KD The Devil director Prem's wife SNAPS after Nora Fatehi song pulled down, asks why Choli Ke Peeche was fine

The controversy surrounding Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke from the upcoming film KD The Devil is quickly turning into one of the most heated debates in recent times. Featuring Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, the song has been slammed for its suggestive lyrics and provocative choreography, triggering reactions from audiences, celebrities, and even legal authorities.

As the outrage continues to spiral, filmmaker Prem’s wife and former actor Rakshita has now stepped in with a strong and layered response. Instead of simply defending the song, she has questioned the larger pattern of reactions, asking why certain content is accepted while similar material suddenly becomes controversial.

Rakshita Questions Selective Outrage

Rakshita took to Instagram Stories after being repeatedly tagged in posts criticizing the song. Addressing the chatter directly, she wrote, “Yes yes I have seen it all. I know you guys are tagging me in random people's posts. the fact is I know what's written. I know what's happening. My stand on whether I am for it or against it doesn't matter, when songs like Peelings, Dreamum Wakeupum, like Choli ke Peeche or 100s like these came out it seemed fine. When an entire film came out talking about how the actors just spoke about have sexual intercourse throughout the film it seemed fine. but one song creates massive news. still not justifying, just asking so I can understand this.”

Her words strike at the heart of the debate. She is not outright dismissing criticism but questioning why outrage appears inconsistent, especially when Indian cinema has a long history of bold songs and themes that were widely consumed without similar backlash.

Songs are made everyday, bad, good, provocative, special numbers. Today people are watching more bloodshed films, sexual content in films, everything pretty openly.

Defending Prem And His Work

Beyond the larger conversation, Rakshita firmly defended Prem, making it clear that reducing a filmmaker’s work to a single controversial track is unfair. She expressed frustration over how quickly narratives turn personal.

She wrote, “One song doesn't mean he is a horrible writer or does everything for gimmicks? Wrong. Just because some films don't do well as the others doesn't mean he is a bad maker… wrong. Do you have the rights to question him? Yes you do have the rights to ask him why, yes you do. Do you have the rights to abuse him? Nooo you don't. When you abuse him or like some random lady spat badly saying it was personal?”

Her response highlights a growing issue in digital discourse where criticism often crosses the line into direct attacks, shifting focus away from the work itself.

A Reality Check On Industry Struggles

Rakshita also used the moment to talk about the challenges faced by filmmakers, especially in the Kannada film industry. She pointed out that creating content is only one part of the battle, while reaching audiences and securing distribution remains equally tough.

She added, “Songs are made everyday, bad, good, provocative, special numbers. Today people are watching more bloodshed films, sexual content in films, everything pretty openly. Prem is a Kannadiga as much all of you are. You all have the rights on him, to question him, to tell him what is right and what is not, but saying anything about his past work about how gimmicky he is, let me tell you something today selling a film to an OTT, a channel, is the biggest challenge for a Kannada director… he finds it extremely difficult to reach at any heights or even close to other cinema markets.”

This part of her statement adds context, suggesting that controversies like these can have wider implications for regional cinema that already operates under pressure.

Controversy Escalates Beyond Social Media

The backlash against Sarke Chunar has now gone far beyond online debates. Public figures like Kangana Ranaut and Armaan Malik have openly criticized the track, calling its lyrics and visuals inappropriate.

Legal action has also entered the picture. A plea has reportedly been filed with the Central Board of Film Certification seeking a ban on the song, with concerns raised about its explicit nature and potential impact on younger audiences. Alongside this, a criminal complaint has been lodged with the Delhi Police Cyber Cell.

In a significant development, the Hindi version of the song has already been removed from YouTube, adding fuel to the ongoing controversy.

Despite the storm, Rakshita ended her note on a hopeful tone, urging people to be patient and trust the team. With KD The Devil set to release on April 30, the debate around Sarke Chunar has ensured that the film is already under a massive spotlight, long before it reaches theatres.
