Amid this newfound wave of fan frenzy, an old video of his father, the legendary Vinod Khanna, has resurfaced and is rapidly gaining traction online. The clip features an unexpected but star-studded moment: former Pakistan cricket captain and ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan sharing the stage with Bollywood icons Rekha and Vinod Khanna.
Believed to be from a 1989 charity event in Lahore, the footage shows Rekha and Vinod Khanna dancing together, exuding the kind of old-school charm that defined an era. What caught everyone's attention, however, were Vinod Khanna's hand and arm gestures, movements that fans immediately compared to Akshaye's viral "FA9LA" entry sequence.
Social media users joked that Akshaye may have unknowingly inherited his 'swagger genes,' while others drew playful parallels between the father-son duo's screen magnetism. With Akshaye currently ruling timelines, this nostalgic throwback has only amplified the Khanna family's iconic legacy.
One user commented, "It's hereditary. Something's passes on to the next generation and it ends up showing it in a very subconscious way. You can't beat nature, biology!"
Another user commented, "Akshaye has Copied his Dad's Sly Smiling Style and Dialogue Delivery...Qurbani, Amar Akbar Anthony, Dayavaan.."
One user reacted, "Akshaye's entire aura is from his father. Vinod Khanna was not just handsome, he had an aura that used to put Amitabh, Rajesh Khanna and Dharmendra to shame."
In a recent interview, Akshaye Khanna's Dhurandhar co-actor revealed that the whole dance sequence was improvised and the actor had to pump oxygen between shots to keep his performance uniform throughout the scene.
