Nora Fatehi has been trending online after appearing in the song Sarke Chunar from KD – The Devil, which faced heavy backlash for its alleged vulgar and offensive lyrics. Now, the actress has responded strongly, claiming the Hindi version of the track was created without her knowledge or consent.
Nora Fatehi addresses ‘Sarke Chunar’ controversy
Amid the ongoing controversy around Sarke Chunar, featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, the actress clarified that she was not involved in the creation of the controversial Hindi version. In a video statement, she revealed that she originally shot the song in Kannada nearly three years ago as part of a major film.
According to Nora, the version she worked on was properly explained to her on set and did not contain anything objectionable. She was unaware that the makers would later release a Hindi version with what she described as inappropriate and vulgar lyrics. “They didn’t take any permission from me,” she stated, also alleging that an AI-generated image of her and Sanjay Dutt was used for the poster.
The actress further shared that upon seeing the Hindi version at the launch, she had warned the director about potential backlash. However, her concerns were ignored. She added that lacking strong backing in the industry often leads to artists’ opinions being overlooked. As a result, she chose to distance herself from the project and refused to promote it.
In her statement, Nora emphasized that she does not endorse the controversial version and even thanked fans for raising their voices. She noted that the backlash ultimately pressured the filmmakers into taking the song down.
Responding to a fan’s support, she reiterated that her biggest issue was the unauthorized creation and release of the Hindi version in a “vulgar, inappropriate way” without informing her.
The actress also highlighted a broader concern, suggesting that such practices—where artists’ approvals are sidelined—are not uncommon in the industry.
