Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui objects to the latest remix of Pakistani classic song ‘Ankhiayn De Kol’ featuring Bollywood actress Kriti Sanon. The song is a ‘rip off’ of a classic Pakistani song sung by legendary Reshma.
Raising objections on the cinematography of the song, Siddiqui in his tweet on X said: “Imitation can be flattering, but not when it means tearing apart a classic by a legend. Please show some respect for Reshma jee and the legacy she left behind. Her music deserves to be treated with the dignity it commands, not reduced to just another sordid ripoff.”
The song is from the upcoming Bollywood film ‘Do Patti’ featuring Kriti Sanon, Shaheer Sheikh and Kajol. The remix is sung by Shilpa Rao. The song is composed by Tanishk Bagchi, and written by Kausar Munir. The movie will be released only on Netflix on Friday, 25th October, 2024.

Several social media users agreed with the opinion shared by Adnan Siddiqui. One user commenting on the post said: “Thank you for saying this. What an obscene way to honor the legend that Reshma ji is. Just the audacity makes me puke. Thank you.”
Another user said, “Can’t blame Kriti Sanon for this all I can say is Bollywood is crossing the limits with remix I still remember how much they used to do with all this post COVID-19 (2020) the music industry of Bollywood was just producing unnecessary remix.”
His comments irked the Indian fans who asked Siddiqui to not to watch such songs. One of the Indian users on X said: “Then please don’t sell your songs to Indian labels or specify in your contracts that these songs will not be played in indian movies. most pakistani songs are not even heard by indians before. They are classic for you and your country you can choose not to listen to Indian ones.”
