Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu has come under fire for denying an influencer a selfie at the song launch of her upcoming movie ‘Khel Khel Mein'. Taapsee attended the event with other members of the cast. The peppy track 'Hauli Hauli' is a Punjabi dance number that also features Akshay Kumar, Ammy Virk, Vaani Kapoor, Aditya Seal, Pragya Jaiswal, and Fardeen Khan.

At the event, which was held in Mumbai, Taapsee took to the stage where she met an influencer named Ananya Dwivedi, a music tech coach. A viral video shows Taapsee denying her a selfie on stage. Reacting to the clip, Ananya wrote in the comment section, "That's me. And I don't understand why would someone deny a selfie when you're already surrounded by cameras and the only reason influencers like me were called is to promote HER song! She really needs a better PR training."

Coming to 'Hauli Hauli', the song shows Fardeen Khan and Akshay recreating their iconic 'Hey Babyy' step. All decked up in traditional outfits, groove to the beats of the party anthem. The song is sung by Guru Randhawa, Yo Yo Honey Singh, and Neha Kakkar.
