In 2026, several Bollywood stars found themselves at the centre of internet trends, with social media users turning their words, expressions and unexpected moments into memes.
From Saif Ali Khan’s “Saifu ko ghee do” to Vidyut Jamwal’s ‘kisi ko toh bhagna chahiye tha, kisi ko toh pakadna chahiye tha, nahi?’ moment, here’s a look at the actors who became unlikely meme favourites
Sharvari became part of an unexpected internet trend after appearing with Alia Bhatt and Samay Raina on India’s Got Latent 2 in June. Their dance to contestant Balram Vishwakarma’s song Chai Ki Tapri Pe became one of the show’s most-shared moments, inspiring reels, memes and AI-generated videos. “Sonam, it’s done bro. Don’t extend this,” Salman wrote in his post. Social media users quickly repurposed the line into humorous posts, drawing references from Bollywood films and everyday situations. Meme creators Sagar (@sagarcasm), Hitesh Yadav and Jay Patil shared their versions.
The show delivered another viral moment in September when comedian Surabhi Vanzara told Samay, “You disturb the entire country”, during an exchange that drew loud cheers from the audience. Salman Khan’s “It’s done bro” became a meme format in July after he appealed to climate activist Sonam Wangchuk to end his hunger strike. The phrase became so widely recognised that Wangchuk was later presented with a T-shirt bearing the line, which he said he wanted to take in a healthy spirit.
Vidyut Jammwal’s video reacting to the shooting incident involving actor Tiger Shroff became meme material in October. I love you, I am your biggest fan, what is this, guys? Hum log karte hain, aap bhi toh kuch karo yaar. The post poked fun at the noticeable difference in his appearance, with users joking about the transformation and asking whether the pictures were AI-generated. It tapped into the online chatter around Sohail’s weight loss, which had attracted comments and speculation about how he achieved his slimmer appearance. Some users even questioned whether he had used Ozempic, turning his transformation into another talking point on social media.
His remarks were soon used in parody videos, including an AI-generated clip of Barcelona coach Hansi Flick delivering Vidyut’s lines as a team talk after the club lost to Real Madrid on October 25.
Questioning why those present at the spot had not chased the attackers, he said, “itne saare fans the vahan, kisi ko toh bhagna chahiye tha, kisi ko toh pakadna chahiye tha, nahi? Vidyut reacted with a laughing comment, while fans called it the “best use of AI” and one wrote, “This reel made me laugh while I was crying. Sohail Khan also became part of the Gowardhan Ghee meme trend after Mirchi Plus shared a collage of the actor captioned “10 days ago” and “Ghee refill”.
