Anupam Kher joins viral 'Mere Mehboob' trend with Boman Irani and Ranvir Shorey
Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher has become the latest celebrity to jump on the viral "Mere Mehboob" trend that emerged following the recent CJP protest. In a video shared on social media, Kher was joined by actors Boman Irani and Ranvir Shorey, with the trio recreating the now-popular trend in a humorous style.
The video quickly garnered thousands of views and reactions, with many users applauding the actors' chemistry and comic timing. Their playful take on the trend added to its growing popularity across platforms, where countless creators have been posting their own versions.
Trend continues to dominate social media
The "Mere Mehboob" trend first gained momentum after a video from the CJP protest went viral, spawning memes, parody clips and recreations. What began as a protest-related moment has since evolved into a wider internet trend, attracting participation from influencers, content creators and now film personalities.
Kher's latest video further amplified the trend, with fans sharing and reposting the clip across social media.
Mixed reactions online
While many users enjoyed the actors' humorous rendition, others questioned whether a trend originating from a politically charged protest should be turned into entertainment content.
Some social media users described the video as a light-hearted take on a viral moment, while critics argued that it trivialised the context from which the trend emerged. The differing reactions reflected the broader debate over how political moments increasingly transform into internet memes and pop culture content.
Celebrities and viral culture
The participation of established actors such as Anupam Kher, Boman Irani and Ranvir Shorey highlights how quickly social media trends can cross over into mainstream entertainment. Celebrity engagement often gives viral content a wider audience, extending its reach well beyond its original context.
As the "Mere Mehboob" trend continues to circulate online, Kher's video has added another chapter to one of the internet's most talked-about viral moments in recent weeks.
