Here’s what Saroj Khan actually feels about Jacqueline Fernandez’ Ek Do Teen song…
Ever since Jacqueline Fernandez’ version of Ek Do Teen from Baaghi 2 has hit the web, there’s been a lot of debate and backlash. Where some are liking this new remix thanks to Jacqueline’s sexy moves. Many are calling off the song by calling it an insult to a legend like Madhuri Dixit who featured in the original. Tezaab director N Chandra too slammed the makers of the song for ruining the classic as he was quoted saying, ““I can’t believe they’ve done this to Ek do teen. It’s crass beyond imagination. And Jacqueline Fernandez doing Madhuri Dixit’s number? Give me a break! It’s like turning the Central Park into a botanical garden. Madhuri danced with such grace and innocence. This number is like a sex act.”.
As if the “sex act” remark wasn’t enough, N Chandra later even spoke on behalf of Saroj Khan who had choreographed the original saying she is equally disheartened and that they both are planning to take legal action against the team involved in creating the remix of Ek Do Teen. All this while, Saroj had suspiciously maintained silence without passing any comment but guess it was time she put an end to all the speculations, before things get any worse.
In interaction with Mumbai Mirror, Saroj Khan finally cleared the air saying, “I’m extremely happy and proud of Ahmed and Ganesh for paying us a tribute through this song. They have all my blessings.” Now that comes as a surprise, isn’t it? While, a source further added, “There was no question of legal action. There is no competition here and there should be no comparison as every individual is different. There’s no question of which version is better as the new song is a tribute to the original team of Ek Do Teen. The entire Baaghi 2 team has worked very hard on it.” Here, watch the song below:
Salman Khan too had recently tweeted praising the song:
