Sarke Chunar Row: Kannada Film Director’s Wife Breaks Silence Over Nora Fatehi Song

Singer Mangli provided vocals for the Kannada song Sarse Ninna Seraga Sarse from Druva Sarja’s film KD, which was released in Hindi as Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke. Soon after the song's release, many took offence to its graphic and problematic lyrics. After considerable backlash, Mangli took to Instagram to issue an apology and announce that a revised version of the song featuring Sanjay Dutt and Nora Fatehi would be released.

Singer Mangli had sung the controversial song from KD featuring Nora Fatehi.

Mangli took to her Instagram account to release a note that read: “Out of respect for public sentiment, the song has been removed from all platforms. I sincerely apologies to each and every one of you for the unintended mistake. It was never meant to hurt anyone's sentiments, and we truly regret the oversight.”

“The corrected version of the lyrics has now been updated, and the revised version of the song will be released today evening. We assure you that such a situation will not arise again,” she further wrote, adding, “I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the makers of the film and music director Arjun Janya sir, for whom I have the highest regard.”
