When nostalgia meets perfect comic timing, the internet tends to lose its mind. That’s exactly what happened when Akshay Kumar revived one of Bollywood’s most random yet beloved meme lines - “Hi Rupa, naha liya?” during a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune India.
Akshay Kumar revives his iconic line
The iconic line originally comes from the 2006 comedy Bhagam Bhag, directed by Priyadarshan, where Akshay’s character blurts it out mid-chaos. At the time, it was just another absurd gag in line with the film’s frantic humour. But years later, the line took on a life of its own online, becoming a staple reaction meme across WhatsApp groups, Instagram reels and GIF keyboards.
