Besides being liked by critics, he has been dominating social media with his memes, reels, edits, and reactions. The audience is celebrating his comeback in a character that they simply cannot stop talking about.

After winning the hearts of the audience in Chhaava, Akshaye Khanna has once again left the audience stunned with his portrayal of fierce and unpredictable Rehman Dakait.

“Does Akshaye Khanna know he’s getting all this attention?”

But what truly caught the internet’s eye was Farah Khan’s comment. The director cheekily revealed, “I’m sending him the TMK memes.” Within minutes, her reply was widely shared across Reddit and Instagram, with users calling her a hero for keeping him updated. Comments ranged from “Farah Khan is a vibe” to “Farah is an angel”, and another fan wrote, “Thank you, Farah, for doing such noble work.” One even asked her to make a cooking vlog with Akshaye.
