Internet cringes as Kartik Aaryan recreates Salman Khan's Saajanji Ghar Aaye in Tu Meri Main Tera: ‘Stop ruining…'

Several videos of Kartik Aaryan and Panday dancing to Saajanji Ghar Aaye in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri have surfaced on social media.

It’s not just the beats and nostalgia of Saat Samundar Paar that appears to have knocked Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri off balance. Now, a video of Kartik grooving to Salman Khan’s iconic Saajanji Ghar Aaye in the film has surfaced on social media, and the internet is not impressed.

In his recent film, Kartik Aryan has danced to a song made famous by Salman Khan: Saajanji Ghar Aaye from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
