Karisma Kapoor Brings Back "Sona Kitna Sona" in New Ad, Fans Claim She "Defied Time"

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.

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!”.

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.
