(Web Desk) – Police have registered an FIR against Bollywood filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan for allegedly making derogatory remarks about the Hindu festival of Holi.
The FIR has been filed against Farah Khan under sections 196, 299, 302, and 353 of the Indian Penal Code.
Farah Khan, currently a judge on Celebrity MasterChef, made a comment about the festival of Holi that sparked backlash among netizens. She said, “Holi is the favorite festival of all the chhapri people.” For those unfamiliar, the term “chhapri” is considered a casteist slur. Khan was heavily trolled on social media for the same.
The complaint has been filed by Vikash Fhatak, popularly known as Hindustani Bhau, through his lawyer Advocate Ali Kaashif Khan Deshmukh.
As per the latest reports, the complaint was registered today at Khar Police Station, seeking legal action against Farah for her controversial statement made during an episode of the television show Celebrity MasterChef on February 20.
