Singer Neha Kakkar is facing massive backlash after releasing her latest song Candy Shop with her brother Tony Kakkar on December 15. Soon after its release, the song sparked outrage online, with social media users criticising its lyrics, visuals, choreography, and styling. Many called the track “cringe,” “vulgar,” and an awkward attempt at copying K-pop aesthetics, comparing it unfavourably to international pop acts.

Internet Calls Neha Kakkar’s Candy Shop ‘Cringe’
Users were quick to mock Candy Shop, with several calling it a cheap imitation of K-pop groups like BLACKPINK. Critics targeted the repetitive lyrics, flashy styling, and dance moves, claiming the song lacked originality. Many felt Neha Kakkar’s attempt to blend global pop trends came across as forced and uncomfortable.
When your daughter has potential to become another Sushma Swaraj ji, Nirmala Sitaraman ji, Avani Chaturvedi, Mithali Raj, Saina Nehwal, Hima Das, Usha Kiran and many more like them… Don’t “Allow”, “Motivate”, “Encourage”, “Demand”, “Support” her to become like Neha Kakkar. 🤦🏻♀️ pic.twitter.com/Pdrzo1MMNg

If married women like Neha Kakkar are behaving this way- then what do we say to the young ones showing their cleavages/ cheap dance moves to get traction on social media?
Where is the talent here? This is what modern feminism has done to women!

“Candy Shop रिलीज हुए 2 दिन भी नहीं हुए और पहले से ही मीम्स की दुकान खुल गई!
नेहा दीदी का लॉलीपॉप डांस देखकर लगा – ये K-pop नहीं, Cringe-pop है!
तुम्हें कैसा लगा? Banger या Disaster? Vote करो!
ये गाना नहीं, कान का टॉर्चर है! Old Neha Kakkar कहाँ गई?
