“Kesariya” is an upbeat, folk-infused pop song by Indian singer Suneeta Rao, released in the 1990s as part of her popular repertoire. The track features lively traditional-style lyrics written by Shyam Anuragi, blending catchy pop beats with a vibrant, celebratory rhythm.
Suneeta became popular with the song “Paree Hoon main”. She released a Hindi pop album entitled Dhuan in 1991 with Gramophone Company India, which sold over 75,000 copies, with music by Lesle Lewis.
The song and video of “Paree” from the album made Suneeta Rao a household name, leading the press to affectionately crown her the “Paree of the Masses”.
She released a Hindi pop album entitled Talaash in 1999 with Gramophone Company India, with music by Ranjit Barot. Two videos that hit the screen were for the songs “Dehka Dehka” and “Kesariya”, two folksy upbeat tracks that reinstated Rao at the top of the charts.
She then released a new single and music video entitled “Chhoti Chhoti Baatein” as part of the Magnasound album A Reason To Smile on the occasion of 50 years of Indian Independence. She also featured in a group song in the album called “Wajah Muskurane Ki”.
Her career includes songs from films like Ghulam-e-Mustafa, Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge and Kahin Pyar Na Ho Jaye.
