On Tuesday, Akshaye Khanna turns 48. Here, we present a vintage video of the actor and Aishwarya Rai dancing to the song Chura Liya Hai by Zeenat Aman.
In the clip, Aishwarya gave her guitar to a person and walked backwards smiling. She bumped into Akshaye Khanna and laughed. The duo then started dancing to Zeenat’s iconic song Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko. In the video, Akshaye wore a shimmery red shirt and black pants.
The video has garnered a lot of attention online
In another segment of the clip, Aishwarya danced to Zeenat’s another iconic song, Dum Maro Dum. Chura Liya Hai Tumne Jo Dil Ko is from the film Yaadon Ki Baaraat (1973) and is featured on Zeenat Aman. Dum Maro Dum is from the film Hare Rama Hare Krishna (1971). Both the songs have been sung by singer Asha Bhosle.
The video was shared on Instagram with the caption, “One of her best performances.” A fan commented, “Brooo her doing Zeenat Aman tributes.” Another person wrote, “Their chemistry.” “@akshaykhanna has been one of the most good-looking actors in Bollywood,” said another Instagram user. A comment read, “She is highly talented. Her beauty is unique.”
