 "Urvashi Rautela breaks silence on massive backlash over Dabidi Dibidi steps: 'Everything happened so suddenly that...'")
Urvashi Rautela and Nandamuri Balakrishna’s bold steps in Daaku Maharaaj’s song Dabidi Dibidi garnered severe backlash from audiences on social media. In the track, Nadamuri Balakrishna is seen hitting her belly button on beats and later on on the rear. The choreography was termed ‘vulgar’ and ‘cringe’ by netizens on social media.
Now, the actress has reacted to the audience’s criticism and said that the song is made for Balayya fans and every lyric is crafted according to their mindset.
“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 realise it would be received like this because, during rehearsals, everything went as planned," said Urvashi to The Hollywood Reporter India.
