The music scene is currently dominated by the infectious beats of 'Shararat', a track from the much-talked-about film 'Dhurandhar'. While Akshaye Khanna's entry number 'Fa9LA' made waves, it is 'Shararat' that has truly captured the public's imagination, climbing the popularity charts at a rapid pace. The song, featuring Krystle Dsouza and Ayesha Khan, has become a viral favourite, spreading joy and dance moves far and wide.
From Instagram Reels to Global Stages
The song's success is largely driven by its catchy hook step, which has sparked a massive trend on Instagram Reels. The trend has seen participation from all corners, including noted choreographer Vijay Ganguly and even television star Rupali Ganguly’s mother, proving its cross-generational appeal. Remarkably, the song's influence has crossed international borders, with global pop star Nick Jonas reportedly using it as a pre-show pump-up track. This widespread adoption underscores the track's universal energy and appeal.
Krystle Dsouza Addresses the 'Immature' Comparisons
With viral fame often comes unnecessary scrutiny. A section of social media has been busy drawing comparisons between the two leading ladies of the song, Krystle Dsouza and Ayesha Khan. Tired of this narrative, Krystle has spoken out in a recent interview. She firmly believes that 'Shararat' should be viewed as a celebration of collective female talent, involving herself, Ayesha, singer Jasmine Sandlas, and lyricist Madhubanti Bagchi.
"Four women have come together and that’s one of the best things about Shararat," Krystle stated. She expressed disappointment at the trolls who pit one performer against another. "I see trolls saying, ‘She did better than the other’. But it’s not about that. Who cares? Enjoy the song and have fun!" She lamented the tendency to drag one person down to praise another, calling it a sad and immature practice.
Krystle emphasized that such comments do not affect her personally but finds the mindset behind them disheartening, especially when they come from women. "As women, the least we can do is support another woman. If they can’t support, then they should just keep quiet," she remarked, adding that such negativity holds everyone back.
A Celebration of Female Solidarity and Artistic Integrity
Known for her stance on female empowerment, Krystle reiterated the importance of women uplifting each other. "We should push and build each other. A world filled with supportive women is beautiful," she said. She also had high praise for her co-star, Ayesha Khan, admiring her beauty and dancing skills, and cherished the experience of letting her shine.
Another significant factor in the song's resonance is its treatment of women. Despite being a high-energy dance number, it consciously avoids objectification. Krystle appreciated that the song also served a narrative purpose in advancing the film's story. While she enjoys watching sensual item numbers, she confessed she might not be bold enough to do one herself yet, and was glad 'Shararat' was shot the way it was.
Choreographer Vijay Ganguly has also praised both Krystle and Ayesha for their incredible energy and commitment to the performance, further solidifying the song's success as a team effort. As 'Shararat' continues to rule the charts and social media, its legacy is shaping up to be one of joy, dance, and a powerful message of collective celebration over pointless competition.
