We're sure you'd be wondering why Rahul Khanna suddenly started trending. You aren't alone. Twitterati, too, were as puzzled.
Confused Twitter users started asking why the actor was trending. Such was the case that he trended more because no one knew why he was trending!

Some mentioned how "Who is Rahul Khanna" should be the trend instead!
'Who is Rahul Khanna' will trend soon.
— Sag*r*asm (@sagarcasm) June 8, 2016
I think the Trend should be Who is Rahul Khanna ??
— DIVYA (@theCandidDiva) June 8, 2016
On digging further, it became apparent that the real reason why Rahul Khanna is trending is because some users discovered his habit of replying to direct messages (DMs).
For example, he received and accepted a wedding proposal in 2013:
I ask Rahul khanna to marry me! and this is what he replies! #bestdayever man! thank you @R_Khanna pic.twitter.com/W9GDc3vv
— Samira Lavekar (@clueless_samira) January 10, 2013
A user replied to the three-year-old tweet and that apparently triggered the trend.
.@clueless_samira Ya, thats ok! But you didnt answer his proposal! Are you ready? @Madan_Chikna @R_Khanna
— Shaktimaan (@iAtulB) June 8, 2016
And, apparently, Rahul Khanna didn't message only women.
lol all you naive ladies. Rahul Khanna has DM'd me too :D
— scaryhairyman (@scaryhairyman) June 8, 2016
And for all those who have been asking who Rahul Khanna is, these Twitter users have some apt responses:
People don't know who Rahul Khanna is.. 😐 seriously guys, stop watching movies like Dilwale & start watching movies like 'Earth 1947' .. 😍
— Stuti Jain (@StutiJain1) June 8, 2016
People who are asking 'Who is Rahul Khanna?' You realise how obviously wannabe you sound right?
— अकड (@24Yupp) June 8, 2016
Rahul Khanna, son of Vinod Khanna and brother of Akshaye Khanna, is also an active user of social media. We wonder what he has to say on this topic! We'll have to wait and watch!
