The Hindi version of the new single from KD: The Devil, 'Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke', has become a point of conversation, nationwide. Now, the Central Government has stepped in and officially banned the song citing obscene lyrics and visuals that offend public decency.
In the Parliament, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that freedom of speech cannot be absolute when content violates societal norms. This decision follows widespread outrage, complaints from state women’s commissions, and concerns raised by the National Human Rights Commission.
The video for the song features features Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt. Nora Fatehi explained that she had no control over the final version and was unaware of the objectionable lyrics. She said that the responsibility lies with the creators, not the performers.
The Hindi lyricist has publicly distanced himself from the song, and the makers have removed the controversial version. The Central Government’s decisive action sends a message about the limits of creativity and accountability in multi-language film promotions.
This issue has sparked a debate on artistic responsibility, language adaptation, and the Central Government's power to regulate content when it conflicts with public morality. It marks a rare moment where politics and pop culture collide.
