Viral: Plus-size influencer Tanvi Geetha Ravishankar recreates Deepika Padukone’s ‘Pathaan’ song ‘Besharam Rang’

The buzz around the Besharam Rang song, from the much-awaited Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone film Pathaan, is far from dying down. Speaking of the latest, a video posted by plus-size social media influencer Tanvi Geetha Ravishankar grooving to the track is going viral.

In the clip, Tanvi is seen dancing to the song trying to emulate Deepika’s move from the original video, which was released in December 2022. “Be Besharam”, she captioned the video, with an explanation that if being besharam (or shameless) means following your heart and doing what you love, wearing what you like and practising your choices in life, it is the time to do so.

She ended the caption saying, “We’re entering 2023 and the world is gonna get nothing less than our unapologetic self”. Soon after that many comments started pouring in, in which people appreciated her thoughts and concept of the video.

The song Besharam Rang is composed by Vishal-Shekhar, and written by Kumaar and Vishal Dadlani. The song is sung by Shilpa Rao, Caralisa Monteiro, Shekhar Ravjiani and Vishal Dadlani.

After the controversy around the song for Deepika’s saffron bikini in the video, not only the song but the entire film went through multiple suggested cuts by the Central Board of Film Certification. Reportedly, due to that, a few sequences of the song, in which Deepika was earlier seen wearing a golden bikini and flaunting butt shorts, are now removed. The report also suggests that the sensuous moves of Deepika on the lyrics ‘bahut tang kiya’ also have to be curbed.

On the other hand, one can see in the viral video of Tanvi, she emulated those sensuous moves and got applauded for that too. In fact, one of the social media users commented, “This should be in the movie! This is it”. 

Directed by Siddharth Anand, Pathaan is a comeback film of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh, after four years. The movie also features John Abrahum, Ashutosh Rana, and Dimple Kapadia among others. Produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner Yash Raj Films, Pathaan releases on January 25.
