Some Interesting Facts about Asoka Makeup Trend
What is the Asoka Makeup Trend?
This trend originated when influencers began sharing videos showcasing an Indian makeup transformation paired with iconic Bollywood dance moves and songs from the 2001 film 'Asoka,' starring Kareena Kapoor.
While the makeup trend isn't directly related to the movie 'Asoka,' it serves as a tribute to the makeup styles and traditional Indian clothing featured in the film, or perhaps to the actress herself.
These Asoka makeup videos quickly racked up ten million of views on social media, especially TikTok.
What is the song in the Asoka Makeup Trend?
In all the Asoka makeup videos, the Bollywood-style song originates directly from the movie itself, specifically from a song called 'San Sanana.' This song is sung by the actress Kareena Kapoor in a scene where she's playing in the lake.
If you are wondering about what she's actually singing, the English lyrics goes like this:
The Sky is a poet of romance. i am the one he writes about.
there hasnt been one born like me for eons.
they cannot touch (taka tak tak *these are just playful sounds)
none can touch me (taka tak..)
they cannot touch,
none can touch me.
if they touch they will ignite.
if they touch they will ignite.
(ja ja re jaaaa) go go go
(ja re pavan) go o' wind
Go o' wind
(san sanana nana san sanana nan)
QUICKLY (this whole like is just repetitive of the word "quick")
(ja ja ja ja re ja re, ja re pavan)
go go go o' wind! go o' wind!
(shes basically asking the wind to go find her a worthy suitor)
