Bollywood dancer-actress Nora Fatehi is facing fresh online criticism over the costume she wears in her newly released music video “Body Roll,” a collaboration with rapper Honey Singh. Netizens have accused the performer of copying the look of a character from Netflix’s animated anthology Love, Death & Robots — specifically the episode “Jibaro” — and have labeled the styling a “copycat” move. The controversy comes shortly after Fatehi was already under scrutiny over alleged inappropriate choreography in a recent song with actor Sanjay Dutt, which drew the ire of the women’s commission.
In the “Body Roll” video, Fatehi appears styled as a mythic apsara, her body draped in gold ornaments that form a striking, sculptural look. While many fans praised the visual, a segment of viewers pointed out what they see as a near-identical resemblance to the armored, ornamented figure in “Jibaro,” prompting accusations that the video lifted its aesthetic directly from the Netflix episode.
Fatehi is credited as one of the producers on the music video, a fact that has intensified public scrutiny of her creative role. As criticism mounted, the video’s director, Prakash Tiwari, responded by saying his work draws inspiration from a wide range of art, cinema and folklore from around the world. Tiwari acknowledged that elements of the costume showed influence from “Jibaro,” but he insisted the video’s story and overall style are original, suggesting that any similarities are coincidental or the result of common sources of inspiration.
Nora Fatehi herself defended the look, saying she was excited to wear the outfit and that the gold adornments were intended to evoke Indian aesthetics and present an otherworldly apsara figure. Despite these explanations, a portion of the online community continues to criticize her, arguing that the resemblance crosses the line from inspiration into imitation. The episode highlights ongoing debates in popular culture about inspiration, originality and where the boundary lies between homage and appropriation.
