Aneet Padda faces controversy over viral video singing Urdu poem.
Saiyaara Star Aneet Padda in Controversy Over Viral Urdu Poem VideoMumbai:
After making a sparkling debut in Saiyaara alongside Ahaan Panday in July this year, actress Aneet Padda has been steadily making waves in the showbiz world. Fans have been eager to know more about her upcoming projects and personal life, and she has frequently been in the headlines. But this time, she is making news for a reason she likely did not anticipate.
A video of Aneet singing the famous Urdu poem “Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua” like a song recently resurfaced and went viral on social media, stirring mixed reactions online. One Instagram user commented, “Disappointed by Aneet,” reflecting the frustration felt by some viewers.
Several social media users accused her of “mocking” or “disrespecting” Muslim sentiments, claiming that the performance was inappropriate. At the same time, many others came to her defense, pointing out that the piece is an Urdu poem written by Muhammad Iqbal in 1902. It is not a religious naat or prayer exclusive to Islam but is widely recited in school assemblies across Pakistan and some Urdu-medium institutions in India. Supporters argued that her rendition was a creative interpretation, not intended to hurt anyone’s beliefs.
The incident highlights the delicate balance that public figures often have to maintain when engaging with cultural or historical content, especially in the age of social media where every clip can reach millions in a matter of hours.
Career Moves Amid ControversyProfessionally, Aneet Padda is far from slowing down. She is reportedly preparing for her next big project, Shakti Shalini, which is set to be the next chapter in Dinesh Vijan’s popular horror-comedy universe. Sources indicate that Aneet has already completed her look test for the film, with Aditya Sarpotdar, known for his work on Munjya, likely to direct the project.
Despite the current controversy, Aneet seems focused on her craft and continuing to carve a niche for herself in the competitive film industry. Her debut in Saiyaara was praised for its freshness and charm, and fans are eagerly awaiting her next performance, hoping to see her versatility as an actress shine through.
In the fast-paced world of showbiz, controversies can come and go, but talent and professionalism often leave a lasting impression. For Aneet, this episode is just a temporary hiccup on her journey, as she moves forward with new projects and aspirations.
