Controversial Choreography Divides the Internet
The recently released song Mere Mehboob from the film Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, has sparked divided reactions online. While some listeners appreciated the catchy tune and upbeat music, the choreography, particularly the dance steps given to Triptii Dimri, has been a hot topic of debate. The song, which was released on Monday evening, features a dimly lit dance sequence with backup dancers, but it is Triptii’s moves that have caught the most attention.
Fans on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit expressed discomfort with the choreography, calling it “cringe” and embarrassing. The song, choreographed by Ganesh Acharya and sung by Shilpa Rao, presents Triptii in a sultry, bold avatar, but not everyone seems to appreciate the direction her dance moves have taken.
Viewers Criticize the Dance Moves
While the song’s catchy beats have many tapping their feet, the sensual moves, including pelvic thrusts and gyrations, have made some viewers uncomfortable. Criticism flooded social media soon after snippets from the music video began circulating online. Many pointed out the awkwardness of the dance steps Triptii was given, which led to several comments blaming the choreographer.

One post on Reddit called out the choreography, stating, “This is embarrassing for Triptii. So cringe.” Another comment added, “The choreographer needs to be put in jail what the actual are they making her do!” On Twitter, a user commented, “Triptii is a bad dancer but sack the choreographer! They’ve done an awful job.”
Though the video has garnered attention, a substantial number of viewers feel the choreography, particularly the moves performed by Triptii, detracts from the song’s potential appeal.
Fans Link the Backlash to Triptii Dimri’s Role in Animal
A section of fans also linked the criticism to Triptii’s previous role in the film Animal. Some believe that her bold performance in Animal, which included an intimate scene, has led to her being typecast in roles that emphasize sensuality. One Twitter user shared, “Literally they are making Triptii do anything, she will never be able to move on from Animal movie…she did one bold scene and now they will make sure she repeats some cheap moves or scenes again and again.”
Many fans expressed sympathy for the actress, who they believe has been unfairly labeled following her role in Animal. Some comments highlighted that despite her strong performances in earlier films like Qala and Bulbbul, she now seems to be associated with more provocative roles. A fan lamented, “From Laila Majnu, Qala, Bulbul to THIS???? Her downfall is kinda crazy man.” Another added, “She deserves roles like Deepika, Priyanka, and Kriti but she is getting roles like Nora and Malaika.”
