Apna Dil Ke by Khesari Lal Yadav, Supriya Chira

Not every song from Apna Dil Ke lingers, but Apna Dil Ke is the one that stays. What makes Apna Dil Ke musically distinctive is the composition by Om Jha, which balances simplicity with depth.

The performance by Khesari Lal Yadav, Supriya Chira is the centrepiece here — controlled where it needs to be, open where it counts. For fans of Khesari Lal Yadav, Amrapali Dubey, Kunal Singh, Prakash Jaish, Shruti Rao, Apna Dil Ke is one of those songs that immediately conjures specific scenes and emotions.

In 2022, Bhojpuri produced many songs, but Apna Dil Ke was one of the handful that genuinely cut through. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

The 3:47 runtime feels perfectly judged — long enough to develop its ideas, short enough to compel a second play. The song continues to find new listeners, which is the surest sign that it was made with something genuine at its core.
