Actress Krithi Shetty is winning hearts with her bold transformation in the newly released song ‘Abdi Abdi’ from the upcoming fantasy drama Genie. The vibrant number, which also features Kalyani, has gone viral on social media — and for all the right reasons. Showcasing the duo in a powerful belly dance sequence, the track highlights a striking evolution from their previous on-screen avatars.

For Krithi, exploring belly dance was both a professional challenge and a personal delight. “I was super thrilled when I found out about the belly dance sequence,” she shared. “Since Genie is based on a Middle Eastern fantasy inspired by Arabian Nights, it felt fitting and exciting to dive into something so culturally rich and visually striking.”



Learning the intricate dance form wasn’t easy, especially with Krithi juggling multiple projects. The actress was simultaneously shooting for three Tamil films in Chennai, leaving her minimal time to train. “The only time I could practice was when I returned home to Mumbai,” she revealed. “I would squeeze in a couple of hours at the dance studio, and over a few months, I slowly began to get the hang of it.”

Despite her packed schedule, Krithi embraced the art form wholeheartedly. Her training went beyond mastering hip isolations and undulations — it demanded core strength, flexibility, and emotional expressiveness. The hard work clearly paid off.

Every frame of Abdi Abdi reflects precision and passion. The choreography is intricate and dynamic, the visuals are dazzling, and the chemistry between Krithi and Kalyani lights up the screen. Both actresses deliver performances that are poised, confident, and refreshingly different from their earlier roles — pushing their creative boundaries.

For Krithi Shetty, long admired for her sweet, girl-next-door charm, Abdi Abdi marks a turning point. The track showcases her sensuality, versatility, and commitment to her craft — transforming her image and captivating audiences in equal measure.

With fans praising her transformation and Abdi Abdi continuing to trend online, Krithi’s months of dedication to belly dance have clearly paid off — and the industry is eager to see what she takes on next.
