Akshara Singh channels her inner Urmila Matondkar in an empty gym
Mumbai, June 4
Bhojpuri actress Akshara Singh made the most of an empty gym as she channeled her inner Urmila Matondkar grooving to the track "Aa Hi Jaiye" from the 2001 crime drama film "Lajja".
Akshara , who will be seen dancing with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar in the number "Ghis Ghis Ghis" from "Welcome To The Jungle", shared a video of herself dancing to number originally crooned by Anuradha Sriram.
"Gym me koi nahi hai In my zone #aksharasingh," she wrote as the caption.
"Lajja" was directed by Rajkumar Santoshi. The film was based on the plight of women and feminism in India. It satirizes the honour with which women are placed in society and the restrictions imposed on them.

She was also seen in playing the role of Gandhari in the Indian historical epic Suryaputra Karn and Kadika for the historical show Porus.
Talking about her upcoming high-octane Bollywood-Bhojpuri song "Ghis Ghis Ghis" from 'Welcome to the Jungle', the track is sung by Vikram Montrose and Supriya Pathak. The lyrics are by Abhinav Shekhar.
"Welcome To The Jungle" is directed by Ahmed Khan.

Honestly, I love that she's doing something fun and creative with her time. But I wish articles about Indian actresses focused more on their work than just 'channeling' old Bollywood hits. Still, nice to see joy and energy. 🌟
Urmila Matondkar's songs are timeless! Akshara ne bohot accha perform kiya hai. Excited for her song with Akshay Kumar in 'Welcome To The Jungle'! That star cast is insane - Sanjay Dutt, Paresh Rawal, Johnny Lever... full entertainment package aane wala hai! 🔥
Interesting choice of song - "Aa Hi Jaiye" is such a soulful track. Never thought I'd see a gym dance to it! Akshara has great energy. The article mentions 'Lajja' was about women's plight - that's a powerful film. Nice to see her bringing some lightness. 👏
Bhojpuri industry se Bollywood tak ka safar - truly inspiring! Akshara has worked so hard from small roles in TV serials like 'Suryaputra Karn' to now dancing with Akshay Kumar. That's the growth we love to see. Bas thoda aur dance practice karo, but overall mast! 💃
Gym mein bhi dance? Thoda zyada hi Bollywood flavor hai. But okay, she is having fun. The real news is how many celebs are in 'Welcome To The Jungle' - it's like a mega cast reunion. Hope the movie is as entertaining as the song! 😎
