Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba**ds of Bollywood, has created a lot of buzz, not only for its dramatic story but also for its nostalgic references to classic Bollywood songs. One moment that surprised fans was the recreation of the 1997 hit song Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela. In the show, actor Mona Singh’s face was cleverly inserted through VFX over the original background dancer, bringing back memories of the original performance.
Who is Bhanu Khan? Bollywood’s Iconic Dancer
The original song, from Bobby Deol’s movie Gupt (1997), featured Bhanu Khan as a glamorous bartender, dancing alongside the lead actor. Wearing a white outfit, Bhanu’s energetic and captivating performance left a lasting impression on audiences. Despite her screen presence, Bhanu Khan’s name was not widely remembered, though she appeared in several iconic dance numbers in the 1990s. Some of her other popular songs include Tere Ishq Mein Naachenge (Raja Hindustani, 1996), Gutur Gutur (Dalaal, 1993), and Doodh Ban Jaaoongi Malai Ban Jaaoongi (Sarhad).
