Ananya Panday has become the center of a social media uproar following her performance of Bharatanatyam in the film 'Chand Mera Dil.' Clips of her dance, which features a fusion style, have gone viral, prompting widespread criticism from netizens who accuse her of 'butchering' the classical dance form. Many users expressed their disappointment, with comments highlighting her stiff movements and suggesting that AI could perform better. Notably, Congress spokesperson Dr. Shama Mohamed voiced her disapproval, stating that true classical dance requires years of training and should not be trivialized. The backlash reflects a broader concern over the portrayal of cultural arts, with critics arguing that such performances can undermine the integrity of traditional practices. Meanwhile, 'Chand Mera Dil,' directed by Vivek Soni and featuring Lakshya alongside Panday, has received lukewarm reviews and is on track to earn around ₹15 crore (approximately $1.8 million USD) globally after its release.
