Nora Fatehi ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ Song: The controversy surrounding the song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ from KD: The Devil has intensified with a fatwa now issued against actor-dancer Nora Fatehi in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh.
The track featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt has drawn sharp criticism over its lyrics and visuals, which a religious body termed “against Islamic teachings” and “vulgar.”

Nora Fatehi Breaks Silence on ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ Song Controversy
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.
“When I shot this song three years ago, I said yes to it because it was a part of a big film, it was with a big icon, Sanjay Dutt, who would say no to working with him? He’s such an icon. And it was a remake, at least that’s what I thought, of ‘Nayak Nahi Khalnayak Hoon Main’, which is also a very iconic song,” Nora said.
She further claimed 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.
