Saregama to "change" lyrics and name of song 'Madhuban' following outrage

Music label Saregama on Sunday announced that the company will "change" the lyrics and the name of the song "Madhuban" after Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra alleged that the video of the track has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus.

Following a massive outrage, netizens demanded for the arrest of Sunny Leone on Twitter.

The minister on Sunday also warned actor Sunny Leone, who stars in the video, and singers Shaarib and Toshi to apologise and withdraw their song, "Madhuban mein Radhika, jaise jungle me nache mor" within three days or else face action.

"In light of the recent feedback & respecting the sentiments of our fellow countrymen, we will be changing the lyrics and the name of the song Madhuban. The new song will replace the old one across all platforms over the next 3 days" said the company in a brief statement.

"Some vidharmis are constantly hurting Hindu sentiments. The video 'Madhuban me Radhika nache' is one such condemnable attempt. I am warning Sunny Leone ji, Shaarib and Toshi ji to understand. If they don't remove the song after apologising in three days, then we will take action against them" Mishra was quoted by TOI.

The song which was released last week, is composed and sung by Shaarib and Toshi featuring Kanika Kapoor and Arindam Chakraborty.
