Hyderabad: Aspiring actor Shanaya Kapoor on Sunday shared a video on her Instagram page. In the video, she is seen performing belly dance with her trainer. The actor did impress her followers on social media with her dance moves but her choice of song has seemingly upset a section of social media.

Taking to Instagram, Shanaya dropped a video wherein she is seen dancing with Sanjana Muthreja who is a celebrity belly dancing trainer.

Meanwhile, a few Instagram also criticized her for performing belly dancing on a hymn like Aigiri Nandini. A social media user even asked Shanaya, "You did not find any other song??"

For the unversed, Aigiri Nandini is a very popular devotional stotra of Goddess Durga written by Vedic scholar Adi Shankaracharya. The netizens are apparently not pleased that a dance form as sensual as belly dancing is choreographed on Aigiri Nandini. Soon after the trolls attacked her on the post, Shanaya deleted the post on Instagram.
