The internet has been buzzing for months, and now the "First Indian Woman" to do just about everything has finally weighed in. Urvashi Rautela has officially addressed the massive backlash surrounding her viral song Dabidi Dibidi from the film Daaku Maharaaj, starring alongside Tollywood legend Nandamuri Balakrishna (NBK).
If you’ve been on social media lately, you know the song didn't just go viral for its beats—it sparked a firestorm of criticism over its choreography and the 30-plus-year age gap between the lead pair.
What Was the Controversy?
When the song first dropped, the reaction was… polarized, to say the least. While fans of "Balayya" celebrated his trademark energy, a large section of the internet labeled the dance steps as "vulgar" and "cringe-worthy."
The Age Gap: Fans pointed out the stark difference between the 32-year-old actress and the 65-year-old veteran star.
The Choreography: Critics felt the movements were inappropriate, leading to a wave of memes and heated debates across Twitter (X) and Instagram.
Urvashi’s "Childlike" Defense
In a recent sit-down with Radio Nasha, Urvashi didn't shy away from the topic. Instead of getting defensive about the "vulgar" labels, she took a philosophical route, explaining how things often snowball online.
"I don't know… sometimes it’s like one thing leads to another thing, then a third thing, fourth thing… it was like that," she remarked regarding how the controversy escalated.
"He's Very Childlike"
Urvashi was quick to praise Balakrishna’s off-screen persona, painting a very different picture from the "angry veteran" image often seen in viral clips of him pushing phones or shouting at fans.
The Vibe: She described him as "very childlike," "fun-loving," and "super energetic."
The Valentine's Connection: In a surprising twist, Urvashi revealed that Balakrishna was actually the first person to wish her on Valentine’s Day last year.
On the Viral Fan Interactions
Addressing the clips where Balakrishna is seen reacting aggressively toward fans, Urvashi offered a perspective that might surprise outsiders but resonates with his hardcore "cult" following.
She admitted she’s seen those moments happen in person, but claimed:
"It used to be fun watching all this. The fans also love it… they are also happy, you won't imagine."
According to Urvashi, the "Dabidi Dibidi" energy is just part of the Balayya experience, and she considers herself "lucky" to have shared the screen with such a massive superstar.
The Verdict
While the internet remains divided on whether the Dabidi Dibidi steps crossed a line, Urvashi Rautela is clearly standing by her co-star. For her, the "vulgarity" is just a matter of online perspective, while the reality on set was one of high energy and mutual respect.
What do you think? Was the song just harmless "mass" entertainment, or was the criticism justified? One thing is for sure: Daaku Maharaaj certainly got the marketing boost of a lifetime.
