Kishore Kumar AI Version Of Saiyaara Takes Internet by Storm; Fans Call It More Soulful Than Original
Kishore Kumar's AI-generated version of Saiyaara goes viral online. Fans call it nostalgic, soulful—some even say it's better than the original.
The chart-topping title track of Saiyaara has already cemented its place as a musical phenomenon. But now, a fan-made AI-generated version featuring the legendary voice of Kishore Kumar has added a nostalgic twist to the viral wave. Set against visuals of Rimjhim Gire Sawan, the AI cover has taken social media by storm, sparking debate over creativity, ethics, and authenticity in the age of artificial intelligence.
The edit juxtaposes Kishore Kumar's recreated vocals with the classic rainy Mumbai visuals of Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee from the 1970s hit—creating a surreal time-travel moment for music lovers.

Online, the video has stirred both admiration and skepticism. 'This is so soothing, at first I thought the Saiyaara song was rewritten," commented one user on X. Another gushed, 'The edit is really good, even better than the original." A third added bluntly, 'India literally lost real creators in music industry."
But not everyone was sold. While many applauded the technical finesse, die-hard Kishore Kumar fans pushed back, calling the AI voice a pale imitation of the original. 'Only true Kishore fans will not go 'wow' on this video effort. The original song + the video is a masterpiece. None can replace them even if may seem perfect fit for some noobs," one post read.
Another critic added, 'Good effort with retro-style rhythm arrangement… sounds better than original… yet not even 10% of the power, energy, vibrancy, voice, singing of what KK could have achieved."
This online buzz comes on the heels of Saiyaara's historic global run. The Faheem Abdullah-sung ballad recently became the first Hindi song to top Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart, and also entered Spotify's Top 10 worldwide—a rare feat for a Bollywood track.
Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film has crossed ₹250 crore at the box office, and the song—composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami—has played a pivotal role in its cultural dominance.

WWE RAW: Becky Lynch Humiliates Nikki Bella With John Cena Reference
Last Updated: Bella was embarrassed at Monday Night Raw in Brooklyn when Lynch referenced John Cena. Lynch, celebrating her SummerSlam win, humiliated Bella, sparking a confrontation. Nikki Bella's appearance for Monday Night Raw at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn, New York, on August 4 resulted in embarrassment for the WWE wrestler as she was subjected to a reference to the legendary John Cena. The incident saw women's Intercontinental Champion Becky Lynch humiliate Cena's ex-girlfriend by mentioning his famous 'You can't see him" line inside the ring, amidst loud cheers from a packed crowd in New York. As the feud unfolded at Raw, Lynch came out to address her triumph at the SummerSlam 2025, where she defeated Lyra Valkyria and defended her Intercontinental Championship belt. The result meant that Lyra could no longer challenge Lynch for the prized silverware as long as she remained champion. For Becky Lynch, however, Raw was an opportunity to express her desire to take on new competitors for the belt she proudly adorned. Just as the champion opened up about eyeing a fresh challenge for the title, Nikki Bella's music hit the arena. speechless rn holy shhhhhhhh….. 😲😳 — WWE (@WWE) August 5, 2025 Bella entered the ring and confronted Lynch, telling her she was proud of all her accomplishments and equally fine handing over the women's division to her after stepping away. But The Man turned out to be a disappointment and has handcuffed the women's division. Things took a personal turn when Nikki Bella called Becky Lynch a liar, just like her husband, stating that the only difference is that Seth Rollins' lies are a little more believable. In response, Lynch claimed she and Seth are the greatest WWE couple of all time and tried to get under Bella's skin by sarcastically saying Bella and Cena could've held the tag. But the WWE Hall of Famer and her legendary ex-partner are no longer together. 'Oh wait, you can't see him anymore," Becky Lynch said, while doing the famous Cena move in front of her. As is known, Bella and Cena were in a relationship for several years, parts of which also played out fondly in WWE episodes, before the couple got separated in April 2018, just weeks before their wedding. Fuming inside, Nikki Bella eventually challenged Becky Lynch for the Intercontinental Championship match. The segment then ended with Lynch punching Nikki in the face, providing a snapshot to fans of what to expect from their fight. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Watch: Suniel Shetty Roars From Stands As KL Rahul, Team India Seal Oval Win
Last Updated: The veteran film actor and the Indian opener's father-in-law couldn't hold back his emotions after watching Team India emerge victorious at The Oval on August 4. Bollywood's veteran actor Sunil Shetty stood out as the most jubilant figure from the stands at The Oval on Monday, August 4, as his son-in-law KL Rahul and Team India defeated England to level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2 after a riveting Test match. Shetty couldn't hold back his excitement and joy for Rahul and the rest of the Indian players after they overcame the hosts in a breathtaking six-run win in the final Test. As the spirited Mohammed Siraj dismissed England's Gus Atkinson in the 86th over of play, cricket fever once again engulfed the nation with the sensational win. At the venue, Shetty stood up and roared from the stands, roaring, 'Let's Go!!!' to join the celebrations for the defining moment it the hard-fought trip. Having earlier waved the Indian flag with pride, Shetty poured his heart out while cheering for Team India from the stands in a beautiful moment recorded by his son and young actor, Ahan Shetty. The amusing clip has since gone viral on social media. The junior Shetty echoed the father's delight, stating in a wonderful caption: '2 incredible days at The Oval! What a game and what a win! Come on, India, always my India!" Both Sunil and Ahan would've felt a sense of great pride about Rahul's resurgence in England. After a difficult tour of Australia last winter, the elegant opener had been under pressure to deliver the goods, with his inconsistency and mid-30s average heavily criticised. Rahul showcased his class amidst such discourse by producing masterful hundreds in Headingley and Lord's, and finished the five-match series with 532 runs in 10 innings. His solidity at the top against the new ball allowed India's free-flowing middle-order batters to play at their preferred tempo. Rahul played his most instrumental role yet in India's drawn series result against the mighty Bazball brigade in their den. It would be a cause of vindication to Rahul's biggest supporters – the team management and selectors, who could always see the value he brought to the table. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
