Sachin Tendulkar gave his fitness session a Bollywood twist as the cricket legend recreated Dharmendra's iconic Sholay moment during a Pilates workout with friends.
Tendulkar shared a video from the session on social media, showing himself and his friends taking part in a Pilates routine before the former India captain broke into the famous "Basanti inn kutto ke samne mat nachna" dialogue.
The unexpected reference left fans amused and quickly became the highlight of the video.
Tendulkar appeared to channel Dharmendra's character from the 1975 Bollywood classic Sholay while striking a pose during the workout.
The cricket great then delivered the memorable dialogue, adding a comic twist to an otherwise routine Pilates session.

Tendulkar captioned the post by joking about adding Pilates to the list of activities he enjoys with his friends.
He also congratulated the team behind the studio for completing its first year and praised his daughter Sara Tendulkar for creating what he described as "a space worth stretching for".
Sara Tendulkar runs a Pilates studio in Mumbai's Andheri area, which recently marked its first anniversary.
Sachin's post celebrated the milestone while giving his followers a glimpse into the fitness space and his own workout routine.
The former India captain has remained active since retiring from international cricket, frequently sharing glimpses of his fitness sessions and life away from the game.
However, it was his unexpected Sholay reference that stole the show this time, with Tendulkar's Dharmendra-inspired performance giving fans a rather entertaining break from his usual fitness content.
