Sorry Ayush Sharma, But Akshay Kumar’s ‘Choghada’ Dances Away With the Spotlight
In a twist straight out of a masala movie script, Bollywood has found itself at the heart of yet another dramatic showdown. This time, the battleground isn’t the box office—it’s the dance floor. And the garba beat in question? The much-hyped, much-awaited “Choghada.”
Ayush Sharma, known for his intense screen presence and boy-next-door charm, recently unveiled his version of “Choghada” with thunderous expectations. After all, Ayush made his debut with Loveyatri. The original Choghada Taara had become a Navratri anthem. His latest recreation was meant to be his big comeback track, modern, colorful, and packed with swagger. The destiny and perhaps a better choreographer had other plans.
Akshay Kumar’sKhiladi No.1, the man who juggles 4 films, 6 brand endorsements and still finds time to do surya namaskar at 5 am/ His entry into the song left everyone stunned, Clad in traditional kediyu with modern edge. Akshay dropped his version of the festive number- sleeker, snazzier, and turbocharged with his signature energy.
Within 24 hours of its release, Akshya’s Choghada has clocked 60 million views on YouTube, while Ayush’s version limped behind at 18 million. Social media is as brutal as it is hilarious, making its own verdict known. Memes flooded Instagram, showing Ayush looking teary-eyed while Akshay spun like a Gujarati tornado.
Music critics have chimed in, too. “Ayush’s version is good,” said a reviewer from Bollywood Beats Weekly, “but Akshay’s rendition is electric. He blends tradition and charisma like only a veteran can.” Choreographers too applauded Akshay’s nakhra, his effortless twirls, and the fact that, at 57, he out-garba-ed actors half his age.
Sources close to Sharma say the actor is “disappointed but determined.” While he believed his version would reignite his career, the sudden wave of Akshay’s version left him “blindsided.” An anonymous insider added, “Ayush never expected Akshay to step into the ring with the same song. It feels personal.”
But Bollywood isn’t fair. It’s fierce. And in this musical duel, it’s clear: Akshay Kumar’s “Choghada” didn’t just win the beat, it won the hearts.
As one fan aptly put it on X (formerly Twitter):
“Sorry Ayush Sharma, but this garba belongs to Akshay Kumar now. Aur yeh toh public hai, yeh sab jaanti hai.”
