But I haven’t noticed anywhere, Inder Kumar was featured in one of the popular remixes of early 2000s, a 1990-kid can never forget. Yes, it’s Sajna Hai Mujhe (Remix) from Pretty Lady Mix and Inder Kumar was seen as a handsome hunk in that music video. The song was recorded in the voice of Vaishali Samant. Inder Kumar has also appeared in the music video of Meri Berry Ke Ber – Remix sung by Shashwati.

It’s not the first time, Bollywood actors have appeared in music videos, and many models who appeared in such music videos have turned big stars as well.  Indipop had a glorious era for more than a decade since mid-1990s. Songs like Pari Hoon Mein & Made in India played their significant role in popularizing this parallel form of Indian music among masses. Through this article, I would like to mention 70+ popular music videos starring Bollywood stars, and it’s my humble tribute to Inder Kumar, who lost his life at a comparatively younger age. I am sure, you will definitely love it.
