The promotional teaser offers a glimpse of the duo engaging in a lively discussion, sharing laughs, and exploring their common interests. During their conversation about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, Akshay, known among everyone for his disciplined life, shares the inspiration behind his well-balanced and health-conscious approach.

He shares, "We all used to wake up early for school. Somewhere along the line, it became trendy to sleep in. Waking up early has become a habit and I enjoy it as I cherish those quiet two hours in the morning. I don't jump into exercise right away; I enjoy lazing around at home first."

He further continues, "I have always been a sports enthusiast and suggest everyone to have at least one sport in their life to keep them alive. My dad, a wrestler for Punjab and an army man, used to encourage me by calling the boys in my neighborhood who were healthy or bigger than me and made me practice wrestling with them. He'd offer Cadbury chocolates to us as prizes. Despite facing older opponents, I enjoyed the challenge as dad always taught us new tricks."

Watch Akshay and Shikhar discuss more about their personal lives, as the Punjabi duo bring the house down in the first episode of Dhawan Karenge only on JioCinema Premium at Rs 29/month.
