Some songs age like fine wine—the more years they gather, the richer the memories they carry. Rupam Islam’s iconic “Tomar Chokher Kalo” is exactly that kind of melody. And recently, thanks to his wife and longtime partner-in-life, Rupsa Dasgupta, the song found its way back into the headlines — wrapped in nostalgia, love, and a dash of magic.
A Wedding Moment That Melted the Internet
Scrolling through Facebook, fans stumbled upon a special video Rupsa shared. In it, a newlywed groom places vermillion on his bride’s hair parting — not to the usual Sanskrit chants, but to the tune of “Tomar Chokher Kalo.” The moment was pure, intimate, and heartfelt — the kind you rarely see these days. The groom didn’t just complete the ritual; he sang along, arms wide open, as guests cheered.
Rupsa, who has been married to Rupam since 2007, couldn’t help but travel back in time to her own wedding day. Posting the clip, she wrote:
“This couple got married while playing Rupam Islam’s song. During the sindoor ceremony, Tomar Chokher Kalo was playing. No Sanskrit mantras.”
And then she added a personal memory:
“Naturally, even at my wedding, there was no sindoor ceremony. After our court marriage, Rupam sang — the first song he started with was Tomar Chokher Kalo.”
Fans React – And Dream
The post set off a wave of love from fans. Some declared they now want the same song for their own wedding. One fan wrote, “Rupam must be the happiest today. This is what every artist dreams of.” Another called it their “dream wedding plan.” A bold admirer even declared Rupam the “brand ambassador of breaking traditional norms.”
More Than Husband & Wife – True Partners
Rupam and Rupsa’s love story began long before their 2007 wedding. They share a son with the unique name Rup Aarohan Prometheus — proof of the singer’s creative streak even in personal life. Over the years, their bond has blended love, music, and friendship. Rupsa is not just his life partner but also his professional support, handling much of the singer’s work.
Even after 18 years, their chemistry hasn’t dulled. They still spend their days surrounded by songs, stage shows, films, and web series projects. Rupam, now 51, juggles his music career and acting roles, while Rupsa keeps pace, ensuring the partnership feels effortless.
Why This Video Matters
In a world where weddings often feel scripted and overproduced, this small but heartfelt clip reminded people of what truly makes moments timeless — genuine emotion, a personal touch, and a song that means something. For Rupsa, it was a sweet flashback. For fans, it was proof that music doesn’t just play in the background of life — sometimes, it leads the moment.
So, what about you — would you trade the age-old mantras for a melody close to your heart on your big day?
