Actress Pooja Bhatt is known for speaking her mind (a tad too much though). Her latest grouse is against rapper Yo Yo Honey Singh who has done a new version of the ’90s hit song Dheere dheere se meri zindagi from the film Aashiqui, made by Pooja B’s father, the grand uncle of Bollywood, Mahesh Bhatt.

Once the track went on air, with Hrithik Roshan and Sonam Kapoor in its music video, the actress tweeted, “In a world full of imitations there’s no beating the original Dheere dheere (sung by Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal).

Well, Pooja dear, get with it please.
