Sanjay Dutt Summoned by NCW Over Controversial Song

The song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ has faced allegations of obscenity and vulgarity, leading to the National Commission for Women (NCW) summoning Sanjay Dutt. The summons are in connection with concerns raised about the song’s lyrics and choreography, which many have deemed sexually suggestive and objectionable.

The NCW has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports regarding the song, stating, “The National Commission for Women, in exercise of its powers under the NCW Act, 1990, has taken suo motu cognizance of media reports alleging obscenity and vulgarity in the song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’.”

Individuals summoned, including Dutt, are required to appear before the NCW on March 24, 2026, along with relevant documents. The NCW has warned that failure to appear may invite appropriate action as per law.

The Hindi version of the song was released earlier in March 2026 and has since been removed from YouTube following widespread criticism. The song is part of the upcoming Kannada film ‘KD: The Devil’, directed by Prem and starring Dhruv Sarja.

Nora Fatehi, who recorded the Kannada version of the song three years ago, expressed her confusion regarding the controversy, stating, “I don’t understand the Kannada language, in which the original song, Sarse Ninna, is composed.”

Raqueeb Alam, who worked on the lyrics, noted that he was instructed to do a literal translation from the Kannada version, which he followed. He had previously warned the makers that the Hindi lyrics were vulgar.

The NCW’s involvement highlights ongoing concerns about the portrayal of women in media and the impact of suggestive content in popular culture. Observers suggest that this incident may lead to a broader discussion about the standards of decency in entertainment.

As the situation develops, it remains to be seen how the summoned individuals will respond and what actions the NCW may take if they do not comply with the summons. Details remain unconfirmed.
