Neha Kakkar shared new photos on Instagram on Sunday.

Neha was seen in a black crop top and matching black pants with glamourous makeup and hair as she posed for solo pictures in front of a brown door. She wore white sneakers with her look. In one of the photos she shared, Neha Kakkar could be seen striking a dance pose with her one hand in the air. Fans flooded the comments section of Neha’s post with fire and heart emojis. One person commented, “Neha is the best.” Neha’s husband, singer Rohanpreet Singh, also commented on her photos, and wrote, “My princess.”

Earlier on Saturday, Neha had taken to Instagram Stories and written, "If talking in such a manner, saying such bad things about me, abusing me... makes them feel good and if they think it will ruin my day. Then I'm sorry to inform them that I'm too blessed to have bad days. This God's child is always happy because God himself/herself is keeping me happy." Neha's cryptic note came after she faced backlash on social media for her new song O Sajna, a remake of singer Falguni Pathak's famous song Maine Payal Hai Chhankai.

Falguni, on the other hand, had recently reshared fans' posts on Instagram Stories, indirectly showing her disapproval of Neha's version of her old song. In a recent interview she had revealed her reaction to Neha Kakkar's remix of Maine Payal Hai Chhankai. “I got to know about the remixed version three-four days back. First reaction was not good. I was like, mujhe bas ulti aani baaki thi, aisa ho gaya tha. (I was about to puke, it was like that),” Falguni had told Delhi Times.

The original song was released in 1999 and featured actors Vivan Bhatena and Nikhila Palat, and was a massive hit. Priyank Sharma and Dhanashree Verma featured in the music video of Neha’s new version, O Sajna. Tanishk Bagchi has composed the music for O Sajna.
