Priyanka Chopra has made her much-talked-about return to music with a desi rendition of the holiday classic Last Christmas. The global star, who last released a single several years ago, gave the George Michael hit an Indian twist with tabla beats, festive visuals, and hints of Bollywood flair. The song, released just ahead of the Christmas season, marks Priyanka’s attempt to reconnect with her musical side and her global audience.
However, reactions on social media have been sharply divided. While some fans appreciated her effort to bring a fusion of East and West, others weren’t as kind — calling the rendition “cringe” and “unnecessary.” Memes and comments quickly flooded platforms like X and Instagram, with users debating whether the actress-turned-producer should have stuck to acting instead.
Despite the criticism, Priyanka’s comeback has sparked curiosity and nostalgia for her earlier tracks such as In My City and Exotic. Many also applauded her confidence in experimenting with genres and cultures. Whether you love it or not, Priyanka Chopra’s Last Christmas has once again placed her at the center of pop-culture conversation — proving that she remains one of India’s most globally recognized entertainers.
