London based model & actress, Sangeet Samra is known for featuring in music videos with Bollywood singers, Jonita Gandhi and Parichay. She has recently featured as the lead actress in Punjabi star Gurnam Bhullar’s music video for the song, Jija Sali. This song has been a complete rollercoaster ride as the public’s reaction to the lyrics has been quite divided.
During a visit to the Westfield mall in London, Sangeet Samra was confronted by 3 individuals, one being a truck driver. He recognized her and felt the need to let off some steam. The individual felt the song showed truckers in a bad light and wanted to make his point. Therefore, he wanted the video to be taken down and insisted that Sangeet calls Gurnam immediately.
Moreover, Sangeet was able to calm him down after explaining that the intent of the song was to show the truckers in good light. Although the situation was quite intimidating, Sangeet and her fellow artists were aware that such a confrontation was perhaps brewing, judging from the comments on Youtube. The message of the song had been taken out of context by some and needed to be addressed. However, such a personal confrontation in a top London mall is something no one had perhaps envisioned.
On the situation, Sangeet said “it was shocking at first as I wasn’t expecting to be confronted like that out of nowhere. But I was able to explain the real intent of the song to him and he felt a bit silly which made me laugh. That guy now follows me on Instagram haha. It’s interesting to know that even a song can leave such an impact on people which definitely is something I will consider when taking on a project in the future and looking back, maybe it was a good decision to decline the offer to be part of Big Boss and Love Island”
