Mumbai/IBNS: Actor Nora Fatehi’s song “Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke” from the upcoming Kannada film KD: The Devil has sparked backlash over its controversial double-meaning lyrics and suggestive choreography.
The song, released last Sunday, has received mixed reactions, with several viewers criticising it for allegedly promoting vulgarity and poor taste.
Sung by Mangli, the track is set in a dance bar, where Nora performs in a revealing ghagra choli amid a crowd of men, featuring provocative dance moves.

"Pahle Uthale, Ander Wo Dale
Neeche Ek Boond Na Girae
Khali Kar Ke Nikale
Mujh Pe Na Girana Mujhe Lagta Hai Dar
Bhed Khul Jaae Na Sambhal Ke Jaana Ghar
Choosega ya chatega, jo karega kar"
