Mumbai: A recently released dance track featuring Nora Fatehi has stirred controversy online, with criticism pouring in over its lyrics and presentation. The song, titled Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, dropped on Sunday and is part of the upcoming Kannada film KD: The Devil.
The track, which also features Sanjay Dutt, showcases Nora Fatehi in a high-energy performance set in a stylised dance-bar backdrop. While some viewers appreciated the choreography and her screen presence, a significant number of social media users expressed discomfort, calling the lyrics inappropriate and overly suggestive.
