Selena Gomez wishes to collaborate with AR Rahman for a Bollywood song, gets mixed reactions online

Gomez praised the Oscar and Grammy-winning composer for his “seamlessly” blend of Western music with Indian ragas. Her remark about singing for a Bollywood film garnered a mixed-reaction online. Some Indian fans were not quite thrilled by the idea, and a few even trolled the star. However, Gomez fans were excited and hoped it turned into a reality soon and they even defended her online.

Here’s what Twitterati thought about this:

The tea is that Selena Gomez could never ever sing as great as an actual Bollywood singer, she couldn’t even hit the sa re ga ma pa notes and that’s beginner level. Bollywood singers are no joke and their abilities are overlooked!

Selena gomez wants to sing for bollywood is just an excuse for her to appropriate different south asian cultures some more

But Bollywood singers actually SING… the standards are very high. They’ve been trained to his the low and high notes on another level.

Selena wants to work with A.R. Rahman? Not on my watch. Give me a Siti Nurhaliza and A.R. Rahman collaboration instead.

Can you imagine AR Rahman and Alka Yagnik singing with Selena? No, honey, no. Bollywood has legends, and we don’t want you. https://t.co/2Vri6peHLQ

Everyone making fun of selena saying AR Rahman would never work with her. Listen to Come and Get It. It wouldn’t be a bad idea.
