It seems like OTT platforms are back to creating controversies again, and this time, it is the Ullu web series House Arrest, which might create new problems for its vulgar content.
The video of one of the participants, Gehana Vasisth, has already gone viral, leading to heavy criticism from the general public, who accused the makers of promoting vulgarity. However, Gehana responded by saying that many other actresses have done the same on various other occasions in the past.
Notably, the viral video included a bold moment featuring Gehana, and she referred to the same by saying that even actress Mandakini did a similar thing many years ago in the film Ram Teri Ganga Maili. She further stated that Priyanka Chopra has done it in Hollywood and she can also do the same.
She even criticized people watching porn videos, saying that they never consider it vulgar and start using the same word for anyone who participates on shows like House Arrest.
Another video from the show is also creating headlines as it shows host Ajaz Khan telling the other contestants to display intimate positions on camera.
As per the latest update, advocate Vineet Jindal has already approached the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting with a complaint, saying that the content of House Arrest is objectionable, offensive, and violates the standard of Indian culture at the same time.
It is pretty clear that people are not happy with the kind of content coming up on certain OTT platforms.
This also does not mean that these platforms should be closed permanently. But at the same time, certain limitations and restrictions must be included for any kind of content on OTT.
I have raised this in the standing committee that apps such as this, namely, Ullu App and Alt Balaji have managed to escape the ban by I&B ministry on apps for obscene content. I am still awaiting their reply. pic.twitter.com/evZS1LFvLZ
