Mumbai, March 19 – The National Commission for Women has issued summons to actors Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, along with others, in connection with the controversy surrounding the song "Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke".
Acting under the powers granted by the National Commission for Women Act, 1990, the Commission has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports alleging obscenity and vulgarity in the song.
According to the Commission, the content appears to be sexually suggestive, objectionable, and potentially in violation of provisions under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.
Besides Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, summons have also been issued to lyricist Raqueeb Alam, producer Venkat K Narayana of KVN Group, and director Kiran Kumar. They have been directed to appear before the Commission on March 24, 2026 at 12:30 PM, along with relevant documents.
The Commission stated that failure to appear before it may invite appropriate action as per law.
Earlier, on March 17, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) had also issued a notice regarding the alleged use of objectionable and double-meaning lyrics in the song from the film KD – The Devil.
On Wednesday, Nora had posted on her social media account to present her justification in the matter.
She also stated that she had distanced herself from the project when she learned of the dire consequences the song could lead to, especially because of the lyrics.
She mentioned that initially, she did not understand the meaning of the song, and when she learned of it, she decided to step back from any further involvement of the song, including its promotion.
