10-year-old's dialogues on TV show raises eyebrows

Erotic dialogues and intimate scenes are not new on television anymore. But a 10-year-old mouthing dialogues like 'Ye sharirik sambandh kya hota hai?' and 'Meri maa tabhi theek ho sakti hai jab unke saath sharirik sambandh hoga' is raising quite a few eyebrows.
Shruti Bhist, who plays seven-year-old Indu in Hitler Didi, doesn't even understand the meaning of these terms, as told by her mother. According to the track, she overhears the family doctor say that Indira (Rati Pandey) will become normal only if her husband (Rishi Kumar, played by Sumit Vats) establishes 'sharirik sambandh' with her.
Producer Ila Bedi Datta says, "I don't understand what this brouhaha is all about. Little Indu overhears this word and asks her father what that means. This triggers the track of Rishi committing to consummate his relationship with Indira, irking Zara to no end."
Shruti's mother Kusum says, "Shruti cannot even pronounce the word and asks me the meaning of it. I have told her not to discuss it with anyone. Kids also watch the show and it might affect them too. I brought it up with both the channel and the production house. They told me that the script demands it and requested me to look at it with a positive perspective."
