Actress Sonakshi Sinha recreated a scene from her debut movie Dabangg with husband Zaheer Iqbal, as the 2010 action drama completed 15 years of release on Wednesday.

In the video, Zaheer steps into the shoes of Inspector Chulbul Pandey — a role essayed by Salman Khan in the film — offering Sonakshi Sinha some money. He also delivers one of the film’s iconic dialogues, “Pyaar se de rahe hai rakh lo, warna thappar marke bhi de sakte hai.”
