Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan Show Support for Loveyapa Title Track Amid Criticism
Earlier today, the title track of Loveyapa, featuring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, was released, but it quickly became the subject of heavy criticism online. Many users labeled the song as “cringe” and “horrible.” Despite the negative feedback, Bollywood superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan have shown their support for the track, offering words of praise to the newcomers.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Heartfelt Praise
On Friday, Shah Rukh Khan took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to express his admiration for the song. Defying the critics, he described the track as “sweet” and praised Junaid Khan’s gentle presence in it. He wrote, “So sweet this song is. Gentle like Junaid. All the best Khushi. My big love to the #Loveyapa couple and team.”
Salman Khan Sends Best Wishes
Salman Khan also voiced his support, albeit in a more succinct manner. Taking to Instagram, the actor shared the song with a message of encouragement: “Best of luck Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor.”
Song Receives Mixed Reactions from Fans
Despite the support from the Bollywood giants, Loveyapa’s title track has received a barrage of negative feedback. The song, which explores modern love with quirky frames and takes playful jabs at today’s dating scene, failed to resonate with the audience. Comments flooded social media platforms with remarks like, “What is this cringe?” and “First of all, eww. Second of all, ewwww.” Some even went so far as to express embarrassment over the track, with one user commenting, “Second-hand embarrassment.”
About the Film and the Track
The Loveyapa title track, featuring voices by Nakash Aziz and Madhubanti Bagchi, accompanies a romantic drama that serves as a remake of the 2022 Tamil hit Love Today. The film marks Junaid Khan’s debut in the romantic comedy genre, following his previous appearance in Maharaj. The makers have described Loveyapa as a “heartwarming tale enriched with unforgettable performances, lively music, and breathtaking visuals,” despite the initial backlash over the song.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Upcoming Projects
On the heels of his successful 2023 with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, Shah Rukh Khan continues to generate buzz for his future projects. One of his highly anticipated films is King, an action-thriller directed by Siddharth Anand. The movie will also star Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, alongside Abhishek Bachchan as the villain. Production for King is expected to begin later this year.
