'Qubool Hai''s telecast on Zee TV will now run with an apology scroll for five days starting July 29, while the channel Big CBS has been asked to run it every two hours for seven days, by the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council(BCCC).

A complaint against Qubool Hai stated that its February 28 episode "showed an elderly womanbeing tortured", and there were other complaints on violence against women in the soap, including a scene where the vamp mixes acid in the mehendi meant for the heroine. BCCC has stated that "the show depicts and suggests ways of torturing women, which offends good taste and decency."

Jokes apart but then elderlys are treated way worse than this in India and it is a true thing so why apologize for showing something which does happens and does takes place.

I agree if that is the case then every serial every Bollywood movie that has been made that sends out a 'message' or shows such acts of violence, rape or abuse have something to be sorry about...looks like we need to go through the 100 years of indian cinema and start apologising. Movies, dramas and media in general are powerful and influential ways in which people can get a message across. In India, pakistan and other south Asian countries abuse and acts of violence against women such as acid attacks are common, so does that mean that we should not show people what happens, how it affects and ruins people lives such because it may one across as tasteless...please.

Fine if they are going to apologise then cool, each to their own.

No offence intended...just personal view
