News Topical, Digital Desk : Bollywood star Malaika Arora has once again captured the attention of audiences. This time, her bold moves in the song "Chilgum" from her new album "51 Glorious Days" with rapper-singer Honey Singh have become the talk of the town. Honey Singh has added a Bhojpuri touch to this new song, in which Malaika Arora has showcased her bold moves.
Malaika's moves were called obscene.
Some viewers loved the song, but most trolled Malaika for performing such moves at the age of 52. Many social media users criticized the choreography, calling it "vulgar" and "forced," and said it lacked the flair Malaika once brought to her item numbers.
The controversy began when a photo from the music video went viral on Reddit. In the photo, Malaika was seen dancing close to Honey Singh with her tongue out. Although the pose was intended as a joke, it became the center of discussion online. Netizens accused the video of crossing the line of boldness.
Actress trolled on social media
Fans argued that Chilgam tried hard to recreate the true charm of 90s Hindi pop and item numbers, but failed. One user wrote, “Because she can't do it right, it looks vulgar. First, these choreographers come up with the worst moves, and when the actresses can't do them, they get shamed online.”
Another comment read, "Sunidhi Chauhan's 'Aankh' is an example of a good item song, with Sanya Malhotra giving a powerful and graceful performance. This song feels a bit awkward and forced." One user said, "The problem is that it's neither sexy nor catchy. It's just vulgar. Just compare it to Malaika's earlier work."
Malaika Arora has long been synonymous with glamour and dance in Hindi cinema. From Chaiyya Chaiyya to Munni Badnaam Hui, her screen presence has always maintained a balance. This is why fans found Chilgam odd, with many feeling it didn't align with the grace she's known for.
Malaika has not yet responded to the criticism, nor has Honey Singh commented on the controversy. The music for "Chilgum" is composed by Yo Yo Honey Singh, and the lyrics are written by Homi Dilliwala, Nanku, and Arjun Ajnabee. The music video is directed by Mihir Gulati.
