Please be specific, Mr. Director. Only north-Indian women “embraced” Honey Singh’s songs. The usual Delhi-Chandigarh type girls.
Nobody else (I am speaking strictly of women here) “embraced” anything related to Honey Singh. In fact, women cursed him all the time, holding him up as an example of societal misogyny and oppressive patriarchy. Nobody ever accepted, let alone embrace, Honey Singh’s songs.
But yes, the Delhi-Chandigarh types did not have much of an issue with him. The women carelessly grooved to his raunchy and misogynistic numbers – blissfully oblivious that they are furthering this utterly patriarchal and misogynistic nonsense masquerading as music, But then again, nobody has ever had much expectations from these D-C types.
