Because the song is about Krishna and Radha’s love, netizens have blasted it for hurting Hindu feelings by the actor’s “sensual” moves in her dance. Priests in Vrindavan, Mathura, are requesting a ban on Bollywood singer Sunny Leone‘s current music video, claiming that her dancing routine offends their religious sensibilities. The music video, titled ‘Madhuban Mein Radhika Nache,’ was released a few days ago by Saregama music and has around 10 million YouTube views.
Sunny Leone’s recent video album has been banned by Mathura priests, who claim the Bollywood actress offended their religious emotions by executing an “obscene” dance on the popular “Madhuban mein Radhika naache” song. On Saturday, a Hindutva organization held a rally and chanted anti-Hindutva slurs. Members of the group also filed a police report, requesting that she be charged with a crime. Mohammed Rafi had initially performed the song for the 1960 film Kohinoor.

“If the government does not act against the actress and prohibit her video album, we will move to court,” Sant Naval Giri Maharaj of Vrindaban warned. Obscenity in the name of ‘Radha Rani’ will not be tolerated. In addition, we are writing a letter to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the situation.” She should not be permitted to stay in India unless she removes the scene and apologizes publicly, he added.
Mahesh Pathak, national head of the Akhil Bhartiya Tirth Purohit Mahasabha, has also taken issue with Leone’s dance video, claiming that she has “maligned the prestige of Brijbhumi” by presenting the song in a “derogatory manner.”
