The Gorkha Association in Arunachal Pradesh
has filed a complaint before the National Human Right Commission (NHRC)
against Bollywood actress and film producer Anushka Sharma for an
alleged sexist slur against the Gorkha community.
Anushka Sharma has
allegedly used the sexist slur in one of the scenes of ‘Paatal Lok’, a
web series presently being aired on Amazon Prime Video.
‘Paatal Lok’, which is being produced by Anushka, has been in the limelight for many infamous reasons ever since it premiered.
The
complaint was filed by All Arunachal Pradesh Gorkha Youth Association’s
(AAPGYA) Namsai unit president and NHRC activist Bikash Bhattarai.
The Association in the complaint stated that the sexist slur, used
against a woman character in the second episode of the web series, is a
“direct insult to the Nepali speaking people”.
The sexist slur has
hurt the sentiments of the Gorkha community and Nepali speaking people
around the country, the AAPGYA said while demanding that “the web series
be stopped from being aired or else, the team of Paatal Lok apologize
to the Gorkhali people.”
