The internet is buzzing with criticism.
Netizens slammed Shreya for copying this masterpiece and attempting to cover it up while announcing with appreciation so that it does not appear to be stealing, and they penned about how innocent Pakistani celebrities are and that they are unable to understand stealing strategies because they are always dying for cross-border recognition.
It is pertinent to mention here that Ali Zafar released the music track 'Jhoom' in 2011.
Although the song became popular in Pakistan shortly after its release, it experienced an upturn in India last year as a result of its widespread use on Instagram reels.
