Last month, Sanjay Dutt also appeared before the NCW regarding the same matter and submitted a written apology, expressing regret for any “unintended” harm caused to society through the song. During the hearing led by NCW Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar, concerns were raised over the alleged vulgarity and indecent representation of women in the track, along with questions surrounding intent, awareness and accountability in mainstream entertainment.
Earlier, Nora Fatehi had failed to appear before the Commission, citing that she was abroad, and had requested a fresh hearing date. The actor had also distanced herself from the Hindi version of the song, stating that she had only shot for the Kannada version and that her permission was not taken for its Hindi adaptation and release.
The controversy around Sarke Chunar began after the Hindi version of the song was released on YouTube on March 15. The track quickly sparked public outrage over its allegedly sexually explicit lyrics and visuals, leading to widespread criticism online. Following the backlash, the makers removed the Hindi version from YouTube, although the song continued circulating across social media and other digital platforms. The lyricist, singer and director associated with the song also issued public apologies amid the escalating controversy.
As part of corrective measures discussed during the proceedings, Sanjay Dutt reportedly committed to sponsoring the education of 50 tribal girl children, framing it as a step towards social welfare and women’s empowerment. Meanwhile, the controversy continues to keep KD: The Devil under intense public scrutiny
