The
makers
of
Ishaan
Khatter
and
Ananya
Panday-starrer
Khaali
Peeli,
recently
announced
that
the
film
will
be
releasing
digitally
on
October
2.
Along
with
the
release
date,
the
makers
have
released
a
new
song
from
the
film
titled
'Beyonce
Sharma
Jayegi'.
The
song's
lyrics
have
upset
many
netizens
and
have
called
out
the
makers
for
releasing
the
song.
Composed
by
Vishal-Shekhar,
some
of
the
lyrics
in
the
song
go
as,
"Ho
tujhe
dekh
ke
goriya,
Beyonce
sharma
jayegi".
The
words
essentially
say,
Beyonce
will
feel
embarrassed
after
looking
at
your
fair
skin.
After
the
song
was
unveiled
on
social
media,
netizens
took
to
Twitter
and
apologised
to
the
American
pop
singer.
Many
slammed
the
makers
calling
the
lyrics
racist.
A
user
wrote,
"They
should
stop
normalising
calling
girls
'goriya'
with
the
underlying
colourism,
why
would
Beyoncé
be
ashamed
looking
this
girl's
skin
tone
bruh." Another
slammed
composer
Vishal
Dadlani
and
wrote,
"What
is
your
racist
song
"Beyonce
sharma
jayegi".
Didn't
expect
these
racist
and
s****y
lyrics
from
you,
shame
on
you."
Some
Twitter
users
trolled
the
song
and
the
actors,
claiming
that
Beyonce
looks
way
better
than
Ananya.
Another
tweet
read,
"'gORiyA',
'even
beyoncé
would
get
shy
looking
at
your
fairness'
...the
blatant
racism
&
colorism
this
has...
why
isn't
Bollywood
cancelled
already?" Another
user
schooled
the
makers
for
including
the
lyrics
in
a
film,
"You
know
it's
real
shameful
when
beyonce
represented
a
south
indian
girl
in
brown
skin
girls
mv
and
then
vishal
shekhar,
ishaan,
ananya
pandey
come
together
to
downgrade
beyonce
for
her
skin
colour.
i
am
so
ashamed
to
be
an
indian
right
now."
Only
if
@Beyonce
understood
Hindi,
toh
ye
kachra
dekhkar
definitely
Sharmaa
jaati!
Moreover,
@Beyonce
should
file
a
defamation
case
on
makers
of
this
crap
for
harming
her
image!
