Karisma Kapoor, the beloved Bollywood diva of the 90s, is
once again capturing the spotlight as she revisits one of her most iconic
tunes. In a new commercial for Swiggy Instamart’s Dhanteras special, she
revives the classic track "Sona Kitna Sona," first featured in the
1997 film Hero No. 1. This nostalgic revival has fans buzzing,
celebrating not just the catchy tune but Karisma’s enduring charm and elegance.
The commercial features Karisma dancing on a film set,
showcasing her signature style while the music adapts classic lyrics to
introduce playful variations. The clever changes replace "sona"—which
means "gold" in Hindi—with humorous alternatives like
"rona" (crying), "dhona" (washing), and "khona"
(losing). This blend of nostalgia and modernization culminates in a captivating
moment where Karisma shoots a fierce look into the camera, reminding everyone of
her stunning presence and charisma.
Originally, "Sona Kitna Sona" highlighted her
dynamic chemistry with actor Govinda, and this refreshed version underscores
her timeless energy. Far from the past, she proves that she still possesses the
same captivating flair that earned her admiration in an era that defined
Bollywood. Fans have taken to social media to express their amazement at how
little she has changed over the years. Actress Ridhima Pandit commented, “Wow,
Karisma Kapoor looks just the same!”. Wow, howww!” Such sentiments were echoed
widely, with followers noting, “Karishma looks exactly the same after 20
years!!” and “Oh man… she froze time. Still so same? Wow.”
Karisma's enduring presence is a testament to her talent and
beauty. Numerous fans and industry peers are vocal about her potential for a
return, with comments like, “Karisma should make a comeback... “She would
outshine all the current heroines. What a beauty!” Such comments highlight the
enduring admiration she has garnered over the years, solidifying her status as
a true Bollywood icon whose allure transcends generations.
Karisma Kapoor launched her film career with Prem Qaidi
in 1991, marking the beginning of her journey in Bollywood.
