A wedding entry turned into an internet sensation after a groom decided to ditch the usual routine and walk in with pure cinematic flair. Drawing inspiration from Akshaye Khanna’s now-iconic dance walk in Dhurandhar, the groom recreated the move so effortlessly that the clip quickly went viral online.

The video was shared on Instagram by Shoaib Qureshi, who cheekily captioned it, “Arriving in swag.” In the clip, the groom is seen leading his baraat while grooving to FA9LA, the high-energy viral track in Dhurandhar, perfectly echoing Khanna’s relaxed yet confident steps that fans instantly recognised.

Akshaye Khanna’s original scene from Dhurandhar had taken social media by storm after the film’s release. What made it stand out was the actor’s laid-back, improvised dance-walk, simple, stylish, and brimming with attitude. The move became meme material after its release.

Channeling the same vibe, the groom pulls off the steps as friends and family surround him, cheering and dancing along. What could have been just another wedding entry quickly transformed into a full-scale performance that left viewers impressed.

Another comment read, “In our place, people would say the groom is drunk”.

A third user wrote, “Whoever is the dulhan, sis you married a lifetime entertainer, congratulations. And the girlfriends and fiancée’s of other guys supporting him all the best.”

Adding a dose of sarcasm, one person commented, “Dance now, bro—from tomorrow you’ll be dancing to your wife’s instructions”.
