We've already seen how deepika Padukone's appearance and bikinis from the Shah Rukh Khan film Pathaan's "Besharam" song stirred controversy. While many were shocked to witness the star heroine's ultra-glamorous side, others were offended by the manner she posed in bikinis. And at this point, the discussion has also taken on a political hue. Right-wing groups have already begun to criticise deepika padukone for donning the little orange (Saffron) two-piece in the song. They claim that dancing in such a manner and donning orange costumes is offensive to Hindus.
Narottam Mishra, the home minister for Madhya Pradesh, has now referred to the song as inappropriate due to its costumes and imagery. According to him, the release of the movie in the state would likely be delayed if the colour of the outfits is not modified and some scenes aren't included. "The song's video was produced by tainted minds. Correct the visuals and the outfits, else granting approval for the release of the movie won't be a thought-out thing," the minister said. "Even deepika is a supporter of this Tukde Tukde Gang after she attended those JNU rallies.
While this was going on, Internet users remarked that deepika had previously worn a saffron bikini on numerous occasions. Besharam is currently trending on YouTube with millions of views, and numerous offensive memes around the song are being circulated. On january 5th, Pathaan, starring Shahrukh and Deepika, will be released in theatres.
