In the video, Deepika was seen acing the hook steps of her song Lovely from Happy New Year. She is wearing a black tank top and grey yoga pants in the throwback clip that was shared on Instagram recently. The choreographer could also be seen dancing alongside the actor in the video. As Deepika danced, she also whipped her hair back and forth. A person commented on the video, “Balo ka dance hai yeh (Is this some kind of dance for her hair)?” The video was also shared on YouTube, where a person compared Deepika’s moves to ‘robot dancing’.

Some YouTube users also seemed more invested in Deepika’s choreographer’s dance. One wrote, “I love Deepika, she did a good job in the real clip (in the movie), but here, it’s the girl behind her for me.” One more commented, “Choreographer is (fire emoji), her moves are so elegant and sexy.” One more said, “Wow for the choreographer.” A person also commented, “Deepika looks a little stiff here… choreographer nailed it… look at the flexibility, elegance (fire emoji).”

Lovely was originally choreographed by Geeta Kapoor and Farah Khan. Happy New Year was released in theatres in 2014. Along with Deepika, it featured Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Sonu Sood, Jackie Shroff, Boman Irani and Vivaan Shah. The movie was directed by Farah Khan. Deepika played Mohini, a bar dancer, in the film.

Deepika Padukone was last seen in Pathaan alongside Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. The film was released on January 25 this year. Deepika is now working on her first film with Hrithik Roshan, Fighter. She also has Project K with Amitabh Bachchan and Prabhas as one of her upcoming films.
