Rakhi challenges Pakistani artists to a fun dance-off
In a viral video clip, Indian actor Rakhi Sawant challenged Pakistan's Nargis, Deedar, and Hania Aamir to a dance-off. "From Pakistan, get Hania, Nargis, Deedar, all of them. I'll easily crush them. Don't knock on the door, friend, come right in! I'll show the Pakistanis how to dance," Rakhi vowed.
"I'm Bollywood's number one item girl and the queen of reality shows. Be it dancing or any reality show, I can do it all. My job is to set fire to it all!" she declared, adding that even on her own she can take on all three. "I can dance for twenty-four hours, I've been gifted with that sort of talent. I'll sweat them out." Swiftly amending her mistake, she promised, "No, actually, the viewers will be the ones sweating."
All three entertainers, who were name-dropped by the Indian performer, hilariously responded by lip-syncing to the audio of the clip, save for Nargis who simply pressed her palms together in her version of the video clip. "Ma'am, I've thankfully left showbiz," Nargis wrote.
Meanwhile, Deedar and Hania only indulged Rakhi's challenge by soundlessly mimicking her. "Rakhi jee, an icon," Hania captioned her Instagram reel, whereas Deedar fondly wrote on TikTok, "Welcome, Rakhi jee."
Netizens, too, have been responding to the brazen call-out with laughter. "Good one! Let's make this a trend," an Instagram user suggested in reference to the dubbed videos. "That would be a face-off that I would want to see," another user remarked.
Many praised Hania for her lighthearted response to the challenge. "No one is like you and no one can ever be! Your heart is way too beautiful," one user complimented. "You are the best. You took it so lovingly," commented another.
Holistically observing the interactions, a user on Instagram wrote, "I like the cute responses from all of them. It was for fun indeed. No one was serious. Nicely done."
TikTok users didn't miss out on the fun either. "Deedar, let's rock it, honey," one user wished. Hyping up the Pakistani dancer, another user wrote, "No one can match up to Deedar's level."
In recent developments, Rakhi declared that she's en route to Pakistan to meet up with her self-proclaimed competitors. In a video shared to social media, she said, "I'm going to Pakistan to meet Hania, Nargis, Deedar, and all the big stars over there. Hania, is there space in your home for me? Rakhi Sawant, your sister from India, is coming. Come and pick me up from the airport. I don't have much luggage, just this bag and another one I checked in. I have a flight right now. Hania, I love you."
Hania kept the thread going by taking to Instagram Stories and sharing a taped response of her own. "Salam, everyone. Good morning! I just want to say that life used to be very sad, but now Rakhi jee is here. Rakhi jee, I'm coming to pick you up from the airport," she promised.
While many Pakistani users are also ready to welcome Rakhi into their homes, others can't help but adore her enthusiasm for our local artists, hopeful that she won't rest before cementing a strong friendship between the two nations. With how pleasantly these online shenanigans have been building up, fans are now eager to see an interaction between all four artists - the culmination that we have all been waiting for.
