Singer Shreya Ghoshal recently shared insights into her decision to decline the opportunity to record the song Fevicol Se from the film Dabangg 2. In an interview, she expressed her discomfort with the lyrics, feeling that they were excessively objectifying. Ghoshal detailed how, during discussions with Raj Shamani, an entrepreneur and podcast host, she reached the conclusion to walk away from the project despite its significant status within the Bollywood landscape.

Details of the Lyrics That Caused Discomfort

During the conversation, Ghoshal elaborated on the specific lines that made her uncomfortable. She described them as lacking subtlety, remarking on phrases that she felt were inappropriate and embarrassing. “There was a song in that film, which had too much objectification. It was not subtle – it was like ‘chicken bana ke khale aur yeh karke lipat le’ – I cannot say these words. It just makes me feel red on the face. I cannot do it,” she stated, emphasizing her decision to step away from the track.

Impact of the Track in Bollywood

Despite Ghoshal’s decision, Fevicol Se went on to become a memorable item number from Dabangg 2, featuring actor Kareena Kapoor Khan in a notable special appearance. The song’s success has reignited discussions regarding the nature of lyrics prevalent in Bollywood, particularly in the context of item numbers which often draw criticism for their portrayal of women.
