Bollywood legend Mumtaz and Ahsan Khan dance to “Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche”
Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche from the 1968 film Brahmachari was revived by Pakistani actor Ahsan Khan and legendary senior Bollywood actor Mumtaz in a touching and sentimental scene caught on camera. The video, which has been going viral on social media, features Ahsan donning sunglasses and leading Mumtaz in a joyous dance that is reminiscent of how Mumtaz and Shammi Kapoor were first pictured for the famous song.
In the video, Mumtaz can be seen laughing while Ahsan holds her hand and beams with glee. Mumtaz joins in with her trademark lines “Acha?” and “Toh Kya?” to bring a sense of nostalgia to the spontaneous performance, much like she did in the legendary song years ago when she was paired with Shammi Kapoor.

The charming exchange brings to mind Mumtaz’s famous orange sari from the 1960s, which set fashion trends after the release of the movie Brahmachari. Aaj Kal Tere Mere Pyar Ke Charche was a chart-topper and is still one of many people’s favorite songs.
This brief clip highlights the continuing bonds and camaraderie between artists from India and Pakistan in addition to being entertaining. This touching exchange demonstrates how art can cross divisions and unite people, despite the governmental restrictions that currently prevent collaboration between the entertainment sectors of the two countries.
It is a lovely reminder of the power of shared experiences and the capacity of art to generate treasured memories that reverberate with audiences across generations. It does this by reflecting the universal language of music and dance that transcends borders and cultures.
