Kannada director Prem’s wife Rakshita has responded to the controversy around the song Sarke Chunar from his film KD. The track has drawn criticism for its vulgar lyrics. Many listeners feel the words contain explicit references to women and sexuality.
Nora Fatehi has also distanced herself from the song. She stated that she was unaware of the meaning, as Hindi or Kannada is not her first language. The song has triggered strong backlash online, with calls to remove it.
Rakshita questioned why similar outrage was not seen for older songs like Dreamum Wakeupum or Choli Ke Peeche. She pointed out that such item numbers have long been part of the industry. These songs are often used to promote films and draw audiences.
However, critics argue that such content contributes to the objectification of women. They believe the issue should not be selective outrage. Instead, there should be a broader discussion on how women are portrayed in popular cinema.
Many netizens agree with Rakshita’s point on consistency. At the same time, they say this does not justify the current song. Earlier, social media was less active, so public criticism of such content remained limited and less visible.
