In an exclusive interview, Krystle D'Souza has addressed the recent comparisons between her performance in the song "Shararat" from the movie Dhurandhar and Ayesha Khan, stating she feels sorry for the trolls who engage in such negativity. The actress, known for her impactful performances in films like Chehre and Visfot, has been receiving praise for her vibrant screen presence and effortless charm in the dance number.
"Shararat," a song from Dhurandhar, features D'Souza alongside Ranveer Singh, and has quickly become a major highlight, garnering millions of views on YouTube within days of its release. The song, sung by Madhubanti Bagchi and Jasmine Sandlas, with music and lyrics by Shashwat Sachdev and Jasmine Sandlas, has been lauded for its energy and catchy vibe. D'Souza's performance has been described as a refreshing new zone for the actress, showcasing a confident, glamorous, and rhythmically effortless side.
However, with the praise came a wave of comparisons, particularly with Ayesha Khan, who also features in the song. D'Souza addressed these comparisons head-on, expressing her disappointment in the negativity it breeds. While the specific details of her statement regarding the comparisons were not available in the provided context, her sentiment suggests a call for positivity and recognition of individual talent rather than fostering rivalry. D'Souza has stated that she is at ease sharing the spotlight and believes there is space for everyone to shine. She focuses on her own performance and does not view other actresses as competition.
Adding to the excitement, some viewers have drawn parallels between D'Souza's look in "Shararat" and Kareena Kapoor Khan's iconic performance in "Dil Mera Muft Ka" from Agent Vinod, noting the smoky eyes, regal styling, and bold screen command.
D'Souza expressed her gratitude to director Aditya Dhar for believing in her and giving her the opportunity to showcase a different side of herself. She also thanked Mukesh Chhabra for choosing her for a song that needed heart, fun, and fire. D'Souza sees "Shararat" as a gift and a meaningful step ahead in her career, opening a creative avenue to explore a different side of herself.
The actress also reflected on the evolution of dance numbers in cinema, noting that they are no longer just about looking glamorous but about performing, emoting, and creating a mood. She appreciates the respect given to dancers and performers today, making such songs even more rewarding.
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar has been making waves at the box office, with Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal and R Madhavan in the lead. The film, directed and co-produced by Aditya Dhar, is set against the backdrop of the IC-814 hijacking in 1999 and the 2001 Indian Parliament attack.
