NCW Cracks Down on Badshah’s ‘Tittri’ for Misogyny
1 min readFresh off addressing one scandal, the National Commission for Women turns to rapper Badshah’s ‘Tittri’, summoning him and collaborators to explain the song’s alleged vulgarity. The March 25 directive comes as platforms yank the video amid FIRs and public fury.
Invoking suo motu powers, NCW cited media reports on the track’s lewd content, linking it to violations of the Indecent Representation Act, IT laws, and more. School uniforms and bus scenes amplified criticisms of promoting inappropriate fantasies.
Badshah (Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodiya), along with directors Mahi Sandhu, Joban Sandhu, and producer Hiten, must attend the 12:30 PM session with documents—or face repercussions.
Parallelly, NCW has summoned KD: The Devil’s ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ crew, including Nora Fatehi, Sanjay Dutt, and others, for March 24, signaling a broader audit of female-centric controversies.
Rooted in Haryana complaints that led to FIRs and Badshah’s apology, ‘Tittri’ exemplifies tensions between commercial hits and moral lines. Removed online, it underscores platforms’ quick retreat under pressure.
These summons reflect empowered oversight in an era of viral content. As hearings unfold, they could herald stricter self-regulation, urging the industry to prioritize respect over shock value.
