Nora Fatehi is in the eye of a storm after religious authorities slammed her latest music video. The song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri’ from KD: The Devil has been declared haram in a fatwa, igniting nationwide debate.
Religious Storm Hits Nora Fatehi!
Fatwa against Nora Fatehi: Bollywood is once again in the eye of a storm. The ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ track from the upcoming film ‘KD: The Devil’, featuring Sanjay Dutt and Nora Fatehi, has become the center of a raging controversy. Now, the authorities and religious bodies have joined the debate in full force.
Chief Mufti Maulana Ebrahim Hussain of the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta in Aligarh didn’t hold back. In a strongly worded statement, he declared that the visuals and lyrics of the song are objectionable under Islamic teachings.

According to the cleric, the use of explicit “real” visuals makes the content haram, forbidden, and a gunah-e-kabira, or a grave sin. He warned that both participating in and promoting such material goes against religious principles.

The fatwa adds fuel to already heated discussion. The song’s allegedly obscene lyrics and provocative dance moves have drawn criticism from multiple quarters. There are worries about its influence on young viewers and societal norms.
The controversy escalated quickly. Reports confirm that Central Government has already banned the song following public backlash.
According to ANI, the Muslim Personal Darul Ifta described the track as containing “obscene dance moves and vulgar content.” In a statement, Maulana Chaudhary Ifraheem Hussain from Uttar Pradesh expressed disappointment over the track, emphasising that such songs violate moral values. The fatwa also urged audiences to boycott the song and appealed to filmmakers and performers to present entertainment responsibly.
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has now entered the fray. The NCW issued summons to both Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt regarding the allegedly obscene content. The Commission took suo motu cognisance of the song by pointing out that it may promote obscenity and vulgarity, potentially violating the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.
But it’s not just the actors. The NCW has also summoned lyricist Raqueeb Alam, producer Venkat K Narayana, and director Kiran Kumar. All parties are expected to appear before the Commission on March 24 at 12:30 pm with strict warnings about consequences if they fail to comply.
