Shake it off culture in India now? Nora Fatehi gets slammed for vulgar dancing on national television

There is no doubt that Nora Fatehi is a fabulous dancer. In the last few years, this Moroccan-Canadian dancer has emerged as one of the best dancers in Bollywood and hence is also a hot favourite on dance reality shows.

Although she has not received any breakthrough role in the movie, her item songs like Saki Saki, and Dilbar Dilbar became a rage when they were released.

Bollywood fans have loved Nora Fatehi’s Western dancing and have always appreciated her for her elegance and grace. However, recently when she was found acing the “shake it off” dancing style that is inspired by water moves of Tyla, fans got upset.

Nora danced on the Dance Plus Pro platform which is a family dance reality show and this particular dancing style is supposed to be for the adults.

The currently viral video shows the Hai Garmi actress shaking off the water on her booty on the beats as she keeps on pouring it holding a bottle. Later on, she turns around and does the same trick with her waist.

Even the main judge of the show Remo D’Souza who has choreographed so many hit numbers for Bollywood movies and even directed a few flicks was left shocked by the way Nora Fatehi was shaking her booty.
