About KD: The Devil song controversy
The song controversy sparked in March this year, when the song Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, featuring Nora and Sanjay, received online backlash over its sexually suggestive lyrics and provocative choreography. Nora claimed that she did not know the song’s meaning when she shot for it. Raqueeb, who penned the Hindi lyrics, said he only translated what Prem had written in Kannada.

Legal petitions and formal complaints were also filed. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and State Women's Commissions for Haryana and Karnataka also stepped in to look into the matter.
