Farah Khan Faces Backlash Over 'Holi Festival Of Chhapri' Remark; Complaint Filed by Hindustani Bhau
Bollywood choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan has landed in hot water after her recent comment about Holi, calling it a festival of “chhapris,” sparked outrage on social media. Vikash Fhatak, better known as Hindustani Bhau, has filed a complaint against her at Khar Police Station, Mumbai, accusing her of hurting Hindu sentiments.
According to reports by IANS, Bhau expressed his disappointment over Farah's controversial remark, claiming it disrespected a sacred festival and could potentially incite communal disharmony. His complaint demands strict action under sections 196, 299, 302, and 353 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
What Did Farah Khan Say?
The controversy began when Farah, who is currently seen on Celebrity MasterChef, commented on the festival of Holi, stating, “Saare chhapri logon ka favourite festival Holi hota hai,” implying that Holi is favored by people she labeled as “chhapris.”
Her remark quickly went viral, leading to a social media storm. Netizens were furious, accusing Farah of insensitivity and questioning her choice of words. One user commented, “Do you ever talk about any of your festivals? Disgusting," while another added, “What da heck does she mean …. Aur chhapri… ha ha ha look who’s talking.”
Not the First Controversy
Farah Khan is no stranger to controversy. Recently, she also made headlines after taking a playful dig at singer Udit Narayan over his kissing controversy. In a YouTube video featuring her best friend Sania Mirza, her son Izhaan Mirza Malik, and her sister Anam Mirza, Farah jokingly referenced the incident, leaving Sania in splits.
Will Legal Action Be Taken?
As the complaint awaits action, all eyes are on the authorities to see how they handle this high-profile case. Neither Farah Khan nor her representatives have publicly responded to the controversy yet.
