Actor and performer Nora Fatehi has responded firmly to criticism surrounding her song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke from the film KD: The Devil.
After facing backlash over the song’s lyrics, she addressed the issue through a clarification video, which sparked further debate on social media.
When several users questioned her explanation, the actor chose to respond directly, defending her position and calling out what she described as misunderstandings of her statement.
Clarifies She Was Unaware of Hindi Version
In her response, Nora stated that she had only agreed to perform for the original Kannada version of the song and was not aware of the Hindi version that later drew criticism for its allegedly vulgar lyrics.
She emphasised that she neither performed nor approved the Hindi version, adding that her image was associated with it without her consent. The actor urged critics to direct their concerns toward the creators responsible for the controversial version.
Strong Reactions to Online Comments
As criticism intensified, Nora Fatehi responded sharply to several comments, expressing frustration over repeated misinterpretation of her clarification.
She maintained that her intent was to present her side of the story and clarified that she does not support the Hindi version of the track. The actor also hinted at potential legal action against those responsible for releasing the version without her knowledge.
Broader Debate on Industry Practices
Addressing criticism related to her performance style, Nora pointed out that similar choreography and styling have long been part of mainstream entertainment, both in India and globally. She highlighted that the current controversy is centered on lyrics rather than dance or costume.
She also acknowledged feedback from audiences, stating that she is increasingly focusing on independent projects and being more selective about her work moving forward.
