The 'Khiladi' of Bollywood Akshay Kumar dancing to a loud Bhojpuri beat was probably not something many people expected to see in 2026. But that's exactly what has happened with the song 'Ghis Ghis Ghis', the newly released track from his much awaited movie 'Welcome To The Jungle'.

While Akshay's over-the-top Bhojpuri film star avatar is getting attention, another name drawing curiosity is Akshara Singh, the Bhojpuri actress-singer dancing along with him in the trending song.

'Ghis Ghis Ghis' Brings Bollywood And Bhojpuri Pop Culture Together

The song marks the first collaboration between Akshay Kumar and Bhojpuri actress-singer Akshara Singh. It leans fully into mass-entertainer territory with dramatic dance moves, exaggerated styling, colourful sets, and Bhojpuri-inspired energy.

Akshay reportedly plays a flamboyant Bhojpuri superstar in 'Welcome To The Jungle', and the song doesn't hold back on that idea. His styling, expressions, and choreography are intentionally theatrical, which has led to sharply divided reactions online.

Some viewers are calling it a "full paisa vasool" track that feels designed for weddings and viral reels. Others think the performance borders on caricature. Either way, people are watching it and talking about it.

The track is composed by Vikram Montrose, with vocals by Vikram Montrose and Supriya Pathak, while Abhinav Shekhar has written the lyrics. The film itself is scheduled to release on June 26, 2026.

Who Is Akshara Singh?

For audiences outside the Bhojpuri belt, 'Ghis Ghis Ghis' may feel like an introduction to Akshara Singh. But in Bhojpuri entertainment, she has been a major name for over a decade.

Akshara grew up around performance culture. Her parents, Bipin Singh and Nilima Singh, were associated with Bhojpuri theatre and entertainment, so acting and stage work were already part of her environment from an early age.

She entered Bhojpuri cinema at a young age and made her debut in 2010 opposite Ravi Kishan in 'Satyamev Jayate'. At the time, landing such a high-profile debut was rare for a newcomer, especially in an industry largely driven by male superstars.

Instead of immediately trying to move into Bollywood, Akshara stayed rooted in Bhojpuri commercial cinema and slowly built a loyal audience across Bihar, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand.

The Phase That Changed Akshara Singh's Career

Akshara Singh's popularity grew rapidly between 2016 and 2018, especially through her on-screen pairing with Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh. Their songs and films performed strongly with regional audiences and became a huge part of Bhojpuri pop culture during that period.

Films like 'Satya', 'Tabadala', 'Sarkar Raj', and 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' helped cement her position as one of the biggest female stars in the industry. But acting was only one part of her rise.

Akshara Singh Built A Music Career Too

One reason Akshara Singh stayed commercially relevant is because she expanded beyond films. She started releasing independent songs, devotional music, festive tracks, and live stage performances, creating an identity separate from being "just" a film actress.

That move helped her build a strong online fanbase long before Bhojpuri stars became widely visible on mainstream social media.

Today, her music clips regularly circulate on YouTube, Instagram, and short-video platforms, especially among younger Bhojpuri-speaking audiences.

Reality TV Expanded Akshara Singh's Reach

Akshara later moved into Hindi television and appeared in shows like 'Kaala Teeka' and 'Porus'. But her biggest mainstream visibility came through Bigg Boss OTT in 2021.

The reality show introduced her to viewers who had never followed Bhojpuri cinema before. It also changed how many people viewed Bhojpuri entertainers in general, pushing regional stars further into mainstream digital conversations.

Akshara Singh's Public Image Has Also Been Shaped By Controversy

Akshara Singh's personal and professional fallout with Pawan Singh became one of the most discussed controversies in Bhojpuri entertainment. Over the years, she has spoken publicly about emotional distress and professional challenges connected to that phase of her life.

The situation kept her in headlines, but it also reshaped her public image. Many supporters saw her as someone who continued working and rebuilding her career despite intense scrutiny. That matters in an industry where many actresses disappear after a short run of success.

Why This Akshay Kumar Collaboration Is Significant

The collaboration with Akshay Kumar is being viewed as a crossover moment, not just another film song release.

For Bhojpuri audiences, it feels like one of their biggest female stars stepping into a wider national spotlight. For mainstream Bollywood viewers, it's an introduction to an artist who has already spent years building a strong regional fanbase through films, music, television, and live performances. And judging by the internet reaction today, people are definitely paying attention.
