Now, he’s done it again — this time winning hearts with an impromptu bhangra at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), and fans can’t get enough of his infectious energy.

On Saturday, IFFM shared a video from the Remitly IFFM Dance Competition featuring Jaideep Ahlawat, Malaika Arora, and casting director Mukesh Chhabra on stage learning bhangra moves. The clip shows Mukesh and Malaika following the lead of a dancer, trying out the steps, until Jaideep jumped in, effortlessly stealing the show with his spontaneous energy and flawless moves. Malaika, visibly impressed, was seen cheering and clapping for him, while the crowd erupted into chants of “Once more!” at the end.

Fans couldn’t get enough of Jaideep’s moves. One comment read, “Bhai, I didn’t even notice Malaika until the end.” Another wrote, “Jaideep rock, Malaika shocked.” A fan gushed, “The way you were standing and then said ‘Now I’ll do’ 🤩🔥 waah waah waah waah.” Another remarked, “He is such a vibe. We need to get him more dancing songs.” One more added, “Sick moves. Love him!”

Meanwhile, Jaideep was honoured with the Best Actor – Web Series award for his performance as Inspector Hathiram Chaudhary in Paatal Lok Season 2 at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne 2025.
