Bollywood stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan found themselves at the centre of an unexpected moment during their promotional visit to the Attari-Wagah border in Punjab. Ahead of their upcoming film Udta Teer, the actors attended the iconic Beating Retreat ceremony, but their visit attracted attention for a reason no one had anticipated.
According to media reports, Atif Aslam’s popular rendition of ‘Tajdar-e-Haram’ was played through loudspeakers from the Pakistani side while the actors were interacting with people. The music reportedly became loud enough to drown out parts of their message, and videos of the moment began circulating on social media.
The incident has sparked online discussion, although there has been no independently confirmed explanation establishing why the song was played at that particular moment.
Atif Aslam’s ‘Tajdar-e-Haram’ Steals the Spotlight
The unexpected moment unfolded as Ayushmann and Sara visited the border to promote their upcoming spy comedy, Udta Teer. The actors were attending the Beating Retreat ceremony, a popular daily event that draws visitors to the India-Pakistan border.
Videos shared online reportedly captured Atif Aslam’s rendition of ‘Tajdar-e-Haram’ playing over loudspeakers on the Pakistani side. The song, a well-known qawwali associated with the Sabri Brothers and later performed by Atif Aslam, has a significant following among music lovers in India and Pakistan.
As the music played, the actors’ voices reportedly became difficult to hear. This unusual overlap between a Bollywood promotional appearance and music from across the border quickly became a talking point.
However, claims that the music was deliberately played to disrupt the film promotion should be treated cautiously. While reports described the timing as an interruption, the available accounts do not independently establish the intention behind the music.
Why Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan Visited Wagah
The visit was part of the promotional campaign for Udta Teer, which stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan in the lead roles. The actors travelled to Punjab ahead of the film’s scheduled theatrical release on October 23, 2026.
Their appearance at the Attari-Wagah border brought the film’s publicity campaign to a prominent national location. During the ceremony, the actors interacted with the crowd and joined in the patriotic atmosphere surrounding the flag-lowering event.
The border ceremony is known for its elaborate drills and energetic participation by spectators on both sides. The actors’ visit therefore combined a film promotion with an event that carries considerable symbolic significance for India and Pakistan.
The unexpected music moment added another layer of attention to the appearance, with online discussions focusing on the timing of the song and the actors’ promotional message.
Sara Ali Khan Pays Tribute to BSF Jawans
Away from the viral video, Sara Ali Khan also used social media to express her gratitude to the Border Security Force personnel stationed along the country’s borders.
In an Instagram Story, the actor praised the BSF’s sacrifice and strength, describing it as a source of inspiration. She also shared another message thanking the personnel for their continued service and the security they provide.
Her tribute highlighted the purpose of the visit beyond the film’s promotional activities. For Sara, the appearance was also an opportunity to acknowledge the work of the personnel responsible for guarding the border.
The messages received attention from fans, many of whom appreciated her expression of respect for the security forces.
Ayushmann and Sara Visit the Golden Temple Before the Border Event
Before heading to the Attari-Wagah border, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sara Ali Khan visited Sri Darbar Sahib, popularly known as the Golden Temple, in Amritsar.
The actors sought blessings at the revered Sikh shrine as part of their Punjab visit. Videos and photographs from the visit also circulated online, attracting attention from fans.
The Golden Temple is one of Sikhism’s most important spiritual sites and welcomes visitors from different backgrounds. The actors’ visit added a personal and spiritual dimension to their promotional schedule.
