Priests in Mathura have taken offense to actress Sunny Leone’s Madhuban, a new music video album that they described as ‘obscene.’ Mathura-based priests have demanded a ban on Sunny Leone’s latest video album, accusing the Bollywood actress Sunny Leone of hurting their religious values and sentiments by performing an “obscene” dance on the iconic song “Madhuban Mein Radhika Naache.”
The song had originally been sung by the renowned legendary Singer Mohammed Rafi for the 1960 film ‘Kohinoor.’ Mathura Based Priest said, “We will go to court if the government does not act against the actress and ban her video album,” said Sant Naval Giri Maharaj of Vrindaban. Unless she withdraws the scene and tenders a public apology, she should not be allowed to remain in India.
Also, Akhil Bhartiya Tirth Purohit Mahasabha’s national president Mahesh Pathak too has taken exception to Sunny’s dance video, saying she has defamed the prestige of Brijbhumi by presenting the song in a “derogatory manner.”
The album was released by Saregama Music on Wednesday video for the party number, sung by Kanika Kapoor and Arindam Chakraborty. As the song is on the subject of love between Krishna and Radha, netizens too, have criticized it for hurting Hindu sentiments due to “sensual” moves by the actress Sunny Leone in her latest dance album.
