  In this article, we define a faithful quantifiers of bipartite quantum
correlation, namely geometric version of quantum discord using affinity based
metric. It is shown that the newly-minted measure resolves the local ancilla
problem of Hilbert-Schmidt measures. Exploiting the notion of affinity-based
discord, we derive Margolus-Levitin (ML) and Mandelstamm-Tamm (MT) bounds for
the quantum speed limit time for the creation and decay of quantum correlation.
The dynamical study suggests that the affinity measure is a better resource
compared to entanglement. Finally, we study the role of quantum correlation on
quantum speed limit.
