Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s highly anticipated film, Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari, has just unveiled its latest track, “Perfect,” sung by Guru Randhawa. The vibrant music video showcases Varun and Janhvi dancing to the peppy tune, but it has inadvertently ignited a conversation among viewers regarding the noticeable absence of co-star Sanya Malhotra. Given Sanya’s well-established prowess as a dancer, many fans expressed frustration and surprise that she was not featured in the promotional song.
The music video presents a quirky and extravagant visual narrative. Janhvi Kapoor commands attention as she irons stacks of cash on a table, dines on pearls for breakfast, and executes energetic dance moves. Varun Dhawan and Guru Randhawa also share the screen, delivering lively performances. However, the decision to exclude Sanya Malhotra from a song that heavily features dance has puzzled many of the film’s followers.
Social media platforms, particularly in the comments sections of the song’s release, quickly filled with reactions questioning Sanya’s absence. One commenter directly asked, “Why the hell is Sanya sidelined in every clip, every promotion, every song. Insecurity??” Another fan voiced similar sentiments, stating, “SanyaMalhotra_ who is ten times a better dancer and actress is no where to be seen. Wow!!” These comments highlight a growing concern among viewers who feel that Sanya’s talent is being overlooked in the film’s promotional strategy.
Fan Reactions and Film Connections
The outpouring of fan sentiment continued, with many emphasizing Sanya Malhotra’s exceptional dancing skills. A comment read, “Where is Sanya Malhotra? She would have eaten up those moves with ease!” Another fan lamented, “Sanya should have been here along with Janhvi, don’t know why she is not present in the song when she dances so well, missed opportunity by the makers for sure.” These reactions underscore the high regard fans hold for Sanya’s abilities and their desire to see her shine in the film’s marketing. The debate surrounding her absence suggests that audiences expect a more equitable representation of lead actors in promotional content, especially when the talents of an actor like Sanya Malhotra are so prominent.
Trailer already out
Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’s trailer, released just days before the song, offered viewers a glimpse into a convoluted love story. In the film, Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor’s characters feign a romantic relationship to provoke jealousy in their respective ex-partners, played by Rohit Saraf and Sanya Malhotra. The trailer also featured several playful nods to classic Bollywood films, including a scene where Varun’s character references his father David Dhawan’s Raja Babu to compose a witty romantic poem. Viewers have also noted striking resemblances between the film’s plot and the 1998 Kajol and Ajay Devgn-starrer Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha, which itself was a remake of the Hollywood film French Kiss.
