Akshaye Khanna has been enjoying renewed attention over the past two months following the blockbuster run of Dhurandhar. The Aditya Dhar-directed film, which also stars Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan and Sanjay Dutt, shattered box-office records, with Akshaye’s portrayal of Rehman Dakait emerging as one of its most talked-about elements.
As the film continued to dominate discussions, fans began revisiting the actor’s earlier work, digging up old interviews, film clips and stage appearances. The latest addition to this wave of nostalgia is a throwback performance from the year 2000 that has resurfaced online and quickly gone viral.
The video shows Akshaye Khanna dancing to Chaiyya Chaiyya, the iconic track from Shah Rukh Khan’s Dil Se (1998). Dressed in a sharp black suit and cap, Akshaye shares the stage with Twinkle Khanna, who appears in a shimmering gold lehenga. The performance stands out for its smooth choreography and Akshaye’s relaxed, confident energy, which has caught the attention of a new generation of viewers.
The clip also features Aamir Khan performing to Dil Deewana from Maine Pyar Kiya, followed by a lively group garba with Akshaye and Aamir on Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with users praising Akshaye’s charm, screen aura and effortless style. The viral moment has only reinforced his enduring appeal, proving that some performances never fade with time.
