Badshah is not known for his wisdom and maturity, he’s known for his music. So galti hamaari hai to expect anything other than songs that work well on reels from him. I don’t want to say anything to Badshah, everyone is limited by their own minds. I would like to reach out to his fans who now think this is how you should compliment a woman. You are not making millions from your music, Badshah fanbois. Toh aapko akal use karni padegi in your day-to-day life. And since most of you complain ki koi ladki aapse baat nahi karti and girls only go after muscled, rich boys and you are the real victim of feminism, here is a very important lesson for you in how to talk to a woman. Do not follow Badshah because inhone toh apna kamaal display kar diya on X (formerly Twitter).

But what did Badshah say to Dua Lipa?

Ek baari bola hota toh bhool chuk samajh ke, log maaf bhi kar dete. But Badshah really doubled down on his “compliment” for Dua Lipa.

First, dismiss a woman’s professional achievements entirely and say she’s good to make babies with rather than music. Second, double down on it (instead of apologising) and say all women should consider this a compliment and tell people who are calling you out they have a dirty soch. Truly an artist at work.

To all the fanbois going hehe and haha over Badshah’s comments and thinking he’s the best bhai ever, stop. Come back to dharti where you will be thrashed if you ever say these words to a woman you don’t know. Here’s how to compliment a woman if you want her to say ‘thank you’ and not ‘bhaag jaa yahaan se’.

Appreciate her actual achievements, not the body parts she was born with

No woman needs another person in their lives reminding them that they have reproductive organs. What they could do with is people praising them for their work. Before telling a woman you want her to have your kids, ask yourself – are you worthy of being a father to her kids? Does she even want kids? Have you just told her that you think being a mom should be the ultimate goal for every woman? In that case, compliment se zyada aapne warning de di ladki ko to stay far, far away from you. Almost well done.

Don’t display your chhichhorapan for sh*ts and giggles

All that can be cute till you’re legally a child. But once you become an adult, beta ji, your thinking should evolve. Chhichhorapan is not the vibe anyone wants around them. So, if you think ‘main bhi kuchh controversial bol ke famous ho jaunga’, think again. Do you really want the kind of fame that shoves you deep into the incel life? Because no woman will want to be seen with a certified loser.

Can you say it to her face?

This is a good test to do if you’re wondering about how to compliment a woman. Before typing it, imagine her reaction if you said it to her face. If Badshah had used this same test, today would be yet another day when we would not be talking about him. But no, he chose to go with the flow of his unique mind. Now, if Badshah had said this to Dua Lipa face-to-face and waited for her reaction, tab banti na masaledaar controversy. Right now, she probably doesn’t even know what is happening and is happily enjoying her praiseworthy career.

Kuchh genuinely achcha nahi bol sakte, toh chup hi raho. Actually, chup hi raho completely. Women don’t really want these shady compliments.
