During a recent outing, Saina attempted Akshaye’s electrifying entry move, but the real show-stealer turned out to be her father. Channelling the effortless charm of Akshaye Khanna’s late father and legendary actor, Vinod Khanna, Saina’s dad stepped into the frame, striking classic poses, much to the delight of fans.

Her caption summed up the adorable father-daughter moment. The caption read, "When you are #AkshayeKhanna fan, and papa is #VinodKhanna fan.”

Dhurandhar's viral track gains popularity

The track FA9LA, composed by Bahraini rapper Flipperachi, plays during Akshaye Khanna’s grand introduction as Rehman Dakait, a Pakistani crime lord turned political bigwig, making it one of the most viral sequences from the film. The hype grew further after Ranveer Singh himself shared the song on social media, teasing fans with the line, “So here’s THAT track from the movie.”
