Bollywood star Malaika Arora is all set to appear in Yo Yo Honey Singh’s upcoming music video Chillgum, from his album 51 Glorious Days. A new teaser released on November 7 created a huge buzz online but not for the reasons the makers may have hoped. Instead, Malaika faced strong backlash for her dance moves, which many netizens called ‘vulgar’ and ‘unattractive.’

Netizens React Strongly

A photo of Malaika and Honey Singh from the set went viral on Reddit, showing her with her tongue out while appearing to twerk close to him. This immediately drew sharp reactions, with users calling the visuals ‘cringe’ and ’embarrassing.’

Some netizens compared this performance to her earlier work, saying Malaika has delivered iconic item numbers before but this one ‘missed the mark.’

One user wrote: “It looks vulgar because she can’t pull it off properly. Not everyone is a great dancer, and when the choreography itself is sleazy, it becomes worse.” Another commenter brought up better examples: “Look at Sunidhi Chauhan’s Aankh. Sunidhi and Sanya Malhotra pulled off great moves without looking forced.” Others felt the issue wasn’t boldness but execution: “The problem is that it’s not sexy or stylish. It just looks awkward. Malaika has done bold performances before, but this one doesn’t land.”

As of now, Malaika Arora has not responded to the criticism or the ongoing conversations around the teaser.
