The actress was reportedly called by the commission on May 6 and has now been asked to appear before the authorities on May 7 at 11:30 am. The controversy erupted earlier this year after the Hindi version of the song ‘Sarke Chunar’ was released online. Soon after its release in March, the track sparked widespread criticism across social media platforms, with several users objecting to what they described as explicit and suggestive lyrics. Questions were also raised about the portrayal of women in the song, along with concerns regarding accountability and intent behind the content. According to reports, Nora Fatehi had earlier distanced herself from the controversy by clarifying that she had only shot for the Kannada version of the song and that her consent was allegedly not taken for the Hindi adaptation.

The song has faced backlash from industry bodies and public figures, with the All Indian Cine Workers Association (AICWA) among those raising objections. Following complaints filed with the CBFC and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the Hindi version of the track has since been taken down from YouTube. Amid the growing uproar, former actress Rakshita, who is married to the film’s director Prem, has addressed the controversy through a series of Instagram notes.

She wrote, “Yes yes I have seen it all. I know you guys are tagging me in random people's posts. the fact is I know what's written. I know what's happening. My stand on whether I am for it or against it doesn't matter, when songs like Peelings, Dreamum Wakeupum, like Choli ke Peeche or 100s like these came out it seemed fine.

Nora Fatehi slams trolls after appeal for World Peace amid US-Iran tensions Bollywood actor and dancer Nora Fatehi has strongly responded to online criticism after sharing a heartfelt appeal for world peace amid rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly the ongoing conflict involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Earlier this week, Fatehi took to Instagram with a video message encouraging unity, compassion and peace as global unrest continued to make headlines. She reassured fans that she is currently safe in India and expressed concern over the anxiety many people feel due to repeated conflicts and disturbing visuals emerging from the region. However, her message drew unexpected backlash on social media, with some users misinterpreting her call for peace or criticising her involvement in a geopolitical issue. In response, Fatehi posted a follow-up video on March 3, where she defended her stance and addressed her critics directly. In the video, she said people have “lost touch with comprehension skills and listening skills,” and urged critics to think more deeply before reacting. She emphasised that her message about peace and unity was meant for everyone, regardless of nationality, religion or background, adding, “If you speak against chaos and want people to live in peace, and if you have a problem with that, then you need to go check yourself.
