Farah Khan Faces Backlash Over Holi Remarks, Police Complaint Filed

The Bollywood filmmaker referred to Holi as a 'festival for chhapris' during a TV show, sparking criticism and legal action.

Farah Khan, Bollywood director and Celebrity MasterChef judge, called Holi a 'festival for chhapris' on a recent episode of the show.
The term 'chhapri' is widely regarded as derogatory, often used to describe rowdy or uncultured individuals.
Vikash Fhatak, also known as Hindustani Bhau, filed a police complaint against Khan, alleging her remarks insulted Hindu religious sentiments.
The complaint accuses Khan of potentially inciting communal tension and seeks legal action under sections of the Indian Penal Code.
Social media reactions to Khan's comments have been polarizing, with some demanding an apology and others debating the broader context of her statement.
