Bollywood’s famous singer Sukhwinder Singh has been embroiled in controversies for dancing wearing shoes on Hanuman Chalisa. Sukhwinder was shooting for a music video at Chet Singh Ghat in Varanasi. Co-artists were also seen dancing with him in shoes during this time. Hindu organizations have objected to this.
After the Corona period, now the shooting phase has started again in Varanasi. On Monday, famous singer Sukhwinder Singh arrived at Chet Singh Fort in Shivala of Bhelupur to shoot Hanuman Chalisa. During this the entire Chet Singh Fort and Ghat was resonating with the chaupais of Hanuman Chalisa. The artists were dancing to the tunes wearing saffron flags and saffron clothes in their hands. Sukhwinder himself was dressed in a Brahmin costume, while the co-artist was accompanied by flags in saffron clothes. All were wearing shoes during the video shoot.
Sukhwinder was seen shooting something like this.
Sukhwinder said – Feet were burning due to scorching sun..
The objection of the devotees is that this is a matter of reverence, at least the singer should not have worn shoes at the ghat while shooting this video. In this case, Sukhwinder Singh says that his intention was not to hurt anyone’s sentiments. The stones are burning due to strong sunlight, so the artists are wearing shoes. Also told that Hanuman Jayanti is near and in view of this the album is being released on 7th April.
Swami Jitendranand said – Artists should take care of religious sentiments
Swami Jitendranand Saraswati on Sukhwinder case said – Artists should take care of the dignity.
Swami Jitendranand Saraswati, General Secretary of All India Sant Samiti in Varanasi said that Bollywood actors should take care of dignity. No one’s religious sentiments should be hurt. However, Hinduism is not narrow-minded enough to affect the shooting itself. Artists should take care of religious sentiments. We are not questioning his shooting, because the actors of Banaras also get income. Only artists should take care of the culture.
