Ten years after the release of Bulleya from the blockbuster film Sultan, singer Papon is looking back at one of the most defining songs of his career. Even a decade later, the soulful track continues to strike an emotional chord with listeners across generations, proving that heartfelt music never goes out of style.
Released in 2016, Bulleya became an instant favourite for its powerful lyrics, moving composition, and Papon's deeply emotive vocals. Over the years, the song has remained a staple on playlists, social media edits, and live concert requests, finding a new audience among Gen Z while continuing to be cherished by longtime fans.
Reflecting on the milestone, Papon shared how overwhelming it is to see the song continue to enjoy such love after ten years.
Papon says, "It's hard to believe that Bulleya has completed ten years. Some songs become a part of people's lives, and Bulleya is definitely one of those. No matter where I perform or travel, there's always someone requesting me to sing it. Fans often come up to me and tell me that it's their favourite song, and that kind of love is truly priceless."
He adds, "What amazes me even more is how strongly the younger generation connects with it. Even though the song is ten years old, Gen Z and today's youth continue to discover it, relate to its emotions, and make it their own. That's the biggest reward any singer can ask for. It reminds me that honest music has no expiry date."
As Bulleya celebrates a decade, its enduring popularity stands as a testament to Papon's soulful artistry and the timeless appeal of music that speaks directly to the heart.
On the work front, Papon recently unveiled Irshaad, his first-ever ghazal album under his musical series Mehfilz With Papon. Marking a new chapter in his artistic journey, the album blends timeless poetry with contemporary musical sensibilities, introducing ghazals to a younger audience while staying rooted in their classic essence. Following the warm response to Irshaad, the singer is now gearing up to bring more soulful chapters through the Mehfilz With Papon series.
