A user took to X (formerly Twitter) and penned down how the show is highly vulgar and explores topics like situationships.
Amidst the Ranveer Allhabadiya controversy, the Supreme Court’s action and the government’s strict stand against vulgarity have failed to instil fear of law in these Social Media influencers, the user said.
He even requested the police to take strict action immediately against them.
Many people agreed with the tweet, replying how such shows are spoiling GenZ and taking advantage to make money.
JioHotstar has already faced backlash for playing trailers for adult shows during cricket matches. If the platform doesn’t respond to these people, it may risk losing a section of its audience.
