Rapping

Aneet Padda, the rising star who made waves with her breakout film Saiyaara earlier this year, is now at the center of a social media controversy. An old video of the actress, showing her singing and rapping the famous Urdu poem Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua, has resurfaced online, triggering strong reactions from netizens. In the viral video, Aneet is seen performing the iconic prayer, Lab Pe Aati Hai Dua, a beloved children’s poem written by Muhammad Iqbal.

While the prayer is often recited in schools across the subcontinent, especially by young children, some social media users were quick to accuse the actress of mocking the Muslim community. They argued that her performance was disrespectful and rude. One user commented, “Is there a shortage of songs in the world, so why are you singing this?” Another added, “This is very bad. You should be ashamed.” Some critics even questioned her understanding of the poem’s meaning, suggesting that her actions were a result of ignorance.

However, Aneet’s supporters were quick to step in, defending her and clarifying the situation. Many fans pointed out that the actress was not mocking Muslims or the poem itself, but rather, simply having fun with the Bachche Ki Dua version, a poem that is widely sung by schoolchildren. One fan explained, “She’s not mocking Muslims. What Aneet and her friends are doing is rapping Muhammad Iqbal’s ‘Bachche Ki Dua,’ which is a type of prayer recited in most schools. There is no hate in her video.” Another wrote, “Don’t mislead, there’s no malice here. She was just having fun with a popular poem.”
