Kajol has finally responded to her husband Ajay Devgn’s now-famous “finger step” with Mrunal Thakur in the new track Pehla Tu Duja Tu from the upcoming movie Son of Sardaar 2. As always, Kajol didn’t stop her mischievous self and came up with a snarky version that people couldn’t get enough of. Calling Ajay the “smartest dancer” in Bollywood, she teased that he now dances with his fingers and still gets away with it. “Even his fingers have swag,” she laughed, in a light-hearted roast that quickly hit headlines and fueled the already abuzz debate around the song.
The finger dance, where the choreography merely was a counting-like motion in step with the beat, made it to the internet’s radar instantly though not for its brilliance, rather for its extreme weirdness. Social media went abuzz with funny interpretations, likening the move to instructing toddlers on how to count. Others even questioned out loud if Ajay Devgn was attempting to entirely exclude himself from dancing. The responses varied from laughter to bewilderment, particularly as the romance sequence takes place in a graveyard, which would create a more weird atmosphere than sentimental.
In spite of the internet making fun of him, Ajay Devgn did not look ruffled, and now with Kajol joining in on the funnies, the moment feels more of an inside joke that is being shared with everyone. Singer Vishal Mishra, who provided vocals for the song, also weighed in with laughing emojis, indicating that even the crew of the film is having fun with the light-hearted roasting.
Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, Son of Sardaar 2 is a spiritual follow-up to the 2012 success. Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur play lead roles in this one and it releases on July 25, 2025. With such moments already creating ripples prior to its launch, the movie appears to be cashing in on the popularity, regardless of the unorthodox source. Whatever the fans are doing as they laugh with the movie or at it, it is certain: Ajay’s finger step has everyone pointing, clicking, and talking, and Kajol’s cheeky retort has made it all the more fun.
