The world may be a big place full of many different kinds of people, but all of us share a few things in common. For example, for better or for worse, nothing excites audiences all over the world quite like reality television. And reality TV always generates plenty of controversial moments that are just as entertaining as the shows themselves.
That’s definitely the case with Indian actor Nora Fatehi. She made a name for herself thanks to her top-notch dance skills, but her recent performance on a family-friendly game show was so sexy that it caused countless people to freak out. What was so seductive about her dance moves, and what have the haters online been saying? Keep reading to discover the answers!
Who is Nora Fatehi?
Depending on where you live, the name “Nora Fatehi” may not ring a bell. In short, she is an actor in India who catapulted to national fame for the music video she recorded for her song “Dilbar.” That video showcased her slick dance moves, and over time, those moves won her a legion of fans and more than a few critics.
Aside from appearing in that music video, Fatehi has also appeared in films like Batla House, Roar, and Satyameva Jayate. The past few years have been very good for her career, and she managed to parlay her success as a singer, dancer, and actor into a position on a popular game show.
Tell it to the judge
Sometimes, celebs end up as judges on reality TV shows, and cynical fans are left asking what the heck even gives this person the authority to judge the performances of others. That’s not the case with Nora Fatehi, however, who landed on the perfect reality show to suit her talents.
That’s because Fatehi is now a judge on Dance+Pro. As the name implies, this show is a dance competition show that brings some of the best talent around the country to show off their best moves. As one of the best and most accomplished dancers in all of India, Fatehi is uniquely qualified to judge these performances.
Typically, her judging doesn’t generate much controversy. But when she put down the mic and demonstrated a few dance moves of her own, it landed her in hotter water than ever before.
Busting a move on national television
In what was likely a bit of branding, Nora Fatehi decided to dance to her own hit song “Naach Meri Rani.” The song itself is hardly offensive. However, when some audiences saw the sexy moves that Fatehi added to her dance routine, they could barely contain their rage.
Just what were these seductive dance moves? Her routine involves sexily shaking her back and pouring water in a slow-motion movement that some deemed too titillating for TV. The video of her performance soon went viral, and the responses from the audience in the room and the audience watching at home couldn’t be more different.
Instantly winning over the room
Despite her seductive dance moves generating angry feedback after her performance went viral, Nora Fatehi didn’t face anything in the way of criticism or blowback on the night of her performance. In fact, you could say she received the complete opposite!
In the video, you can clearly see that her performance surprised the other judges, but they didn’t dislike it. They actually applauded her performance, as did the audience in the room. Based on this, you might expect her video to be a smash hit on the internet.
Sadly, that was not the case.
What made her dance moves so controversial?
Depending on your own experiences and preferences, Nora Fatehi’s dance moves may not have seemed too sexy. Why, then, did so many people freak out about her dancing? The short answer is that her harshest critics thought her performance was a little too risque for Dance+Pro.
That show is considered family-friendly, and it’s not uncommon for children to tune in with their parents to see how far their favorite contestants will go. While we didn’t think she was too scandalous, many online thought the dancer-turned-judge was showing off moves these young fans weren’t ready to see.
As for the offended audience, it didn’t take them long to vent their anger and frustration online.
Online audiences lose their minds over the dance
Some of the meaner online comments directed toward Nora Fatehi after her sexy performance aren’t fit to print here. Many of the tamer comments called her dance moves “vulgar,” and quite a few claimed this performance was an unpleasant shock when they were trying to watch the show with their children in the room.
Others were offended because they thought Fatehi was guilty of making something that was never meant to be very sensual into a very sexual performance. Still, the online haters aren’t going to keep Fatehi from continuing to live, act, and dance her best life. As for us, our opinion is simple: if you never find anything sensual about dancing, then you’re definitely doing something wrong!
