Vaibhavi Merchant says she was amused by the radicality of Besharam Rang song: Deepika Padukone’s costume colour was the least of it – Times of India

Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, who recently made Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif dance to the tunes of Leke Prabhu Ka Naam in Tiger 3, opened up about the controversy around Besharam Rang song from Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan and how Deepika Padukone‘s saffron bikini became a huge topic of discussion.
Reacting to the massive backlash, Vaibhavitold DNA that she has become immune to both criticism and praise.Initially in her career, she used to work so hard on songs and nobody bothered to appreciate them. But now in the era of social media, she has realised that it’s not possible to please everyone.
“You get to know that a majority people have liked it and there are a handful few who will troll out of whether it is part of their nature or their agenda. Whatever happened with Besharam Rang, eventually on the hindsight, it did what it needed to do, which is it generated not just a conversation but created a havoc,” she said.

She added that the good part is that people who believed in the song were answering the trolls on their behalf and they realised that the controversy is completely baseless and unnecessary. She also said that she was amused by the radicality of the song as she believes there are far more things in the world which need immediate attention and an actress’ costume colour was the least of it.

Talking about choreographing Salman

and Katrina in Tiger 3, Vaibhavi said that she has known Katrina even before she joined films. They have worked together in Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Dhoom 3, and Ek Tha Tiger and they know that with their each song, they have to better themselves because they owe it to the audience.
She also mentioned that making Salman dance is a challenge for everyone and you have to give him steps according to his comfort, his body language, and his physicality, which will excite both Salman and his fan base.
