Hello there, Jugal Hansraj! Long time no see. The 49-year-old actor found a spot on the trends' list on Friday, courtesy a viral video, which has been doing the rounds on the Internet. Jugal Hansraj, who featured in Aditya Chopra's 2000 movie Mohabbatein, can be seen breaking into an impromptu dance gig in the video - the song he dances to is Aankhein Khuli from Mohabbatein. 21 years later, Jugal Hansraj still remembers the hook step of Aankhein Khuli but not the entire choreography. Towards the end of the viral video, Jugal Hansraj can be seen gesturing that he's forgotten some of the choreography. Jugal Hansraj, A for effort.
Here's the viral video, which appears to be from the sets of a shoot with filmmaker Akarsh Khurana.
Jugal Hansraj dancing to Aankhein Khuli gave us major Mohabbatein vibes. Here's the original song from the movie, which had become a chartbuster.
