Dhaval Roy (DNA; August 8, 2019)

Shamita Shetty has shown off her moves in Bollywood in dance numbers Rhythms of Mohabbatein (Mohabbatein, 2000), Sharara Sharara (Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, 2002), Baras Ja Aye Badal (Fareb, 2005) among others. Now, she is all set to star in the video of a non-film track, Teri Maa, for the first time. Interestingly, the Punjabi song has been directed by her brother-in-law, businessman Raj Kundra.

Conceptualised around a man torn between his love interest and mother, the song has been shot against a village dhaba backdrop and a night club set-up. The video will see Shamita as a Punjabi kudi, who playfully insists that she loves the guy more than his mother. It also features social media star, Manav Chhabra opposite her.

Shamita states that it’s a homecoming of sorts for her because of her passion for dancing. The actress says, “It’s a fun, peppy Punjabi song and gave me a chance to do what I love the most — dance! We shot the song in a day in the sweltering heat of Mumbai, but none of that really mattered because I had a blast working.” About being directed by her sister Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s husband, Raj, she states, “I had so much fun working with Jiju for the very first time. He is one of the most passionate people I’ve known and he’s so full of surprises.”
