Farah Khan In Legal Trouble? Hindustani Bhau Moves Bombay High Court, Seeks FIR Against Her Over Holi ‘Chhapri’ Remark

Hindustani Bhau, a social media influencer and former Bigg Boss contestant, has taken legal action against filmmaker Farah Khan. He claimed her recent comments about Holi as a festival of “Chhapris” have wounded Hindu sentiments. And that this could potentially lead to communal discord. He has approached the Bombay High Court to request the registration of a First Information Report (FIR) against her.

Hindustani Bhau Moves To HC Over Farah Khan’s Holi ‘Chhapri’ Remark

Hindustani Bhau’s complaints stem from his assertion that Farah Khan’s remarks during a recent episode of Celebrity MasterChef were derogatory towards the Holi festival. In addition, he previously lodged a complaint at the Khar Police Station in Mumbai, seeking legal action against her for her controversial statements.

His complaint also called for strict measures to be taken against Farah under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including 196, 299, 302, and 353. “It has been said that Holi is the festival of Chhapri people. Is it the festival of Chhapri people? You? It’s not like you have never worked in the film industry, or you don’t know about the world, or you haven’t done a reality show, or you don’t know what Sanatan Dharma is. It’s not like that, right? Today, you are talking about Chhapri? From our Prime Minister Modi ji, to all the sadhus and saints, and to the 100 crore people of India, Holi is celebrated. And you are calling all these people Chhapri?” he told media later.

“You are insulting Sanatan Dharma? And this is not something new for the Bollywood people. This is not something new. From the beginning of Bollywood, from the beginning, whenever they saw it, they only insulted our Sanatan Dharma, they only insulted our deities and goddesses. Whenever you see in their films, they always presented our Hindu Dharma, they always presented it as filth,” the former Bigg Boss contestant added.

As of now, Farah Khan, who serves as a judge on Celebrity MasterChef, has not publicly commented on the matter.
