On Thursday, Nora Fatehi was summoned by the National Commission for Women for questioning over the “Sarke Chunar” song row. Earlier, Dhurandhar star Sanjay Dutt, who also features in the song alongside Fatehi, had appeared in connection with the viral track.
Actress and dancer Nora Fatehi was asked to appear before the National Commission for Women on Thursday, May 7, at 11:30 a.m. for questioning in connection with the controversy surrounding the song “Sarke Chunar.” Addressing the issue, Fatehi clarified that she never intended to hurt anyone’s sentiments.
Nora Fatehi apologises
The Hindi version of the song from the Kannada film was released online on March 14. Following its release, the song captured attention for its obscene and vulgar lyrics, facing numerous criticisms online. Later, NCW initiated legal proceedings, citing indecent representation of women.

She further stated, "It was just a situation that I was put in, and there was no intention to offend anybody. But of course, I have to be responsible as an artist.

Sanjay Dutt pledges education support for 50 girls
Before Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt was also summoned before the National Commission for Women in connection with the song.
Reportedly, the Dhurandhar star, along with his legal team led by advocate Hemant Shah, apologised before NCW and pledged that he would be sponsoring education for 50 girls for their upcoming academic year, particularly from communities in Nagpur, Maharashtra.
About the controversy
The controversy ignited after the song gained attention for its vulgar lyrics and visuals that objectified women from the Hindi version of the song. Critics were quick to pick on it, spreading it all over the Internet.
As the backlash escalated, the song was pulled down from YouTube, and a complaint has been filed with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.
