Tajinder Bagga has strongly criticized Bollywood choreographer and filmmaker Farah Khan over her recent statement on Holi. In his response, Bagga accused Khan of targeting Indian culture and festivals. Farah Khan reportedly referred to Holi as a “Chapris festival,” which did not sit well with many people, including Bagga.
Reacting to her remarks, he said, “It seems like targeting Indian culture and festivals has become her favorite thing. Holi is a festival that has been celebrated for centuries in India. People in our country enjoy Holi and Diwali with great enthusiasm. But people like Farah Khan try to tarnish its image.” Calling Farah Khan the “biggest Chapri,” Bagga demanded that she apologize to the Indian people, adding, “You should apologize for calling Holi a festival of Chapris.”
Bagga’s reaction quickly gained traction on social media. Many users supported his stance, criticizing Farah Khan for her comments. The controversy sparked online debates about respecting Indian traditions and whether celebrities should be more careful with their words. Hashtags like #HoliControversy, #TajinderBagga, and #FarahKhan started trending, as users shared their opinions. Some argued that Bagga’s response was justified, while others believed the matter was being blown out of proportion.
Farah Khan has not yet responded to the backlash. However, this incident has reignited discussions about how Indian festivals are perceived in the entertainment industry and the importance of cultural respect. As Holi approaches, the controversy serves as a reminder of the deep cultural significance of the festival and the emotions it evokes among millions of Indians.
