Manoj Tiwari’s famous Bhojpuri song Rinkiya Ke Papa has once again become a talking point on social media. Originally released around 14 years ago, the track continues to attract listeners and has recently received another boost in popularity after being featured during the Bigg Boss 20 premiere.
The song is particularly remembered for its catchy lyrics and humorous portrayal of a husband-wife argument. Its unusual concept, energetic presentation and Manoj Tiwari’s distinctive Bhojpuri singing style helped turn it into one of the most recognisable songs associated with the singer.
1. The Song Was Released In 2012
Rinkiya Ke Papa was released in 2012 as part of Manoj Tiwari’s album Uparwali Ke Chakkar Mein. Although it originated in the Bhojpuri music industry, the song gradually became popular beyond traditional Bhojpuri-speaking audiences.
Over the years, the track became a familiar choice at weddings, parties and other celebrations. Social-media reels have also helped older regional songs find new audiences, and Rinkiya Ke Papa has repeatedly benefited from that cycle.
The song’s longevity is particularly notable because it has remained recognisable even as musical tastes have changed considerably since its original release.
2. Rinkiya Ke Papa Is Based On Husband-Wife Banter
One of the main reasons for the song’s distinctive identity is its comic portrayal of married life.
The lyrics describe a playful argument between a husband and wife. The wife is shown hitting her husband with a slap, while the husband responds by laughing. She refers to him as “Rinkiya Ke Papa”, which became the phrase most strongly associated with the song.
Rather than being built around a conventional romantic storyline, the song uses everyday domestic banter as its central theme. That humorous setup helped it stand apart from many other Bhojpuri songs of its period.
3. The Song Became Popular At Weddings And Parties
After its release, Rinkiya Ke Papa became particularly popular in social settings. It was frequently played at weddings, parties and other celebrations, while its catchy portions also became suitable for short-form videos and dance performances.
Its appeal has therefore extended well beyond its original album. Even people who may not regularly listen to Bhojpuri music have encountered the track through viral videos and social-media trends.
This ability to repeatedly return to the spotlight has helped the song maintain its status as one of Manoj Tiwari’s best-known musical numbers.
4. Nigerian Singer Samuel Singh Created A Cover
The story of Rinkiya Ke Papa took an unexpected international turn when Nigerian singer Samuel Singh created his own cover version.
Singh became known for performing Bhojpuri songs despite being from Nigeria, and his covers helped him develop an audience among Indian listeners. His version of Rinkiya Ke Papa was released around 2018 and attracted significant attention online.
The cover gave the song another life on digital platforms and demonstrated the growing international reach of Bhojpuri music.
Samuel Singh has also performed covers of other popular Bhojpuri tracks, helping connect regional Indian music with audiences outside the country.
5. Bigg Boss 20 Brought The Song Back Into Focus
The latest revival of Rinkiya Ke Papa is connected to Bigg Boss 20. Manoj Tiwari appeared during the show's premiere as he introduced his daughter Rhiti Tiwari, who entered the season as a contestant.
Manoj performed Rinkiya Ke Papa on the Bigg Boss stage before explaining that he had come to drop his daughter off rather than enter the house himself.
The moment also allowed Salman Khan to revisit Manoj Tiwari’s history with the reality show. Manoj had previously participated in Bigg Boss 4, where his argument with Dolly Bindra over eggs became one of the show's memorable moments. Salman referenced that incident while joking with Manoj and Rhiti.
Manoj Tiwari’s Song Continues To Connect With New Audiences
The renewed attention surrounding Rinkiya Ke Papa shows how older songs can find a fresh audience through television and social media. The track began as a Bhojpuri album song in 2012, became a popular party and wedding number, received an international cover from Samuel Singh and has now returned to the conversation through Bigg Boss 20.
For Manoj Tiwari, the song remains an important part of his musical identity. Despite being active across acting, singing and politics, his Bhojpuri songs continue to remain closely connected with his popularity among audiences.
The latest Bigg Boss appearance has once again reminded viewers of the unusual journey of Rinkiya Ke Papa—from a regional hit to a widely recognised internet-era song with an international cover.
