'Sakina' is back in the spotlight, thanks to one video
Ameesha Patel — forever remembered as Gadar's Sakina — is the talk of the town again, and this time the reason isn't a film but a post from popular Pakistani actor Imran Abbas. To mark Ameesha's birthday, Imran shared a video shot in a distinctly romantic style and warmly wished her, calling her his 'besti'. The moment the clip surfaced, fan reactions poured in and the easy chemistry between the two grabbed everyone's attention. What makes it notable is that this is hardly the first time their friendship has made headlines — an earlier clip had already fuelled dating speculation around the pair.
Posted on June 9, with a 'Kranti' chartbuster
Imran Abbas put up the video on June 9, the day of Ameesha Patel's birthday. In the clip, the two stars appear in stylish form, singing and performing 'Dil Mein Dard Sa Jaga Hai', the superhit track from Ameesha's 2002 film 'Kranti'. Captioning the post, Imran wrote, 'Happy Birthday to my Besti'. Although a few days have passed since the birthday, the video continues to spread rapidly across social media.
A mixed bag of fan reactions
Seeing the bond the two share on screen, users have flooded the post with comments. Some have dubbed them a 'cute jodi', while others have expressed a wish to see the duo together in a film or project. A section of viewers, however, voiced their displeasure. Amid all this chatter, speculation about the relationship between the two has flared up once more.
Rumours about the pair are nothing new
This isn't the first instance of their closeness drawing attention. Earlier, a video from an event in Bahrain had also gone widely viral on social media. In a past interview with TrendKia, Ameesha Patel had flatly rejected such rumours, brushing them off as plain 'nonsense'. She had made it clear: 'We've known each other for many years, from the time we studied together at a university in America. He's a very good friend of mine, and since we are both single, people start spreading false rumours about our marriage.'
Imran's innings in Bollywood
Imran Abbas is a well-known name in Pakistan and enjoys a sizeable following in India too. In Hindi cinema, he has worked alongside Bipasha Basu in 'Creature 3D' and with Ranbir Kapoor in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'.
