Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has once again charmed social media users with his trademark wit. The incident occurred amidst the widespread appreciation for Akshaye Khanna’s performance in the recently released film Dhurandhar. While Khanna is garnering praise for his role and an improvised dance sequence, fans have been revisiting his past work, leading to a humorous exchange on the platform X (formerly Twitter).
The interaction began when a fan shared a clip from Farah Khan’s 2010 comedy Tees Maar Khan. In the scene, Akshay Kumar’s character, posing as a filmmaker, attempts to recruit Akshaye Khanna for a project. Drawing a playful parallel between the movie scene and Khanna’s current success, the fan captioned the post, “Thank you director saab, for giving the nation such an amazing actor.”
Akshay Kumar’s humorous response
Not one to miss a beat, Akshay Kumar responded to the fan with a tongue-in-cheek comment that quickly went viral. He wrote:
“Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya bhai… kabhi ghamand nahi kiya (I have never been arrogant, brother… never).” — Akshay Kumar
This lighthearted remark sparked a frenzy online, with netizens celebrating the actor’s down-to-earth nature and comic timing. The comment section was flooded with reactions praising the interaction.
One user commented, “Hey Akshay bhai, that’s the spirit – keep shining bright!” while another quipped, “Farah Khan knew it.” Several fans expressed nostalgia for the duo’s on-screen chemistry, calling for a reunion in a classic Priyadarshan-style comedy, predicting it would be a “sure-shot all-time blockbuster.” Others playfully asked the actor about potential sequels, with one user asking him to “reveal the scheme.”

Dhurandhar’s box office run
The context for this viral moment is the massive success of Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller Dhurandhar. Starring Ranveer Singh alongside Akshaye Khanna, the film has performed exceptionally well commercially. Khanna, in particular, has been trending for his unexpected dance moves to the Arabic track FA9LA, which reports suggest was his own improvisation.
According to Sacnilk reports, the film collected ₹27 crore on its seventh day. This pushed its domestic total to approximately ₹207.25 crore. Following a strong Thursday collection of ₹29.20 crore, the movie has solidified its status as one of the year’s significant hits, driven by positive word-of-mouth and social media traction.
