Shahid Kapoor’s recent release “Jersey” may have bombed at the box-office as it was not able to stand against the competition posed by Yash starrer “KGF 2” but he is still one of the most loved actors of Bollywood.
Shahid made his debut in 2003 with “Ishq Vishk” which was directed by Ken Ghosh and Amrita Rao played the female lead in the movie. Though the film didn’t receive much success on its release, it garnered a lot of love and appreciation of audiences later on and Shahid Kapoor also won the Filmfare Award for the Best Male Debut for his role.
The flick was liked especially by youngsters and it won’t be wrong to say that still today many movie lovers won’t mind watching it if they get a chance. However, today we are going to tell you something strange about “Ishq Vishk” that you must not have noticed earlier. Can you believe that one character of the movie who got featured in many scenes had only one dialogue to say in every scene?
Yes, you read it right! We are talking about Dimpy, a Sikh who is a part of friends’ group of Shahid and he utters only one dialogue, “Kya baat kar raha hai yaar?”
The character was played by Damandeep Singh Baggan and his dialogue throughout the movie remained the same irrespective of the situation.
A Twitter handle shed light on this weird fact starting with this tweet,
“Ishq Vishk (2003) is one of the first movies I watched like an obsession. And while it is easy to dismiss it as another cliched college romance, there is a lot more to it. For starters, Damandeep Singh Baggan plays a cliched Sardar character called ‘Dimpy’.”

After this tweet, the Twitter user published a thread on this subject with video clips from the movie:
I know this was a common trope in Bollywood films but this is where it gets interesting. Dimpy has only one line in the entire movie! He talks at multiple points during the movie but always uses the line "Kya baat kar raha hai yaar?" (with small tweaks occasionally) pic.twitter.com/AA23EJcQ4t

In some scenes, other characters also acknowledge Dimpy's line. pic.twitter.com/HKNB9pF9dq

There are also scenes that are so unnecessary that it seems like Ken Ghosh put them intentionally for someone to make a Twitter thread out of it. pic.twitter.com/94BockpWFs

In one scene Dimpy is about to actually speak but in the end, has to suffice with his usual line. pic.twitter.com/0sXrWinwOo

Imagine you are going on a trip with your friends and you're really excited about it. Good, now convey it using "Kya baat kar raha hai". Most of us would fail but Dimpy pulls it off. pic.twitter.com/1KH0EZ6NcT

Even in an argument where you can barely hear him, Dimpy doesn't break character. pic.twitter.com/AiLdrxfDKS

When Rajeev is clearly being a dick, it is Dimpy and his magical line that explains the absurdity of his demand. pic.twitter.com/eHKtiEOdi7

Even after this when Rajeev fakes an injury, only Dimpy is actually concerned about him. How does he show his concern? You guessed it… pic.twitter.com/CCYL4TZy95

Dimpy's one true love is Alisha. So when his heart shatters into a million pieces, this is all he can say. pic.twitter.com/nwflbs5CaZ

But Dimpy also knows that Rajeev is an idiot who would fuck things up sooner or later, so he never gives up. If they ever make a sequel, I hope it's about Dimpy and Alisha. pic.twitter.com/L5aeVqhQ2O

Saving the best for the last, they also gave a song to Dimpy. He dances his heart out with Shahid but what line does he lip-sync to in the song? I think everyone now knows the answer. pic.twitter.com/Ggc0JI0XoK
