Actor Nora Fatehi has alleged that social media influencers were paid to target the song 'Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke' from the Kannada film KD: The Devil even before its full release. Speaking on the Dream With Dr Sheen podcast, she said she was not surprised by the backlash and claimed to have information about who paid and how much.
The song faced criticism over its lyrics and visuals after short clips surfaced online. Fatehi, who does not understand Kannada, said she relied on the team's explanation and was not asked for permission when the song was dubbed into Hindi. The controversy reached the National Commission for Women, before which she appeared on May 7.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The claim of a paid campaign shifts the narrative from artistic criticism to organised targeting. Under Section 67 of the IT Act, intermediaries must remove content that is obscene, but proving paid coordination requires evidence from financial trails or platform data. The NCW hearing on May 7 will have considered the song's lyrics and visuals under its mandate to examine complaints of women's rights violations. Fatehi's podcast allegations are not evidence in a legal sense, but they could influence public perception and potentially prompt further inquiries if she provides the information she claims to have.
