Pakistani Actor Adnani Siddiqui Slams A Bollywood Actress

Advertisment

The new released song Akhiyaan De Kol from Kriti Sanon’s new Netflix movie Do Patti has stirred up some controversy. The lyrics are a direct lift of the folk tune originally performed by the late Pakistani luminary Reshma.

Controversy escalated when Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui criticised the makers for this record and termed it as a "sordid ripoff". The actor went to social media to post his grievances. He used X what was formerly called twitter. He wrote a post along with the picture of Kriti from the song they shot together. Urging can be appreciated, but crushing an original by an icon, imitating is the inaccurate way. Please respect Reshma jee and her contributions, you are not allowed to disrespect those and treat them like this. Instead of rehashing what a sick and mean world she was living in, her music got subjected to an exploitative ripoff, another cheap copy, he wrote.

The new song known as Akhiyaan De Kol has caused quite an uproar. The recreation of folk ballad sung by Reshma has not received positive responses. On the same post, one person commented, ‘Thanks for saying this.’ Oh what a vulgar way to pay homage to the legend that Reshma ji is. Thank you.”

Another user said “Music will never be heard by those who are not dancing”, with one saying “Then please don’t sell your songs to Indian labels or specify in your contracts that these songs will not be played in Indian movies.” One user accused her of looking like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Many users of social media have described some resemblance of Kriti’s hook-step and Aishwarya’s dance on the peppy Big Banner chartbuster hit track Crazy Kiya Re from Dhoom 2 released in 2006.

The film will be released on Netflix on October 25.
