Malaika Arora's twerking in Chillgum song sparks Reddit meltdown: “What Is This?”

Malaika Arora has landed right back into the centre of online chatter, and this time it’s the teaser of Honey Singh’s upcoming track Chillgum that has triggered a storm. The short clip, meant to build excitement before the song releases on November 8, has instead set off a wave of criticism on Reddit, where users have taken jabs at her look, her moves, and even her personal choices.

Reddit Reacts Sharply to Malaika’s Appearance in the Teaser

The teaser shows Malaika in a bold, club-style avatar alongside Honey Singh, who recently unveiled the video’s first look on Instagram. While he sports his salt-and-pepper vibe, she stands out in a shimmering maroon outfit. But over on Reddit, many weren’t impressed. Several users called the visuals “trashy,” “awkward,” and “male-gaze driven,” picking apart moments of her dancing, twerking, and posing for the camera.

Some comments went overboard and outright mean, with a few even dragging her age and motherhood into the conversation. Others questioned why her sensual style bothers people only because she is a mother, pointing out the double standards that constantly follow women in the public eye.

Honey Singh Calls It a Celebration

Despite the noise online, Honey Singh seems all set for the release of Chillgum, one of the tracks from his ambitious album 51 Glorious Days. He previously spoke about the project as a huge milestone for him, calling it a celebration with 51 different tracks and moods. With the teaser already sparking heated discussion, the music video is expected to draw massive attention when it arrives.

Malaika’s Personal Life Also Under the Scanner—Again

While the trolling around Chillgum continues, Malaika has also been trending for entirely different reasons. Clips from her recent outing at the Enrique Iglesias concert went viral, where she was seen enjoying the night with friends. Social media quickly jumped to conclusions about a “mystery man” by her side, sparking rumours about a new romance. Redditors later clarified that the man was simply her long-time manager, not a new partner.

All this comes after weeks of gossip following her reported split from Arjun Kapoor, which has kept her name constantly circulating online.

And for Chillgum, whether the full video will change the conversation or intensify it, only November 8 will tell.
