Nora Fatehi’s ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ sparks row over ‘vulgar’ lyrics; Armaan Malik calls it ‘new low’

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.

The lyrics have been penned by Raqeeb Alam, with music composed by Arjun Janya.

Joining the critics, popular singer Armaan Malik termed the song “a new low”.

“This showed up on my timeline and I had to replay it just to make sure I heard it right. Sad to see commercial songwriting hit a new low..,” he posted on X.

In another post, he added: “I am genuinely at a loss of words. Wish I could unhear it.”

The song also features veteran actor Sanjay Dutt.

Produced by Venkat K Narayana under the banner of KVN Productions and directed by Prem, the film stars Dhruva Sarja, Shilpa Shetty and Ravichandran in key roles.
