Shaidai’s OST teaser, featuring Feroze Khan and Sahar Hashmi, has sparked controversy for its striking resemblance to a popular Bollywood track, dividing fans.
The highly anticipated Pakistani drama Shaidai, featuring prominent actors Feroze Khan and Sahar Hashmi, has been generating considerable buzz with its intense love story teasers. However, the recent release of its Original Soundtrack (OST) teaser has taken social media by storm for an entirely different reason. Fans were quick to draw uncanny comparisons, pointing out a scene that bears a striking resemblance to a popular Bollywood track, igniting a fervent debate online.

Feroze Khan, a heartthrob in the Pakistani entertainment industry, is renowned for his captivating performances in dramas like Khuda Aur Muhabbat 3 and Habs, often portraying complex, intense characters. His co-star, Sahar Hashmi, is an emerging talent who has quickly made a name for herself with her refreshing screen presence. Both actors command a significant following, with Feroze Khan actively engaging with his fans on platforms like Instagram, and Sahar Hashmi sharing glimpses of her work on her official Instagram account.

The specific scene from Shaidai’s OST teaser that caught netizens’ attention depicts Sahar Hashmi seated on a bed, with Feroze Khan tenderly touching her foot, before they embrace. This particular sequence immediately triggered a wave of familiarity among viewers, who recognized it from the Bollywood blockbuster Animal. The identical scene, featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandana in the song Satranga, has led to a flurry of comments across platforms. Social media users have vocally expressed their disappointment, with many calling out the Pakistani drama for what they perceive as a direct copy. Comments like “Animal ki copy” and “So shameful to copy from Animal” flooded the internet, highlighting the audience’s demand for originality.


This incident raises pertinent questions about creative inspiration versus blatant imitation in the entertainment industry. As Shaidai prepares for its premiere next week, it remains to be seen how the production house will address these comparisons. Will this controversy affect the drama’s reception, or will the undeniable chemistry between Feroze Khan and Sahar Hashmi prevail? Only time will tell if this ‘Desi’ adaptation manages to carve out its own identity amidst the swirling comparisons.
