Nora Fatehi finally breaks his silence on the controversy surrounding the song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke from KD: The Devil. In a candid video message, the actor-dancer responded to the criticism, clarified her involvement and made it clear that she was not associated with the Hindi version of the song.Nora explained that the song was recorded a few years ago in Kannada, and at that time, she agreed to participate without any worries. “I recorded this song three years ago in Kannada. When I recorded this song, I said yes because it was a part of a big film and also. Sanjay Duttwho would say no? It was a remake of what I thought was ‘Nayak Nahi Khalnayak Hoon Main’.”
He also revealed that he had no role in the Hindi adaptation and was not aware of the later changes. “When they translated this song, I didn’t find anything inappropriate or foreign, but I don’t understand Kannada, so I just rely on everything they tell me. What they’ve done right now, dubbing Hindi and lyrics, they didn’t take any permission or approval from me. I had no idea,” he added.The actor also recalled his reaction when he attended the song’s launch event, where he first noticed some problems. “When I went to the launch, I saw the Kannada version, and I had a big problem because they used flattering pictures in the lyric video. They even used an AI picture of Sanjay and me. When I saw all that, I was very upset with the event. However, I kept my cool,” continued Nora.Nora shared that she had already voiced her concerns to the team and decided to walk away from the project. “I was conflicted by what I saw. When I saw the Hindi version, I knew it would have a reaction. I told the director that this was not right, and I walked away from the project. I didn’t promote it anywhere. I told the director that my image and reputation are at stake.’Speaking more broadly about the limitations faced by performers, he said, “The thing about us artists is that we have no power, we have little power and control. Fortunately, in Bollywood, many have respected my work. However, there are some industries that don’t care about my opinion. But because of the backlash, they had to take it down, and I’m grateful.”
