Former Disney teen star (The Wizards of Waverly Place) Selena Gomez has released a single “Come and Get It” which features Indian tabla percussion music along with other classical Indian beats. Selena sways to the tune and rhythm of Indian beats along with her troupe of dancers.
Selena’s song has been intermingled with Indian tracks in the backdrop with verses sung in Hindi. It then shows waves, a close shot of Gomez and the man she loves. She then starts singing and she wears a red dress while dancing what seems like Indian moves. It then shows images of Gomez emerging in water, sliding between mirrors, in the same meadow wearing a tan dress, and the dancers.
On the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, Gomez performed wearing a prominent Hindu style bindi on her forehead, which had been vetted by some Hindu groups. However this did not stop an Indian American Hindu priest, Rajan Zed, from finding this as a sign of religious insensitivity.
