With a constant bombardment of Bollywood releases and shows, most dialogues are forgotten by the people. However, a handful of iconic dialogues stand the test of time and among them, a Sonakshi Sinha-delivered dialogue in her debut film Dabangg once again went viral with netizens giving it funny twists.
Sinha’s “Thappad Se Darr Nahi Lagta Sahab (Not afraid of a slap sir)” line to Salman Khan in the 2010 film had etched a special place in the audience’s mind. Thanks to the countless memes that it inspired over the years, it sealed its status as a popular part of pop culture in the recent times.
Now, in a testament to its lasting popularity on social media, Oyo Rooms decided to revive the jokes surrounding it. Coming up with their own twists, the hotels and accommodation platform tweeted: “Thappad se darr nahi lagta sahab, mere boss ke ‘typing…’ se lagta hai (Not afraid of a slap sir, but my boss’ ‘typing’ scares me).”
Soon, the tweet garnered a lot of attention from people on the platform. While most were left in splits trying to figure out what led to this line making a comeback, others joined the conversation giving their own unique twists to it.
