World Music Day | King : Good music outlives trends, formulas and virility

Published by Parlour News

Long before sold-out concerts and chart-topping tracks, Arpan Kumar Chandel, aka King, was a schoolboy who discovered the joy of songwriting. On World Music Day, the singer-rapper revisits the journey that shaped him into one of India’s most popular contemporary voices. World Music Day | King “Music came into my life very organically. I still remember writing one of my first songs during school. At the time, I was more focused on football, but when I sat down to write, I realised how much joy it gave me. Years later, when life gave me the opportunity to pursue music seriously, I told myself that whether success comes after 10 years, 20 years, or never, I would still continue making songs because I genuinely enjoyed doing it.” He adds, “If I know how to make songs, I should give them to the world. That’s how this journey really started. Even today, I feel like I’m still on that path, still discovering new things through music and learning every day.” Despite being one of the most celebrated …

4 min readNew DelhiMar 17, 2026 08:40 AM IST Armaan Malik joined the internet to call out Nora Fatehi-Sanjay Dutt’s new song, “Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke”, from Kannada pan-India film KD: The Devil. The song is being criticised for its vulgar lyrics and highly suggestive dance steps. Sung by Mangli, with lyrics by Raqeeb Alam and music composed by Arjun Janya, the song outraged the internet with double entendre lyrics ostensibly about liquor. The song’s outright vulgar lyrics compare a woman to a bottle of alcohol using double meanings. Singer Armaan Malik wrote on social media, “This showed up on my timeline and I had to replay it just to make sure I heard it right. Sad to see commercial songwriting hit a new low.” This showed up on my timeline and I had to replay it just to make sure I heard it right.

How has internet reacted to the song Armaan was not the only one shocked to hear the lyrics. Many on the internet had the same reaction. One user commented, “How did the Censor Board pass this double-meaning, vulgar, full of sexual innuendos song featuring Nora Fatehi?” Another said, “Would you call it a dance? It’s a disgrace to Indian women. Objectification has crossed all limits.” About the track Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke is set in a dance bar, with Nora dancing alongside dozens of backup dancers. The song’s opening verse is a double entendre describing sex in rather graphic detail. As the first stanza progresses, it is revealed that the description is for a drink and bottle (most likely alcohol) and not genitalia, as the previous verses had suggested.
