Nora Fatehi Faces Fresh Notice Over Controversial Song Amid Ongoing Criticism
Popular actress and dancer Nora Fatehi has once again come under scrutiny as the National Commission for Women issued
Popular actress and dancer Nora Fatehi has once again come under scrutiny as the National Commission for Women issued a fresh notice regarding her recent controversial song. The actress has been directed to appear in person before the commission on April 27, 2026, after failing to attend the previous hearing held earlier this month.
According to officials, Nora Fatehi did not appear personally during the April 6 hearing and was instead represented by her legal counsel. The commission expressed dissatisfaction over her absence and has now made it clear that her personal appearance is mandatory, calling it a final opportunity to present her stance. The notice was issued under the direction of Chairperson Vijaya Rahatkar.
The controversy revolves around a song from the film D The Devil, which has faced backlash for allegedly containing content that undermines the dignity of women. Critics have pointed out that both the lyrics and choreography present women in an inappropriate and objectified manner. During the hearing, the film’s director Prem and lyricist Raqueeb Alam appeared before the commission, along with representatives of the production company.

The commission strongly criticized the content, stating that claims of ignorance from the creators are not acceptable. It emphasized that such material can negatively influence society, especially when widely consumed through media platforms. Those involved in the production submitted a written apology and acknowledged that the content may have had an adverse impact on cultural and social values.
In addition, the concerned parties have reportedly committed to participating in social initiatives focused on women’s rights and empowerment over the next three months. They are expected to submit a detailed report to the commission outlining their activities.
The song, which features Nora Fatehi alongside actor Sanjay Dutt, has drawn mixed reactions. While some praised its production and performance, many criticized it for crossing cultural and ethical boundaries. The issue continues to spark debate about creative freedom versus social responsibility in the entertainment industry.
