A shocker of news came our way when we heard that The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) filed an FIR against comedian Surleen Kaur and Shemaroo Entertainment for apparently hurling derogatory statements against the ISKCON community thereby hurting the sentiments and emotions.
Soon after the FIR, Shemaroo was quick to pull down the video which made the derogatory remarks. Not just that, they have even gone ahead to state that they are extremely apologetic for what has happened and due to the shocking incident, they have even disassociated themselves from Surleen Kaur & Balraj Syal.
Seems like trouble isn’t ending soon for Shemaroo as we hear that the ISKCON community has not accepted the apology yet and have warned Shemaroo Entertainment for further action, as per reports.

We have high regards for all the good work, especially the spiritual and social service, that ISKCON has done over the years to benefit countless people across India and elsewhere.
ISKCON’s contributions of feeding 5 crore meals during the COVID lockdown is praiseworthy.

Further to our unconditional apology to ISKCON community for the comments made by Ms. Surleen Kaur, we have decided to disassociate ourselves from any further involvement with Ms Surleen Kaur and Mr Balraj Syal as they failed to meet our standards of public decency.
