Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke Controversy: Sanjay Dutt Apologises To National Commission For Women; To Sponsor Education For 50 Children

Sanjay Dutt’s advocate stated that the actor told the NCW he was unaware of the lyrics of the song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke. A major controversy erupted in March with the release of the song “Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke” from the Kannada pan-India film KD: The Devil. The song, featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, faced heavy criticism for its suggestive lyrics and choreography. Following the backlash, the National Commission for Women summoned actors Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt, and others over concerns of obscenity and vulgarity in the song. On Monday, April 27, Sanjay appeared before the NCW and issued an apology.

Sanjay Dutt Apologises To NCW Amid Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke Controversy

Sanjay was seen entering the NCW office on Monday afternoon, arriving with his lawyer after being summoned. According to ANI, the actor’s advocate said, “Sanjay Dutt today appeared before the National Commission for Women and, out of his utmost regard for women and for the commission, he said that he was not aware of the wording but still, without prejudice, he has offered an apology, and he has also offered voluntarily to sponsor education for 50 children from the tribal community. He said when it was recorded, it was recorded in some other language. (sic)”

Last month, the NCW issued a statement saying that the content “prima facie appears to be sexually suggestive, objectionable, and violative of provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, IT Act, and POCSO Act.” The NCW added, “The National Commission for Women, in exercise of its powers under the NCW Act, 1990, has taken suo motu cognisance of media reports alleging obscenity and vulgarity in the song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’.”

About The Song And Controversy

Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke is part of the pan-India Kannada film KD: The Devil, directed by Prems. The song features Nora Fatehi, with Sanjay Dutt also making an appearance. Its opening verse is a double entendre describing sex in graphic detail. As the first stanza progresses, it becomes clear that the description refers to a drink and a bottle. It was most likely alcohol, rather than genitalia, as previously suggested. The song’s choreography was also criticised for being overly suggestive and objectifying the dancer.

The lyrical video for the song has since been removed from YouTube. The song was uploaded in multiple languages—Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada. It was shared by Anand Audio, the film’s official music partner.

Last month, Nora Fatehi addressed the controversy on Instagram, sharing a video. In her caption, she wrote, “I would hate for anyone to think I endorse this. Thank you for the backlash because of this pressure; the filmmakers have luckily taken it down.” The song has sparked backlash from social media users and politicians alike.
