Last Updated: Shraddha, Isha and Divyanka will be seen as special guests in the last episode of the cooking-based reality show, Laughter Chefs: Unlimited Entertainment Season 2. Shaky, singer Sanju Rathod's new track featuring Isha Malviya, has taken the internet by storm and has indeed become a viral sensation. As per the makers, the song is a fresh Marathi Pop anthem that blends playful Afrobeat grooves with everyday desi charm. Several influencers have been sharing dancing reels on Instagram and now actress Shraddha Arya has also expressed her love for the new peppy track. In a video surfacing on Instagram, Isha and Shraddha could be seen on the sets of a show along with Divyanka Tripathi and the trio is seen happily vibing to the song. As the clip progresses, the Bigg Boss 17 fame laughs and says, 'Mujhe laga kyaa gaa rahi hai. It's Shaky. (I thought what are you singing? It's Shaky)." Replying to her the Kumkum Bhagya actress said, 'Ye mere babies' ka favourite song hai. Wo aise Shaky Shaky karte hain (This is my babies' favourite song. They do Shaky Shaky like this)." Divyanka, too, joined the fun and asked them, 'Ye Shaky Shaky sabka favourite chal rha hai kya. Baar baar wahi kyu baj raha tha. (Is this Shaky Shaky everyone's favourite?

Earlier, sharing her experience of working on the Marathi song, Isha said, 'The overall experience has been excellent. This is a stepping stone into the Marathi industry. I've probably listened to Sanju's Gulabi Sadi over 50 times. When I received the opportunity to collaborate with him, it was incredibly exciting because I've always admired his work," as quoted by India Forums. 'In the beginning of the song, the female character lip-syncs phrases intended for the male character. I sat with Sanju for 20-25 minutes to learn the phrases before spending hours perfecting the lip-sync and emotions. There is a big difference between simply lip-syncing and truly executing it with understanding," she added. Coming back to the trio, Shraddha, Isha and Divyanka will reportedly be seen as special guests in the last episode of the cooking-based reality show, Laughter Chefs: Unlimited Entertainment Season 2.
