Mumbai, March 4: The classic comedy film ‘Welcome’ features a painting created by Majnu Bhai, played by Anil Kapoor, which continues to be a viral sensation on social media. However, beyond the humor, this painting carries a profound philosophy, as revealed by Kapoor himself.
Recently, Anil Kapoor appeared on the Holi special episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ hosted by Akshay Kumar. During the show, a fan expressed admiration for both actors, particularly for their film ‘Welcome,’ and inquired about the story behind the iconic painting that depicts a donkey riding a horse.
Anil shared that he still possesses the original painting. He remarked, “People keep making memes about this painting, joking about how strange it is. But there is depth, a story, and seriousness behind it.”
The fan also mentioned that T-shirts featuring the painting are now available in the market. Actress Radhika chimed in, saying she owns one. Anil humorously noted that he earns royalties from these T-shirts, causing Akshay Kumar to burst into laughter.
Explaining the painting’s philosophy, Anil said, “The horse symbolizes activity, hard work, and dedication, while the donkey represents laziness or a lack of effort. The horse does all the hard work, but often the donkey takes the credit. This reflects the boss-employee relationship, where the hard worker receives less while the one above benefits.”
Anil then posed a question to the audience: “Do you consider yourself a horse or a donkey?”
Reflecting on ‘Welcome,’ Anil mentioned, “I first worked with Akshay in ‘Welcome 1.’ He wasn’t in ‘Welcome 2,’ and I was removed from ‘Welcome 3.’ Now, we will reunite for ‘Welcome 4.'”
Directed by Anees Bazmee, Anil Kapoor’s portrayal of Majnu Bhai remains beloved, and the painting adds to the character’s charm. It continues to be a part of meme culture and is cherished as a memorable aspect of Bollywood.
