Aishwarya Rai dazzles, Aamir Khan disappoints? Rare clip of duo dancing to DDLJ song sparks reactions
Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai has mesmerised audiences over the years with her graceful dance moves in songs like Nimbuda, Kajra Re, and more. Now, an old video of her dancing to Shah Rukh Khan's iconic track Tujhe Dekha To from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, alongside Aamir Khan, has resurfaced online—and fans can't stop gushing over how good the duo looks together.

The clip shows Aishwarya and Aamir dancing on stage, with Aishwarya dazzling in a pink lehenga-choli and Aamir sporting a jacket with denim jeans. The two are seen recreating the magic of the beloved romantic number Tujhe Dekha To from DDLJ with charming chemistry. The exact timeline of the event where the two performed together remains unclear.
While some fans gushed about how good they looked together, others felt that Aishwarya carried the performance single-handedly, criticising Aamir's dancing skills. One of the comments read, 'They look so good together. Should've worked in a movie together.' Another said, 'The dress and the colour are so good! Also, all the ads they did for the soft drink brands—they looked dope and had very addictive chemistry. I wanted more of Aish with Aamir.'
Criticising Aamir's dancing, one Reddit user wrote, 'He looks so awkward.' Another said, 'Aamir seems so uninterested.' A third commented, 'Aishwarya carrying the performance on her back,' while someone else remarked, 'Aamir is the second-worst dancer after Ajay among the '90s stars.' Another added, 'Damn, Aishwarya doing the mostest.'
While Aishwarya has delivered hits with Shah Rukh Khan in Devdas, Mohabbatein, and with Salman Khan in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, she has never shared screen space with Aamir Khan.
Aamir will next be seen in the film Sitaare Zameen Par, which also stars Genelia Deshmukh in the lead role. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones and features Aamir as a basketball coach training a team of differently-abled children. The sports comedy-drama is scheduled for theatrical release on 20 June. Aishwarya, on the other hand, is yet to announce his new project after Ponniyin Selvan II.

Aamir Khan reveals why nephew Imran Khan didn't fit in: 'Everyone offered him mainstream films because he looked good'
Aamir Khan has revealed that his nephew, former actor Imran Khan once shared with him on why he quit acting 10 years ago. Speaking with Indian Express, Aamir said that Imran "finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct". He added that while Imran performs well in films such as Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na and Delhi Belly, he "won't fit" in regular Hindi movies. (Also Read | Aamir Khan's Raja Hindustani is 'very uncomfortable to watch', says Imran Khan) Aamir said that Imran wants to be an actor and isn't "comfortable with herogiri". Talking about his nephew, Aamir said, "Yes, Imran has a certain creative instinct. He finds it difficult to fit into the mainstream construct we have. That's not his natural space. Which is why he'd do really well in a film like Jaane Tu and Delhi Belly (2011). He's in his element there. But the moment you put him into a regular Hindi film, he won't fit. He's not comfortable with herogiri. He wants to play a real person. Everybody was offering him mainstream films because he's good-looking. But he wants to be an actor, and not a star." Imran made his onscreen debut when he played the childhood version of Aamir's character in his iconic films, such as Mansoor Khan's romantic film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar. In 2008, Imran made his debut as a lead actor in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na alongside Genelia D'Souza. He has also starred in several other films such as Kidnap, Luck, I Hate Luv Storys, Break Ke Baad, Delhi Belly, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola, Once Upon a Time in Mumbai Dobaara and Gori Tere Pyaar Mein. Imran was last seen in Katti Batti with Kangana Ranaut in 2015. He has been on a break from films since then. Imran is considering making an acting comeback and is going through projects to find the right one. Imran recently revealed that a spy series with Disney+ Hotstar was in the works, but it got canned. Filmmaker Abbas Tyrewala was making the series, but the project was dropped.

Almost 100 million views: Pune grandmother's ‘Kajra Re' dance moves becomes a symbol of financial freedom. Fund manager awestruck
A fund manager's weekend was made special—not by market movement, but by a Pune grandmother's viral dance video. Sharing the clip online, Gurmeet Chadha, Managing Partner and CIO at Compcircle, called it a vision of how one should age—or rather, grow young. For him and many others, the elderly woman's confident moves weren't just dance steps—they were symbolic of joyful aging and a life well-prepared. Her spirited performance sparked a broader conversation on the value of living fully, possibly enabled by smart financial planning that allows freedom and fun in old age. The video, shared by the 3DT Dance Crew on Instagram, shows a charismatic elderly woman—affectionately known as Dadi—lighting up the dance floor with grace, energy, and rhythm to the Bollywood classic Kajra Re. Dressed in a saree and surrounded by younger dancers, she delivers every move with poise and precision. The video has neared the 100-million view mark since being shared last month, resonating with audiences worldwide. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 3𝔻𝕋 𝔻𝔸ℕℂ𝔼 ℂℝ𝔼𝕎 ( 𝐏𝐔𝐍𝐄) 🔹 (@3dt_dance_crew_pune) What makes the moment even more impactful is the wave of emotional and financial reflections it triggered online. Many viewers saw Dadi's performance not just as a feel-good moment, but as a powerful visual metaphor for what aging with dignity and financial independence can look like. Comments poured in from netizens who praised her vitality, speculating that she must have planned her retirement beautifully—emotionally and financially—to be this carefree and confident in her golden years. — connectgurmeet (@connectgurmeet) Some joked that grandmothers who invested in gold back in the '70s are now dancing their way through inflation. Others reflected on their own aging parents and grandparents, drawing inspiration to help their elders live more fulfilling lives. The overwhelming consensus was clear: Dadi had not just danced—she had inspired. Her moves also sparked nostalgic comparisons to legendary Indian dancers like Vyjayanthimala, who continues to dance well into her 90s. In a world often obsessed with youth and productivity, Dadi's viral performance has become an unlikely reminder of the beauty of aging well—with joy, movement, and possibly a well-structured retirement plan.
