Bollywood Diwali parties are no longer only about the guest list. They are also a chance to promote upcoming films, and Ayushmann Khurrana used his party to do both.

On Instagram, the Bala actor posted a video of himself dancing with Rajkummar Rao at the Diwali party he and his wife, Tahira Kashyap, hosted at their Mumbai home. The two danced to the title track of Ayushmann's upcoming film Yeh Prem Mol Liya. Aparshakti Khurana and Abhishek Banerjee joined them partway through, and the clip turned into a fun group moment.

With the video, Ayushmann wrote, "Prem waali Diwali sab ke saath #YehPremMolLiya in theatres on 27th Nov 2026."

The film releases in a little over three weeks, and a casual party clip with well-known faces dancing to its title song works as easy, natural promotion. Fans have also seen it as a reunion of the Bareilly Ki Barfi actors.

A friendship that goes back to Bareilly Ki Barfi

Ayushmann and Rajkummar share a close bond built on mutual admiration and respect. They worked together in the 2017 romantic comedy-drama Bareilly Ki Barfi, which also starred Kriti Sanon. The film was praised by critics and did well at the box office, and the two actors' scenes together are still among its best-loved parts.

Both actors became known for playing ordinary, small-town characters in middle-of-the-road films, and for a while they were often seen as competitors. Seeing them dance together at a festive party shows a friendly side of Bollywood that fans rarely get to see.

Inside the celebrations

Tahira also shared clips from the evening on Instagram. One showed her and Ayushmann posing with Karan Johar, Twinkle Khanna, Shilpa Shetty and designer Manish Malhotra. In another, Bhumi Pednekar joined Tahira on the dance floor. Sara Ali Khan, Akash Kaushik and Arjun Kapoor were also among the guests.

In her caption, Tahira wrote, "Let there be love and light Diwali celebrations for @ayushmannk and me have always been with our family and friends! Mumbai has become home, and so our friends are our extended family here! We slept at 5 am and danced till our feet hurt...the best feeling."

Her note about Mumbai becoming home, with friends as extended family, connects with many people who have moved to the city for work. Ayushmann and Tahira came to Mumbai from Chandigarh, and they have often spoken about how much their friends in the industry mean to them.

What's next

With 27 November coming up, the Yeh Prem Mol Liya promotions are expected to pick up. If the response to the dance clip is any sign, the title track is already getting attention.
