Farah Khan’s Comment On Holi As A ‘Festival Of Chhapris’ On ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ Triggers Outrage

Farah Khan has landed in controversy over a remark she made on ‘Celebrity MasterChef’. During a recent episode, the filmmaker-choreographer referred to Holi as the ‘favourite festival of chhapris’, a term often used to describe unruly men. Her comment, “Saare chhapri logon ka favourite festival Holi hota hai,” did not sit well with many viewers, who found it insensitive and disrespectful. Social media users criticised her for mocking the festival and hurting sentiments. Many called her statement ‘shameful’ and accused her of reinforcing negative stereotypes.
