Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra’s new song Param Sundari from Pardesiya has quickly gained attention, but for mixed reasons. While the song itself is being praised for its music and vocals, the video has sparked widespread trolling directed primarily at Janhvi Kapoor.
With lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and vocals by Sonu Nigam and Krishnakali Saha, the track is melodious and playlist-worthy. Musically, fans are loving it, but the accompanying visuals have generated a very different discussion on social media.
Viewers claim that both Janhvi and Sidharth appear to be giving more sensual, almost erotic expressions rather than the romantic vibe expected from the song. Many fans feel this mismatch between the music and the video makes the performance awkward.
Janhvi, in particular, has faced harsh criticism. Some social media users speculated that cosmetic procedures might have impacted her facial expressions, while others blamed it on inexperience and a lack of grace in lip-syncing. A few also highlighted that the chemistry between the actors feels off, possibly due to their age difference.
Interestingly, while both actors contribute to the video’s perceived awkwardness, the trolling is largely aimed at Janhvi. Critics argue that being labeled a “nepo kid” makes her an easy target for hate, regardless of her actual performance. Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra’s role in the video has drawn little attention, even though his expressions have also been questioned.
Despite the backlash, some fans believe the criticism is unfairly one-sided. Both actors share responsibility for the on-screen disconnect, and the trolling may be harsher on Janhvi than the situation warrants.
As the buzz around Pardesiya continues, this debate over the Param Sundari video highlights the intense scrutiny faced by Bollywood actors on social media.
