From Veer Pahariya’s dance step to Khushi Kapoor's neck moments, these Bollywood moments ruled the internet and phones in 2025.
In 2025, Bollywood did not just rule cinema screens; it ruled phone screens too. From awkward reactions to unexpected moves, several stars found themselves turning into viral memes overnight. These moments were not planned promotions. They were raw and funny, and that’s why the internet could not stop sharing. As the year wraps up, here’s a look at five Bollywood stars whose moments became meme history in 2025.

Veer Pahariya

Veer Pahariya made his long-awaited Bollywood debut in 2025 with Sky Force, starring alongside Sara Ali Khan, Akshay Kumar, and Nimrit Kaur. While the film performed well at the box office, it was not the story or action that made Veer trend online. His unusual “kicking” dance step in the song Rang went viral across platforms.

Creators, influencers, and fans recreated the move endlessly. The trend grew so big that Veer himself leaned into it by recreating the step for Swiggy Instamart and boAt ads.

Just as the year was drawing to a close, another Veer Pahariya moment took over the internet. A viral clip from AP Dhillon’s Mumbai concert in December showed his girlfriend and actor Tara Sutaria hugging the singer and receiving a cheek kiss. Veer’s visible reaction in the crowd instantly turned into meme gold, ending his year with yet another viral moment.

Khushi Kapoor

Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor’s Netflix film Nadaaniyan, released on March 7, 2025, faced harsh criticism soon after its debut. Backed by Karan Johar, the film became meme material due to its writing, dialogues, and performances by the actors.

However, one unexpected detail stole the spotlight. Viewers noticed Khushi Kapoor’s exaggerated neck movements during scenes. Social media users zoomed in, clipped moments, and shared jokes across Instagram, X, and Reddit.

Arjun Kapoor

Arjun Kapoor became one of India’s most searched meme names in 2025, thanks to a clip from the past. A video from a 2017 Half Girlfriend press conference resurfaced, where Arjun sharply turned to a journalist and said, “Tune bola?”

The clip exploded online and became Google’s top trending meme of the year in India. Another version followed, edited with the Punjabi song Underworld mein jigra yaara ke naam ka. Though Arjun was last seen in Singham Again, it was these old interview moments that once again put him at the centre of internet humour.

Palash Muchhal

Music composer Palash Muchhal became a viral internet figure in 2025 after alleged leaked chat screenshots surfaced online. The messages, widely shared on Reddit and X, allegedly showed him chatting with a woman named Mary D’Costa between May and July 2025, while he was in a relationship with cricketer Smriti Mandhana and had proposed marriage to her in November.

Just a day before the wedding, reports claimed the marriage was called off after Mandhana discovered him cheating with a wedding choreographer. What truly happened was never officially confirmed, but the internet quickly filled in the gaps with its own theories, turning Palash into one of the year’s biggest meme subjects.

Ranveer Singh

Ranveer Singh’s film Dhurandhar became an unexpected meme factory in 2025. His dramatic entry scene led to the viral “First Day as a Spy” trend. Creators imagined Indian spies failing missions due to everyday desi habits. Clips from the film were remixed with voiceovers, jokes, and reaction videos.

The memes travelled far beyond movie promotion, making espionage funny and relatable. The trend proved once again that Ranveer’s screen energy easily turns into viral content.

These viral clips turned Bollywood stars into memes in the most unexpected ways.
