A fun moment on social media has grabbed everyone’s attention after a fan compared two actors playing similar roles on screen. The discussion began when a user on X shared a still of Paresh Rawal from the film Uri The Surgical Strike. In the film, he played a character inspired by India’s National Security Advisor. The fan said they liked his performance but joked that the film did not show the character smoking.
Paresh Rawal noticed the post and replied in his own humorous style. He wrote that while his character did not smoke, he did break phones instead, followed by a laughing emoji. His response quickly went viral, with many users praising his sense of humor and timing.
Fans flooded the comments with reactions. One user joked that the phones probably deserved it. Another compared the role to the famous James Bond character, saying that just like different actors have played Bond over the years, multiple actors can bring their own style to such roles. They added that Rawal should feel proud of his performance.
However, not everyone agreed. Some fans felt that R Madhavan, who plays a similar role in the upcoming Dhurandhar film series, did a better job. This sparked a friendly debate online, with people sharing their personal preferences.

The Dhurandhar films follow the story of an Indian spy working in Karachi’s dangerous underworld. The story takes inspiration from real life events like the IC 814 hijacking, the Parliament attack in 2001, and the Mumbai attacks in 2008. The second film continues the journey, focusing on power struggles and efforts to stop a major terror threat.
The film also features a strong cast including Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, and others. Meanwhile, Uri The Surgical Strike remains a fan favorite for its gripping story about India’s military response to a terror attack.
In the end, while fans may debate who did it better, Paresh Rawal’s witty reply has clearly won the moment online.
