Patal Lok, a web series produced by Bollywood actress Anuskha Sharma, had used a very ‘low level’ words to abuse a Nepali woman. In the 3 minutes and 41 seconds of the second episode of the first season of the series, which is airing on Amazon Prime series, a female police officer beats a young woman and says, “Is he your friend or client? You lying Nepali whore”. (Nepali R-a-n-d-i) Patal Lok Nepali Controversy
Patal Lok Nepali Controversy
Paatal Lok is a neo-noir web television series which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on 15 May 2020. It is produced by Clean Slate Films, Anushka Sharma’s banner. The teaser was released on 27 April while the trailer was out on 5 May. The series is about a down and out cop who lands the case of an assassination attempt gone wrong.
The story is about a policeman. The name is Hathiram Chaudhary (Jaideep Ahlawat). Posting is at Outer Jamunapar Police Station, Delhi. According to Hathiram’s Whatsapp University, there are three worlds in the world. Swarga Lok – Where Elders Live. Dharti Lok- where he lives. Patal Lok – Where his posting is. There is a bridge in the area of Hathiram.
Actress Rekha Thapa said, ” I strongly condemn the grandeur of encroaching on our sovereignty by encroaching on the land and presenting it in Bollywood films and serials by degrading Nepalis.
Another Nepali Actress Reecha Sharma said,
” The insults used against Nepali women in Amazon Prime’s ‘Patal Lok‘ series have saddened the minds of all Nepalis. The production team of the film should apologize to Nepalis and remove that word from the series. At such a time, we have all become one.
However, such unity is never seen against the remarks of Nepali artists, models, Miss Nepals as ‘Randi‘ and ‘Bhalu’. Maybe no one showed interest because that comment came from an individual. Don’t we have to teach such abusers a lesson? When not to wake up now?
