Akshay Kumar jumps on Dhurandhar meme trend and takes credit for 'discovering' Akshaye Khanna; says, 'Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya'

Amidst the meme wave, fans have been revisiting the Farah Khan-directed comedy Tees Maar Khan, where Akshay Kumar played a conman masquerading as a celebrated filmmaker.

The massive success of Dhurandhar has not only reshaped the box office landscape but also reignited conversations around Akshaye Khanna’s long-overdue return to mainstream acclaim. As the Aditya Dhar directorial continues its dominant theatrical run, social media has erupted with memes, throwback clips, and nostalgic references celebrating Akshaye’s career.

Amidst the meme wave, fans have been revisiting the Farah Khan-directed comedy Tees Maar Khan, where Akshay Kumar played a conman masquerading as a celebrated filmmaker. He hilariously convinces Akshaye Khanna’s character that he possessed “Oscar-level” acting talent.

That tongue-in-cheek dynamic has now found fresh relevance, as audiences are jokingly crediting Akshay Kumar for “manifesting” Akshaye Khanna’s present-day success.

A fan shared a post on X that read, “Thank you director saab, for giving the nation such an amazing actor.” The comment quickly caught Akshay Kumar’s attention, and the actor responded in characteristically playful fashion, writing, “Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya bhai kabhi ghamand nahi kiya.”

Kabhi ghamand nahi kiya bhai…kabhi ghamand nahi kiya 😜 https://t.co/9uBi3fgA9w
