Saina Nehwal Recreates Akshaye Khanna’s Dhurandhar Entry Scene, But Her Dad Steals The Show

Aditya Dhar-directed Dhurandhar hit the theatres on December 5, featuring Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt. The spy thriller has been receiving praise from both

audiences and critics alike. Although Ranveer is the lead hero in the film, Akshaye’s performance as the Pakistani crime lord and politician Rehman Dakait has become an unexpected screen-stealer.

One of the most talked-about scenes in the film is the powerful entry of Akshaye’s character. That’s when the now-viral track FA9LA, written and performed by Flipperachi and Daffy, plays. And just like the rest of the internet, badminton icon Saina Nehwal has also fallen for it. She did not just listen to the song on repeat, but went a step further and recreated the iconic dance of the actor.

Saina Nehwal’s Father Recreates Vinod Khanna’s Poses

Taking to her Instagram account on Sunday, December 7, Saina shared a clip filmed at a train station. In it, she was seen attempting Akshaye’s electrifying entry choreography from Dhurandhar. Dressed in a beige sweater and black printed trousers, she performed the dance at the station. However, the real surprise of the video was her father.

Midway through the clip, he joined her and then began posing like the legendary actor Vinod Khanna, Akshaye’s father. In the caption, Saina wrote, “When ur #akshaykhanna #fan and papa is #vinodkhanna fan.” The playful moment between the father-daughter duo, who are currently travelling in Europe, made the internet smile.
