Actor and MLA Nandamuri Balakrishna’s song Dabidi Dibidi, featuring Urvashi Rautela, has become a hot topic for criticism. Released as a party anthem, the song has been accused by netizens of featuring ‘vulgar’ dance moves and disrespecting women.
Age Gap Sparks Debate
Balakrishna, aged 64, starring opposite 30-year-old Urvashi Rautela, has drawn significant backlash. Many viewers found the pairing unnatural and off-putting, further fueling the controversy.
Social Media Outrage
The song has faced a barrage of negative reactions online. Critics have labeled it as promoting indecency, with comments like “cringeworthy” and “uncomfortable to watch” flooding social media platforms. The choreography and the portrayal of women in the song have especially been called out.
Past Controversies Resurface
Balakrishna is no stranger to controversy. His infamous comment from a past audio function—“If I see a woman, I either kiss her or make her pregnant”—has resurfaced, adding to the criticism. These remarks, which drew widespread outrage at the time, are now being brought up again as netizens question the actor’s sensitivity toward women.
Party Anthem or Misstep?
Despite being marketed as a party anthem, Dabidi Dibidi has turned into a public relations headache for Balakrishna. Critics argue that such content damages the reputation of an actor with a significant following and social responsibility.
Support for Women’s Dignity
Women’s rights activists and social media users are calling for accountability, urging Balakrishna to reflect on the impact of his actions and words. Some groups are demanding an apology and corrective measures to ensure that such controversies are avoided in the future.
