Shehnaaz Gill certainly had an exciting year in 2023, making waves with her Bollywood debut and leaving a mark with her performances. Fans were thrilled to see her in the trailer for Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, and the release of the new song “Sajna Ve Sajna” seems to have sparked a mixed reaction.
While fans appreciated Shehnaaz’s sultry look and her expressions, many felt that the reboot version of Kareena Kapoor’s iconic track from the 2004 film Chameli didn’t live up to expectations. Some viewers even favored Shehnaaz’s performance over Triptii Dimri’s earlier song in the movie, but a segment of the audience criticized the dance execution, comparing it unfavorably to Kareena’s original. The consensus seemed to be that while Shehnaaz’s presence was appreciated, the overall impact of the reboot fell short for many, especially in terms of choreography and maintaining the essence of the original.
In the music video, Shehnaaz’s vibrant look in the electric blue outfit and her chemistry with Rajkummar Rao showcased her in a fresh light, which fans appreciated. However, it appears that some viewers felt disappointed, especially in comparison to the original song from Chameli. The criticisms around her dance skills highlight the high expectations set by past performances, particularly those of Kareena Kapoor.
While some fans expressed enthusiasm about Shehnaaz’s expressions and presence, others were vocal about their dissatisfaction with the choreography and execution. It’s clear that she’s making strides in her career, but the comparisons to established stars like Kareena certainly set a high bar. As Shehnaaz continues to grow in the industry, it will be interesting to see how she evolves and addresses these critiques in future projects!
