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. First Published:

Madhoo's Youthful Glow Stuns Onlookers; Fans Say 'Ye Shilpa Ko Compete Karti Hai'
Fans took to the comment box and compared her to Shilpa Shetty, who is also known for defying time when it comes to ageing. 'Ye shilpa ko compete krti hai", wrote a user. 'How she is still so young?" questioned another. 'Mujhe maa uski beti lag rhi hai or beti maa," quipped a third user. In February, Akshay Kumar met his Elaan co-star Madhoo after 20 years at the teaser launch of Kannappa. Recalling working with Madhoo, he complimented her fitness, adding that she hasn't changed at all in all these years and and still looks the same. 'Mujhe aaj itti khushi hain ki main aaj Madhoo ji se mila hoon. Maine ek film kari thi inke saath, she played the lead role opposite me in Elaan (I am so happy to meet Madhoo). I am very happy today. I am meeting her after 20 years," said Akshay. Further adding, 'But you haven't changed at all. You look the same. I told her bilkul aisa lagta hain jaise raat ko fridge mein jaake so jaati hain (It seems like she sleeps inside the fridge at night)," Akshay playfully told the media, with a shy Madhoo beside him. In a 2017 interview with The Times of India, Madhoo spoke about ageing and working actively in films. She said, 'I don't believe in age affecting your persona. I hate it when people say indha vayasula ippadithan. It's not written anywhere that you should look a certain way in a certain age. In my mind, I'm always an actor. I might not be doing any films for five years, but if I get an offer, I should be able to start shooting immediately. I believe in being holistically healthy." When asked about how she manages to keep up with fashion and life trends, the Roja star said, 'I don't browse through style magazines to find out what's happening in the fashion world. But if you are around people who turn out well to all the haute parties, you automatically imbibe it. I attend parties, and red carpet and film events and I can't look out of place there. I believe that looking good will make you feel good and lift your mood." A very popular actress of the 90s, Madhoo married industrialist Anand Shah on February 19, 1999. They are parents to two daughters, Keia and Ameya. For the unversed, Shah is Juhi Chawla's husband, Jay Mehta's cousin.
