It’s not just the beats and nostalgia of Saat Samundar Paar that appears to have knocked Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri off balance. Now, a video of Kartik grooving to Salman Khan’s iconic Saajanji Ghar Aaye in the film has surfaced on social media, and the internet is not impressed.

Kartik and Ananya’s Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri hit theatres on Thursday, on Christmas. Soon after audiences caught the initial shows, several clips from the film began surfacing across social media platforms.
One video showed Kartik dancing on to a song made famous by Salman Khan: Saajanji Ghar Aaye from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. The original song was picturised on actors Salman Khan and Kajol. In the film, Kartik is first seen making an entry at a function to the song, before being joined by Ananya. The duo dance together on the track.
