A scene from the Bollywood film Dhirendra has taken social media by storm. Akshay Khanna, who plays the role of the dacoit Rehman in the film, was left stunned when he suddenly started a traditional dance after getting out of the car and waving his hand.
This moment, shot without any script or plan, went viral so quickly that it is the only thing being talked about on every platform.
But the story doesn’t end here. As soon as Akshay’s dance video went viral, an old video of his father and legendary actor Vinod Khanna also resurfaced.
This video is from a charity concert in 1989, where Vinod Khanna, Rekha and two famous Pakistani cricketers Imran Khan and Javed Miandad are also seen dancing on stage.

When film fans saw the two videos side by side, they noticed a striking resemblance in the father and son’s dance. This resemblance has now become a topic of discussion on social media.
A user wrote on X, “Now I understand… Akshay Khanna copied his father in Dhirendra!”
The comment immediately went viral and people started sharing the two clips together. This entry scene of Akshay Khanna was already explosively popular, but after Vinod Khanna’s video surfaced, the debate has taken on a new color. Fans say that be it on the film screen or at a stage concert, the Khanna family’s dance reflects the same power and energy that has been passed down from generation to generation.
