Mumbai, March 25 -- Social media influencer and former Bigg Boss contestant Vikas Jayaram Phatak, also known as Hindustani Bhau, has approached the Bombay High Court seeking registration of an FIR against director-choreographer Farah Khan. He alleges that Farah Khan has made derogatory remarks about the Hindu festival Holi.

According to Hindustani Bhau's petition, Farah Khan described Holi as the festival of "Chhapri" in an episode of 'Celebrity MasterChef' in February 2025. He says that this word is used in a negative context and it has made fun of our culture. Bhau alleges that Farah's comment was hurtful to the sentiments of the Hindu community and may lead to communal tension.

Bhau had lodged a complaint in the matter at Khar Police...
