The wedding of Alanna Panday to Ivor McCray in Mumbai was a star-studded affair, but one particular performance truly grabbed the spotlight. Ahaan Panday, Alanna's brother, along with Karan Mehta, took to the dance floor to perform a lively rendition of "I Am The Best" from Shah Rukh Khan's film, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. The performance was made even more special by the presence of Shah Rukh Khan himself, who was seen enjoying the dance with his wife, Gauri Khan.
Videos of the performance quickly went viral on social media, capturing the attention of Bollywood fans and netizens alike. Ahaan and Karan, twinned in white outfits, showcased their energetic moves to the popular song in front of a crowd of family and friends. Shah Rukh Khan, dressed in a black outfit, was visibly amused and sported a smile as he watched the performance.
The choice of song was particularly fitting, given Shah Rukh Khan's presence. "I Am The Best" is a popular track from one of SRK's earlier movies, and the performance served as a tribute to the superstar. The videos circulating online show the crowd cheering and enjoying the performance, with many praising Ahaan and Karan for their dance moves and energy.
While the performance was generally well-received, some social media users couldn't resist pointing out the potential for nepotism, given Ahaan Panday's family connections in Bollywood. Ahaan is the nephew of actor Chunky Panday and cousin to actress Ananya Panday.
Prior to this viral dance performance, Ahaan Panday had already begun to make a name for himself, though not always for positive reasons. A video of him recreating Shah Rukh Khan's dialogue from Ae Dil Hai Mushkil surfaced online and was met with criticism, with many labeling it as "cringe" and "forced."
Despite the mixed reactions to some of his earlier ventures, Ahaan is now gearing up for his official Bollywood debut in the upcoming romantic drama Saiyaara, backed by Yash Raj Films and directed by Mohit Suri. The film marks a significant step for the young actor, and it remains to be seen how he will be received by audiences.
