Know why Raaj Kumar's dialogue from 'Saudagar' going viral
Afghanistan: A video featuring US President Joe Biden is going viral on social media. This clip is from the 1991 Bollywood film 'Saudagar', featuring the President.
Here's why!
Biden's recent warning to the Kabul blast conspirators echoes a dialogue from the film almost word for word, except in English. In the clip, Biden says: “We’ll respond with force and precision at our time, at the place we choose, at the moment of our choosing". In comparison, the actor in the Bollywood film, Raaj Kumar, says, “Hum tumhe marenge, aur zaroor marenge, lekin wo banduk bhi humari hogi, goli bhi humari hogi aur waqt bhi humara hoga“.

On Friday, Joe Biden said any attack by the Taliban on American forces or attempts to disrupt evacuation operations at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan would invite a “swift and forceful response".
Biden said his administration was keeping a “laser focus on the counterterrorism mission", along with close coordination with allies in the region.
He said the US had already evacuated more than 18,000 persons since July and approximately 13,000 since its military airlift began on August 14.
