Nora Fatehi
A controversy has erupted around the recently released song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt. Several complaints were filed, and even summons were issued against the makers. Now, a fatwa has been issued against actor-performer Nora Fatehi over the controversial song and its lyrics, which caused an uproar.
Fatwa issued against Nora Fatehi
The religious body, the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta in Aligarh, issued the fatwa against Nora after the song began receiving backlash online for its lyrics. According to the religious body, the track contains content that they consider objectionable and against Islamic teachings.
Meanwhile, the Union government, on Wednesday, confirmed that the song has been banned following widespread criticism over its lyrics and visuals. Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ashwini Vaishnaw announced the decision in the Lok Sabha while responding to a question raised by Samajwadi Party MP Anand Bhadouria.
About Sarke Chunar song controversy
The song has been facing backlash since its release earlier this week. Some organisations also demanded action against the people involved with the track. Critics alleged that the track contained "vulgar" lyrics and visuals that objectified women. The backlash quickly escalated, with several individuals and organisations calling for action against the creators of the song.
Complaints were filed demanding an FIR and the removal of the track from circulation, intensifying public debate just days before the matter was raised in Parliament.
On Wednesday, Nora, in a detailed video that she shared on Instagram, claimed that she had no role in the Hindi version of the song. She further stated that when the makers explained the translation of the song to her at the time, nothing seemed "inappropriate" or "vulgar." However, she clarified that she does not understand Kannada and had relied entirely on what the team told her.
