Kartik Aaryan Recreates Salman Khan’s Iconic ‘Saajanji Ghar Aaye’ Dance in ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’; Frustrated Netizens Ask ‘Is He Here To Destroy Every Song?’
The recently released romantic comedy 'Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri' features a dance sequence where lead actors Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday recreate the iconic 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' track 'Saajanji Ghar Aaye' featuring Salman Khan and Kajol. Here's how netizens reacted to the latest version.
With Dhurandhar’s box office domination, Bollywood fans finally breathed a sigh of relief, believing the industry was on the track back to its glory days. However, that optimism quickly faded with the remake of "Saajanji Ghar Aaye" song featuring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. After facing heavy criticism for the remixed songs in the Bhool Bhulaiyaa franchise, Kartik Aaryan has once again found himself at the centre of controversy with the launch of his latest film, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. A video of the actor dancing to the iconic Kuch Kuch Hota Hai track “Saajanji Ghar Aaye” has gone viral on social media, originally featuring Salman Khan and Kajol. ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri’ Movie Review: Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Discount ‘DDLJ’ Romcom Feels Made for Algorithms, Not Fans!

Kartik Aaryan Dances to ‘Saajan Ji Ghar Aaye’ in ‘TMMTMTTM’
Filmmakers and actors still seem to miss a simple point: audiences do not like their favourite tracks from the 90s and early 2000s being ruined in today’s films if not presented perfectly. A clip from Tu Meri Main Tera, Main Tera Tu Meri, featuring Kartik Aaryan dancing to the iconic song Saajan Ji Ghar Aaye has grabbed widespread attention on the internet. The clip shows the actor making a dramatic entry at a celebration, dressed in a black sequinned outfit, with the classic track playing in the background.
To make matters worse, Ananya Panday also joins Kartik in the sequence, and the two are seen shaking a leg with a few background dancers to the timeless song. The makers seemingly tried to keep elements similar to the original version, but unfortunately, the attempt backfired.
