Urvashi Rautela had been on the receiving end of criticism for her interviews regarding Saif Ali Khan’s incident and her film Daaku Maharaaj, but another reason for the backlash was the dance moves in the song ‘Dabidi Dibidi,’ starring Urvashi and Nandamuri Balakrishna from their recently released film Daaku Maharaaj. While many found the moves funny, a significant chunk of social media called them vulgar. Now, in one of her recent interviews, she has reacted to the backlash.

While speaking with The Hollywood Reporter India, Urvashi Rautela said that the song ‘Dabidi Dibidi’ was choreographed after considering the mindset of Nandamuri Balakrishna’s audience and stated, “When you look at my rehearsal clips, everything went really well. It was like how we usually choreograph for any song. I was working with Master Shekar, with whom I’ve collaborated before—this was my fourth time. So it wasn’t like I was shocked or doing something completely out of the ordinary. During rehearsals, everything was smooth and under control. But honestly, everything happened so suddenly that it’s been hard to assess why people are talking about the choreography in this way. We didn’t realize it would be received like this because, during rehearsals, everything went as planned.”
