Ekta Kapoor, a television producer, film producer, and filmmaker best known for her work in Hindi soap operas, seems to be in the midst of a never-ending string of problems. She is credited with launching a number of well-known television programmes, including Kasamh Se, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki, Kabhii Sautan Kabhii Sahelii, Kohi Apna Sa, Kaahin Kissii Roz, Kalash, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, and Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. She is the co-managing director and creative director of Balaji Telefilms Limited, for the uninitiated.
As reported by PTI, Kapoor was arguing against the arrest warrants that had been issued against her for allegedly disrespecting soldiers and harming their families in the web series that was broadcast on her OTT channel ALTBalaji.
“There must be action taken. The youthful generation in our country is having their minds contaminated by you. Everyone has access to it. Over-the-top (OTT) content is accessible to everyone. What kind of options do you offer the populace? …instead, you are contaminating children’s minds, “As reported by the news agency PTI, a bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and C T Ravikumar stated.
Senior attorney Mukul Rohatgi was representing Kapoor in court. Rohatgi stated that “a plea has been filed before the Patna High Court but there is no prospect the matter would be assigned for hearing soon,” as reported by the news agency, before the court made its observation.
Rohatgi reportedly claimed, “The content is subscription-based and that there is freedom of choice in this nation,” in court, according to PTI.
As of now, the Supreme Court has kept the case pending, and the next hearing date will be announced soon.
