Diljit Dosanjh’s latest single \u2018Kufar,\u2019 featuring Manushi Chhillar, has taken the Internet by storm, but not without sparking controversy. The song’s alleged \u2018vulgar\u2019 leg step has raised eyebrows, with many accusing the duo of objectification. However, the choreographers behind the song, Shazia Samji and Piyush Bhagat, are standing firm, claiming they were briefed to deliver a \u2018sexy\u2019 song.<\/p>\n
The controversy surrounds a particular scene in the song where Diljit Dosanjh is seen standing behind a dancer, who lifts her leg to the line \u2018jannat ke darwaaze kudiye\u2019. Many have criticised the move, calling it \u2018blatant objectification\u2019.<\/p>\n
However, the choreographers argue that the scene was meant to be sensual and was well within the boundaries of artistic expression.<\/p>\n

Shazia Samji and Piyush Bhagat maintain that the song’s hook step was designed to be attention-grabbing and that both Diljit Dosanjh and Manushi Chhillar were aware of the choreography. “It’s teamwork,” Piyush said. “When you make the concept, you’re arranging the steps and shooting for it, everyone knows what’s happening from the DOP, the star, to the dancers, everyone on the set is aware. I think it was meant to happen.”<\/p>\n
