She will soon be seen in the singer-rapper\u2019s new music video, Chillgum, from his latest album 51 Glorious Days. On Thursday, a video teaser of the upcoming music video was released, which featured <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/malaika-arora\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Malaika<\/a> in a series of cut-out, glittery dresses.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">However, soon after the teaser was shared, netizens expressed disappointment with it and slammed the Bollywood diva. While some argued that the song does not look sexy but vulgar, others urged the makers to delete it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">\u201cIt\u2019s because she can\u2019t do it properly and that\u2019s why it seems vulgar. Same thing happened with Tripti in mere mehboob song. First these choreographers come up with the most sleaziest in your face sexual\/vulgar moves and then if an actress can\u2019t pull it off ( because let\u2019s be real not everyone can dance great ) they get shamed online,&#8221; one of the users wrote.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">\u201cI request pls remove this video,&#8221; added another. \u201cPlease start behaving, Malaika,&#8221; added another. Some other users even called the teaser \u201ccringe&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cThe problem is that it isn\u2019t even sexy or attractive. It\u2019s just vulgar. You can mostly get away with frisky behaviour and performances if you know how to make it actually look good. Just take a look at old projects Malaika was in compared to this one,&#8221; wrote another.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">However, despite the criticism, Mahhi Vij came out in support of Malaika Arora. She took to the comments section of the music video teaser and wrote, \u201cHottest woman\u2764\ufe0fwhistle&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Neither Honey Singh nor Malaika Arora has reacted to the criticism as of now. The music video is scheduled to be released on Saturday, November 8.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Over the years, Malaika Arora has featured in several hot dance numbers, including Chaiyya Chaiyya, Munni Badnaam Hui, Anarkali Disco Chali and Maahi Ve.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Recently, Malaika also opened up about being a part of item songs when she told THR India, \u201cEarlier, they were mostly about glamour and spectacle, often detached from a woman\u2019s individuality. Today, filmmakers are more conscious\u2026 they integrate these numbers into stories with stronger character context. It\u2019s less about being provocative and more about performance and presence. I see it as an evolution where women can own their space.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chirag Sehgal\" title=\"Chirag Sehgal\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-05-at-13.17.10-2025-08-d1b003764b221e1094919969068b8f2b-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-sehgal-21023.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chirag Sehgal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Sehgal works as a Senior Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18.com.
