Social media just turned another everyday hero into a star—and this time, it’s Raju Kalakar, the man who made music out of stones. You’ve probably seen his heartfelt rendition of “Dil Pe Chalayee Churiyan” floating all over your feed. Well, now he’s taking it to the next level.
In a twist that feels straight out of a movie, Raju is starring in a full-fledged music video with none other than Anjali Arora, famously known as the “Kacha Badam girl.” And yes, Sonu Nigam is lending his iconic voice to the track.
From Viral Sensation to Music Video Star
Let’s rewind a bit. Raju Kalakar—whose real name is Raju Bhatt—went viral for singing “Dil Pe Chalayee Churiyan” while rhythmically tapping stones. His raw emotion and simple setup touched millions. The internet fell in love.
And now, that same viral clip is becoming a professionally produced music video, all set to drop on July 14.
Who’s In the Music Video?
This isn’t just a solo act. Alongside Raju Kalakar and Anjali Arora, you’ll also see:
- Social media influencer Rajan Arora
- Content creator Deepak Garg
- Actor Rishabh Shukla
The teaser is already out, and it’s packed with energy, vibrant visuals, and a whole lot of nostalgia. Expect a modern tribute to the classic song from Bewafa Sanam, with Raju’s unique stone beat twist.
Sonu Nigam Spotted It First
Raju’s turning point? A repost by Sonu Nigam himself. The veteran singer shared a collab clip where he sang the iconic track, while Raju jammed along with his signature stone beats. In his caption, Sonu wrote:
“You’ve been humming this… Now, something special is coming this Monday.”
And boy, he wasn’t kidding.
So, Who Exactly is Raju Kalakar?
Born in Nagaur, Rajasthan, Raju now lives in Vadodara, Gujarat, where he’s been working in horse riding for the past five years. But music was always in his soul. He once learned how to play rhythm with stones from a boy on a train—and the rest, as they say, is viral history.
Today, Raju Kalakar has over 281K followers on Instagram, and that number’s only going up.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just a feel-good story—it’s proof of what authentic talent + internet love can do. Raju didn’t need a fancy studio, slick gear, or a PR team. All he had were some stones, a soulful voice, and a passion that connected with people.
Now, he’s starring in a professionally produced music video with top creators and one of India’s most respected singers.
Final Words: Keep an Eye on July 14
