Hopping onto the trend with impeccable comic timing, Sonakshi captioned their joint reel, “In a parallel universe.” The engaging clip opened with Sonakshi asking Zaheer, “What do you wanna ask?” Without missing a beat, Zaheer replies, “You know exactly how much I love you.” When Sonakshi skeptically responds, “No, then,” Zaheer dramatically pulls out a Melody toffee. Delivering the iconic tagline, he says, “Melody khao, khud jaan jao”. He hilariously places the candy on her shoulder and simply walks away, leaving Sonakshi to jokingly pick it up and pretend to hurl it right back at him.
The reel instantly went viral, winning fans over with the couple's effortless chemistry and infectious humour. The comments section was flooded with laughing emojis and praise. One amused fan wrote, “Zaheer never fails to be Zaheer,” while another added, “Sona your expressions at the end always gets me and Zaheer toh hai hi pareshan karne..” Others chimed in noting, “Melody is trending now,” and “You both are sooo cute, full of entertainment.” One user perfectly summed up their dynamic: “You will never be bored for sure … Full on entertainment in your house without any cost.”
