Jacqueline Fernandez’ Makeup Artist Claims Naatu Naatu’s Oscar Win Is Rigged

New Delhi: Even as India celebrates the historic Oscars 2023 in which RRR’s Naatu Naatu won the Best Original Song award, actor Jacqueline Fernandez’ makeup artist Shaan Muttathil has made a rather shocking remark on a social post.

Muttathil took a dig at the Oscars 2023 winners on Instagram and alleged that the victories at the Academy Awards are rigged and further claimed that one can buy these with money. “Hahahah this is so funny. I thought only in India we could buy awards lol. But now even the Oscars. Money and what all we can get when we have the money. Even Oscars lol,” he wrote. The comment has now been deleted.

Notably, the song ‘Applause’ from the Jacqueline Fernandez starrer ‘Tell It Like a Woman’ was also in the race for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category. Other nominations in the category included Lady Gaga’s ‘Hold My Hand’ from ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, Rihanna’s ‘Lift Me Up’ from ‘Black Panther: Wakanda Forever’ and Son Lux, Mitski, David Byrne’s ‘This Is A Life’ from Everything Everywhere All at Once.
