As soon as the video was shared, Deepika’s husband Ranveer Singh was quick to react. The actor took to the comment section and dropped and wrote, “Mesmeric!” Apart from Singh, fans also took to the comment section and appreciated their favourite actor. A fan wrote, “The beauty of Deepika in this song, I don’t think any other actress would be able to pull this off like her, this will go down as one of the greatest of all time in Hindi cinema!!” Another said, “Now The Academy is finally giving the recognition that Bollywood deserves.” A third wrote, “Thank you for recognising the most beautifully shot song of all time.”
In March of last year, Deepika presented the performance of the Oscar-winning RRR song “Naatu Naatu” at the 95th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Composed by MM Keeravani, “Naatu Naatu” achieved a historic milestone as the first Telugu song to not just be performed and nominated, but also to win at the Oscars.
While introducing the act, Deepika said, “An irresistibly catchy chorus, electrifying beats and killer dance moves to match have made this next song a global sensation. It plays during a pivotal scene in RRR, a movie about the friendship between real-life Indian revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.”
She added, “In addition to being sung in Telugu and illustrating the film’s anti-colonialist themes, it’s also a total banger. It’s got millions of views on YouTube and TikTok, has audiences dancing in movie theatres all around the world, and is also the first song ever from an Indian production to be nominated for an Oscar.”
