Veteran actor Sanjay Dutt appeared before the National Commission for Women (NCW) following a summons issued in connection with the song “Sarke Chunar”, which also features Nora Fatehi. The actor expressed regret over the concerns raised and assured full cooperation with the authorities.
The NCW had taken cognisance of complaints alleging that certain visuals and lyrics in the song were objectionable and potentially disrespectful towards women. The commission subsequently issued notices to those associated with the project, seeking clarification and accountability.
During his appearance, Sanjay Dutt reportedly stated that there was no intention to offend sentiments or promote inappropriate content. He acknowledged the concerns raised by the commission and conveyed an apology, emphasizing that artists must remain sensitive to societal values and public perception.
Sources indicate that the actor also assured the NCW that he would be more mindful in future projects and would review content more carefully before release. The commission, on its part, reiterated the importance of responsible representation in media and entertainment, especially in content that reaches a wide audience.
The controversy surrounding “Sarke Chunar” has sparked debate on creative freedom versus social responsibility, with many calling for stricter scrutiny of content that may reinforce stereotypes or objectification.
The NCW is expected to continue its review of the matter and may issue further recommendations or directives based on its findings.
