Akshay Kumar Teaches Jacqueline Fernandez The Fugdi Dance; Fans Recall Mujhse Shaadi Karogi
Last Updated:
Akshay Kumar and Jacqueline Fernandez recreate the Fugdi dance in a fun video ahead of Housefull 5, sparking comparisons to Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.
As the release of Housefull 5 draws closer, the promotional fever is rising—and with good reason. The makers recently unveiled The Phoogdi Dance, a high-energy track blending traditional Konkan folk elements with a modern rap twist. The song features the film's ensemble cast letting loose on a cruise ship, setting the tone for what promises to be a wild, laughter-packed ride. But it's a behind-the-scenes moment that's now stealing the spotlight online.
Jacqueline Fernandez took to Instagram to share a fun video with co-star Akshay Kumar, who can be seen showing her the moves to the Fugdi dance—a traditional Maharashtrian folk dance form typically performed during festive celebrations. The playful chemistry between the two instantly reminded fans of the iconic camaraderie between Sunny (Akshay) and Sameer (Salman Khan) from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. One fan even posted a GIF from the film's dance sequence in the comments section, and the resemblance is uncanny.
The comment section lit up with excitement. 'Now this gonna be energy for Housefull 5," wrote one user, while another joked, 'Movie se zyada to promotion dhekne mei maja aa raha hai." Someone else chimed in with, 'Don't mess with Khiladi," and another fan called Jacqueline and Akshay 'the most energetic celebrity in whole Bollywood."
The Phoogdi Dance features Nana Patekar introducing the gang to the Fugdi, infusing the number with regional flair and nostalgic echoes of Papa Toh Band Bajaye from Housefull 2. The song's fusion of folk rhythms and contemporary beats is already catching on with fans eager for the film's release.
Directed by Tarun Mansukhani, Housefull 5 is the fifth installment in the blockbuster comedy franchise and comes with a twist: a murder mystery set aboard a luxurious cruise ship. Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, and Abhishek Bachchan headline the comedic chaos as prime suspects in the whodunit-meets-farce narrative.
Pinkvilla previously reported that the film's producers submitted two different cuts of the movie to the CBFC, hinting at alternate climaxes or edits. At 2 hours and 43 minutes, Housefull 5 is also longer than its predecessors, likely owing to its massive ensemble cast and intricate storyline.
The cast lineup reads like a who's who of Bollywood's funniest and most charismatic faces. Apart from Akshay, Jacqueline, Riteish, and Abhishek, the film stars Sonam Bajwa, Nargis Fakhri, Chitrangda Singh, Shreyas Talpade, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar, Fardeen Khan, and Chunky Panday.
With its theatrical release set for June 6, 2025, Housefull 5 promises to bring a storm of laughter, music, and madness to the big screen. And if The Phoogdi Dance is anything to go by, fans are in for an all-out celebration.

WATCH: Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar and Krunal Pandya lead dance celebration as RCB receive hero's welcome at team hotel
RCB players dancing as they enter the team hotel after IPL title triumph. New Delhi: Following their Indian Premier League victory after an 18-year wait, Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Rajat Patidar and all-rounder Krunal Pandya celebrated with teammates at their Ahmedabad hotel, enjoying a lively welcome that included traditional dhol drumming. Upon arriving at the hotel, Kohli and Mo Bobat, the latter carrying the championship trophy, were greeted by Pandya, who began performing some Garba dance moves. Usually reserved, Patidar celebrated enthusiastically with teammate Jitesh Sharma. Even veteran player-turned-coach Dinesh Karthik joined in the festivities. Suyash Sharma, Swastik Chikara, and Yash Dayal showcased their skills, while Phil Salt and Tim David recorded the event on their phones. The clip is available on social media. Entry but make it BOLD. ❤️🔥 — Royal Challengers Bengaluru (@RCBTweets) June 4, 2025 RCB's supporters enthusiastically received the team following their arrival at the hotel. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) The Royal Challengers Bangalore achieved their first Indian Premier League championship by beating the Punjab Kings by six runs in Ahmedabad. For Kohli and his crew, it put an end to a long run without a victory. RCB's win against PBKS was a hard-fought contest, displaying their grit and determination to secure victory at any cost. The support of their home fans did not translate into better batting, so Bengaluru ended up with 190 runs on the scoreboard. Kohli achieved 43 runs in his innings of 35 balls. Bengaluru's initial score seemed insufficient, but their bowlers' consistent pressure ultimately secured victory. Bengaluru secured victory against Punjab when Josh Hazlewood bowled two consecutive dot balls, leaving Punjab needing 29 runs from the final over. Despite a late, impressive 61 not out from Shashank Singh (30 balls, including three fours and six sixes), Punjab's innings closed at 184 for 7 wickets.

If you are even slightly confused, then we give you a hint that one of them has made a splash with his acting on the big screen and one taught how to love in the 90s. Now, maybe you can recognise that the person standing behind Rekha is none other than Mohabbatein film star Jugal Hansraj.

Fact Check: Did BTS' Jungkook, Cha Eun Woo and SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, Jeonghan dine together recently?
The sight of K-pop idol autographs on restaurant walls is nothing new in South Korea. However, a recent update from a popular BBQ eatery has caused a flurry of online speculation. Apgujeong Matzip, a restaurant located in Seoul, recently gained attention after a content creator uploaded a video. It showed signed autographs from some of the biggest names in K-pop: BTS' Jungkook, ASTRO's Cha Eun Woo, and SEVENTEEN members Mingyu and Jeonghan. Given the popularity of these artists, the video spread quickly across social media. It prompted enthusiastic chatter among fans who began speculating whether all four idols had visited the restaurant together. Did the 97 liners hang out together? The excitement was particularly fueled by the well-known friendship between Jungkook, Cha Eun Woo, and Mingyu. As members of the '97 liners' friendship circle (a group of male idols born in 1997) the trio's public interactions have always delighted fans. The addition of Jeonghan's autograph sparked curiosity, as his name isn't typically associated with the core 97-liner group. Social media erupted with posts celebrating the possibility of a rare get-together. Fans express joy over their potential bonding time. But the timeline tells a different story Despite the excitement, not everyone was convinced. Eagle-eyed fans pointed out that the restaurant had posted images of the idols' autographs on different dates. This suggests the signatures may not have come from a single visit. A closer look at Apgujeong Matzip's Instagram page confirmed that the posts showcasing each autograph were shared separately over time. This casts doubt on the theory of a joint dinner. This discrepancy led some fans to reconsider the possibility of a group outing. Many acknowledge that while the signatures were real, the idols likely dined there individually on different occasions. Military schedules further complicate the theory Adding to the skepticism are the military enlistment timelines of two of the four idols in question. Both BTS' Jungkook and SEVENTEEN's Jeonghan are currently serving their mandatory military duties. This makes it nearly impossible for them to have attended a public gathering like this in recent weeks. Jungkook enlisted on December 12, 2023, alongside fellow BTS member Jimin. He is expected to complete his service by June 11, 2025. Meanwhile, Jeonghan began his military service on September 26, 2024. He is currently fulfilling his duties through an alternative service route. Unlike Jungkook and Jeonghan, Cha Eun Woo and Mingyu have yet to enlist. On May 29, 2025, Fantagio Entertainment confirmed that Cha Eun Woo would be joining the military on July 28, 2025. As for SEVENTEEN's Mingyu, PLEDIS Entertainment has not released any official statements regarding his enlistment plans. Given these overlapping military commitments, the likelihood of Jungkook and Jeonghan being present at the restaurant together, or with the other two idols, seems slim.
