Dear Ms.
BCCC viewed your complaint with regard to the programme "Yeh Hai Mohabbatein" on Star Plus.
BCCC had issued a Notice to the channel. In its reply, the channel stated this is a modern day drama where the female protagonist is unable to conceive due to a medical problem. She longs for a child and does not believe in surrogacy as she is afraid of losing a child, which she has unfortunately lost before. The women's portrayal has not been demeaning or insulting to barren women. The surrogacy track was important to determine the future dynamics of the relationships. BCCC took the channel's reply on record and decided to DISPOSE of the complaints. The Council, however, advised the channel to be more sensitive in preserving the dignity of and respect of women.
Yours sincerely,
Ashish Sinha
Secretary General
