It feels like 90¡¯s all over again. Before you go into a frenzy, here¡¯s a very interesting piece of news. Shilpa Shetty and Govinda have landed in a legal soup for their popular song ¡®Ek Chumma Tu Mujhko Udhaar De De¡¯. And no, it has got nothing to do with the kiss/chumma. On the contrary, it is because of the mention of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh! Confused? So are we!
Well, the actors have been accused of defaming the two states since the lyrics go like this ¨C Ek chumma tu mujhko udhar de de, aur badle mein UP Bihar le le¡±
A lawyer from Jharkhand had filed a case against the two actors way back in 2000?when Jharkhand was still a part of Bihar. The hearing for the same was supposed to take place on June 30th this year.
