Background of the song controversy

This controversy started as soon as the song was released in March. People strongly criticized the lyrics and dance of the song on social media. Many people believed that women were being misrepresented in the name of entertainment. NCW took suo motu cognizance of this and declared the song obscene. The hearing was held under the chairmanship of the Commission, in which emphasis was laid on maintaining the dignity of women.

Sanjay Dutt also gave a written apology before the commission. He said that his intention was not to hurt anyone’s sentiments. According to his lawyer, Sanjay Dutt has respect for women and is in favor of raising awareness in this matter. The song had already been removed from YouTube. This incident again gives rise to debate on the portrayal of women in Bollywood and South Indian cinema.
