Evergreen Kumar Sanu Continues to Rule Generations as His Iconic ‘Aankhon Se Tune Kya Keh Diya’ Gets Recreated for ‘Bhai Tera Star Hai’ Melody King and evergreen voice Kumar Sanu continues to rule the hearts of music lovers across generations, with his iconic songs from the 90s remaining timeless favourites even decades after their release. Nearly three decades after Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik’s iconic rendition of ‘Aankhon Se Tune Kya Keh Diya’ became a cult favourite, the beloved melody has now been recreated as ‘Aankhon Se Tune 2.0’ for the Raghav Juyal-starrer Bhai Tera Star Hai. The new version brings together the original voices of Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik with Palak Muchhal and Dev Negi, giving a contemporary spin to a song that has remained etched in the memories of Bollywood music lovers. Originally featured in the 90s film Ghulam, starring Aamir Khan and Rani Mukerji, ‘Aankhon Se Tune Kya Keh Diya’ went on to become one of the era’s most cherished romantic melodies. Sung by Kumar Sanu and Alka Yagnik, the song captured the innocence and emotion of young love, with its soulful melody and heartfelt vocals giving it an emotional quality that continues to resonate with listeners even today. The new rendition retains the emotional essence of the original while introducing a contemporary musical arrangement that unfolds against dreamy, rain-soaked visuals, bringing alive the charm of old-school Bollywood romance with a fresh, modern sensibility. By introducing the iconic melody to a contemporary audience, the recreation carries forward the legacy of a song that has remained deeply embedded in the nostalgia and musical memories of an entire generation. On being asked about the recreated version of his iconic song, the Melody King of Bollywood, Kumar Sanu says, “Whenever I hear Aankhon Se Tune Kya Keh Diya, it still feels fresh! I sang very few songs for Amir Khan and they all were hit and Amir and Rani’s pair looked amazing on screen! I remember having such a wonderful time in studio with Jatin Lalit. Alka Ji and I were equally particular about getting every emotion and feel of the song just right. Our duet songs always worked so well. I rehearsed the song with jatin lalit to sound effortless and perfect. I’ve worked with them many times before but the moment this music started, we became completely immersed in the song. What a romantic track! Looking back now, I think that sincerity and commitment to deliver the best I can, is a beautiful memory I will always cherish.” Kumar Sanu’s contribution to Hindi film music goes far beyond a collection of hit songs. As one of the defining voices of the 90s, he played a significant role in creating a golden era of Bollywood music, giving the industry some of its most memorable melodies and shaping the musical memories of an entire generation. Even after three decades, his voice continues to remain as relevant and loved, finding a place in the musical landscape of today while carrying forward a significant part of the legacy of Hindi music and Bollywood. That enduring connection with audiences across generations is what makes Kumar Sanu truly evergreen, with his voice continuing to live on through the songs that defined an era and the music that continues to inspire generations to come. Bhai Tera Star Hai, directed by Vivek B. Agrawal and starring Raghav Juyal, is slated to release in cinemas on July 30, 2026.

mPokket Deepens Its ESG Commitment, Powering Rural Education Transformation Across 100 Schools in West Bengal The fintech lender's sponsorship of Help Us Help Them's rural education programme delivers measurable gains across Environmental, Social, and Governance outcomes, with impact rippling out to families and communities across 12 districts Bangalore, India, 30 July 2026 mPokket, one of India's leading digital lending platforms, today reaffirmed its commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles with the release of results from "Apni Mitti Se Judi Shiksha," a year-long rural education programme it sponsored in full partnership with Help Us Help Them (HUHT). The initiative sits at the core of mPokket's social impact strategy of using its scale as a fintech lender to invest not just in access to credit, but in the education, environmental, and community systems that determine who gets to use that access well. The programme ran through 2025 across 100 rural schools in 12 districts of West Bengal, integrating 18 traditional rural livelihood skills, including agriculture, pottery, textile work, and Kalaripayattu, into mainstream academic curricula, reaching over 9,000 students and 800 teachers. mPokket supported every stage of the programme: school selection and onboarding, infrastructure (including 356 computers, 7,000 flutes, and toilet blocks in 33 schools), teacher and school-head training, artisan salaries for 151 community artisans, and on-ground monitoring across all 100 schools. "At mPokket, we believe that access to credit and access to quality education solve the same underlying problem: giving people the confidence and the tools to build their own future. This programme was never about writing a cheque and stepping back. Over the past year, we've watched teacher attendance more than double, seen toilets built that changed whether girls came to school at all, and heard from children who found their voice through music and craft, not textbooks. That's the kind of change we want our name attached to. This is just the first year. We're already planning how we deepen this partnership through 2026 and 2027," said Rajani Jalan, who oversees HR and CSR at mPokket. "None of this would exist at this scale without mPokket. A hundred schools, twelve districts, thousands of children learning skills rooted in their own soil, this only happened because mPokket chose to stand behind it fully, from the first school we onboarded to the last toilet block we built. They didn't just fund a programme, they backed a belief: that rural India's children don't need to leave their roots behind to build a future. We are grateful for a partner who saw that vision and made it real," said Mukti Gupta, Founder, Help Us Help Them (HUHT).

Go Colors Enters a New Era; Appoints Shraddha Kapoor as Its First-Ever Brand Ambassador India, July 30, 2026: Go Colors, India's leading women's bottom wear brand, has announced acclaimed Bollywood actor Shraddha Kapoor as its first ever Brand Ambassador. The partnership marks a significant milestone for the brand and reinforces its continued investment in strengthening its consumer connect as it enters its next phase of growth. Over the past decade, Go Colors has pioneered the women's bottom wear category in India, expanding its presence to more than 750 exclusive brand stores across the country. While the brand established category leadership through leggings, it has consistently evolved in line with changing consumer preferences. Today, its portfolio spans trousers, denims, cargos, joggers, skirts, palazzos, culottes, athleisure and more, offering one of the widest assortments of women's bottom wear in the country. As the brand expands its presence and strengthens its positioning, Shraddha Kapoor is a strategic choice for this next phase of growth. She is recognised for her authenticity, refined style and broad appeal across generations. These qualities align closely with the values that define Go Colors today, including comfort, confidence and individuality. This evolution is anchored in a simple belief, that comfort isn't a trend; it's the foundation of great everyday clothing. Every Go Colors product is designed around superior fit, thoughtfully selected fabrics, quality craftsmanship and functional innovations that make clothing easier to wear through every part of the day. The partnership debuts with Life Moves In Your Comfort Zone, a campaign that challenges the conventional belief that growth happens only outside one's comfort zone. Instead, it celebrates the confidence, authenticity and freedom that come from feeling comfortable in what you wear, reinforcing Go Colors' belief that when women are comfortable, they are empowered to be their most authentic selves. Commenting on the partnership, Shraddha Kapoor said: "Comfort has always been one of the biggest factors in how I choose what to wear. When you feel comfortable, you feel more like yourself. That's what drew me to Go Colors. Beyond the incredible variety they offer, I love how every product starts with understanding what women actually want to wear every day. I'm excited to be part of a brand that's redefining everyday fashion through comfort." Speaking on the announcement, Vatsal Koolwal, CMO, Go Colors, said: "This is one of the biggest milestones in Go Colors' journey. We've spent years building leadership in women's bottom wear, and today we're entering the next phase of our evolution. Our ambition is to build India's most loved comfort-first apparel brand, where thoughtful design, superior fit and functional innovation come together to create products women genuinely enjoy wearing every day. Shraddha is the perfect partner for this journey because she embodies authenticity, relatability and effortless confidence - qualities that reflect the brand we're building."
