Triptii Dimri, a rising star in Bollywood, is facing the brunt of brutal online trolling after the release of the new song Mere Mehboob from the upcoming film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. While the track, featuring both Triptii and actor Rajkummar Rao, has garnered some appreciation for its upbeat and sensuous vibe, it has also sparked criticism aimed particularly at Triptii’s dance performance, with netizens calling it “embarrassing.”
The song Mere Mehboob, composed by the popular duo Sachin-Jigar, is a peppy mix of energetic beats and melodies, with vocals by Shilpa Rao and Sachet Tandon. The lyrics, penned by Priya Saraiya, match the sensuous tone of the music. Choreographed by Bollywood’s well-known dance maestro Ganesh Acharya, the video features Triptii and Rajkummar bringing their on-screen chemistry to life with a series of bold and provocative dance moves. Despite the catchy beats and vibrant visuals, certain dance sequences have not been well-received, with one particular moment in the choreography drawing most of the ire.
In a specific segment of the song, Triptii is seen lying on the floor, lifting one leg into the air, and moving it in a cyclic manner before raising her torso and shaking her body. This move, intended to be sensuous, has left many viewers unimpressed. Social media erupted with negative reactions, with trolls targeting both Triptii’s performance and the choreography.
One user on social media wrote, “Triptii is a bad dancer but sack the choreographer! This is an awful job,” placing the blame not just on the actress but on Ganesh Acharya’s choreography. Another commenter harshly remarked, “How do I unsee this!!!” In another sharp critique, a user joked, “Now lightly spray some roach repellent and witness similar steps.” The backlash didn’t stop there; another netizen commented, “Yikes Ganesh,” expressing disappointment in the renowned choreographer. Still, another added, “This cannot be real. Embarrassing for the whole film really, especially the choreographers and those who thought that this would be a good idea.”
