Can anyone ever replace Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon's sizzling chemistry in Chura Ke Dil Mera? This would have been a valid question if asked before Friday, however, after Drew Barrymore and Lilly danced to this epic Bollywood song, we have our doubts. The actresses were at their casual best as they shook a leg to the popular number. What surprised many was when Barrymore lip sings to the song at the end of the video and says, "chali mai chali".
Bollywood buffs were obviously leaping with joy after Lilly Singh shared the video but they were also curiously waiting to see how Akshay and Raveena will react to the video. Well, Khiladi Kumar was quick to take notice of the video. Reacting to the video, he dropped a comment writing, "This is all," followed by a heart emoji.

The video was shared by Lilly on her verified Instagram account. "Finally met @drewbarrymore and she legit stole my heart. Also, didn’t she nail this?! Ugh. A queen. I had an absolute blast on @thedrewbarrymoreshow today. Fun fact, Drew and I met virtually during the pandemic and instantly became textually active friends, BUT this was our first time meeting in person. It was magical and real and she can keep my heart forever," she captioned the post.
