Aditi Rao Hydari’s Gajagamini walk from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar has become a viral sensation on social media. Fans worldwide are recreating the iconic step, and even Aditi joined the trend during her Cannes Film Festival appearance. The latest celebrity to embrace this viral walk, albeit humorously, is Rajkummar Rao.
Rajkummar Rao’s Hilarious Recreation
On Wednesday, Janhvi Kapoor, Rajkummar’s co-star in Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, shared a hilarious video on her Instagram. In the video, Janhvi, donning her cricket pads, prepares to bat while Rajkummar, who is bowling, mimics her walk. As he walks back to the crease, he performs an awkward yet amusing walk that strikingly resembles Aditi Rao Hydari’s Gajagamini stance from Heeramandi.
Janhvi Kapoor’s Playful Post
Janhvi Kapoor added the Heeramandi song “Saiyyan Hatto Jaao” to the video and captioned it, “Our very own gajagamini walk took a minute to get used to all those cricket pads but glad I could amuse u Mr. Mahi (slurrp emoji).” The official Instagram handle of Dharma Productions, which is producing Mr. and Mrs. Mahi, commented, “That’s the way #TheMahiWay! (laughing with tears emojis).” Social media influencer Orhan Awatramani, also a close friend of Janhvi, wrote, “@rajkummar_rao >>>” Rajkummar’s Badhaai Do co-star Gulshan Devaiah humorously added, “Get him to wear leg guards and walk … let’s see kya chaal chalta hai woh (how he walks).”
