Who Is Bhanu Khan? The Original Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela Girl From Gupt

September 25, 2025 – With Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut series The Ba**ds of Bollywood* making waves, fans are once again talking about Bhanu Khan, the original dancer from the 1997 hit song Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela in Gupt.

In the series, Aryan recreated the classic track using VFX, replacing Bhanu Khan with Mona Singh’s face for the climax scene. This clever twist surprised Bollywood fans, many of whom still remembered Bhanu’s electrifying performance in the original.

Who is Bhanu Khan?

Bhanu Khan was a leading background dancer in the 1990s who shared the screen with big stars. In Gupt, she appeared as a glamorous bartender dancing with Bobby Deol in a white outfit, leaving a strong impression on the audience.

Her popularity grew with several chartbuster songs, including:

• Tere Ishq Mein Naachenge (Raja Hindustani, 1996) with Aamir Khan and Karishma Kapoor

• Gutur Gutur (Dalaal, 1993) featuring Mithun Chakraborty

• Ram Kasam Mera Bada Naam Ho Gaya with Sanjay Dutt

• Doodh Ban Jaaoongi Malai Ban Jaaoongi (Sarhad)

Though she lit up the screen in multiple hits, many moviegoers only remembered her face, not her name — until Aryan’s show brought her back into the conversation.

The Ba***ds of Bollywood connection

Aryan Khan’s debut project has drawn attention for its edgy storytelling and satirical take on the film industry. The series stars Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Mona Singh, Anya Singh, and others.

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the series also features cameos from major names like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranveer Singh, Emraan Hashmi, SS Rajamouli, and Karan Johar.

By digitally inserting Mona Singh into the classic Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela track, Aryan paid homage to 90s Bollywood, while reminding audiences of Bhanu Khan’s forgotten legacy.
