'You are polluting minds of young generation': SC slams Ekta Kapoor over 'XXX'

New Delhi: The Supreme Court Friday came down heavily on producer Ekta Kapoor over "objectionable content" in her web series 'XXX', saying she was polluting the minds of the young generation of this country.

The top court was hearing a plea filed by Kapoor challenging the arrest warrants issued against her for allegedly insulting soldiers and hurting the sentiments of their families in the web series aired on her OTT platform ALTBalaji.

"Something has to be done. You are polluting the minds of the young generation of this country. It is available to all. OTT (Over The Top) content is available to all. What kind of choice are you providing to the people?....On the contrary you are polluting the minds of youngsters," a bench of Justices Ajay Rastogi and C T Ravikumar said.

The court made the observation after senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for Kapoor, submitted that a petition has been filed before the Patna high court but there is no hope the matter will be listed for hearing soon.

He said the top court had earlier granted protection to Kapoor in a similar matter.

Rohatgi said the content is subscription-based and that there is freedom of choice in this country. The court, which stopped short of imposing costs, then wondered what kind of choice is being given to people.

"Everytime you travel to this court....We don't appreciate this. We will put a cost on you for filing such a petition. Mr Rohatgi please convey this to your client. Just because you can afford and hire the services of good lawyers....This court is not for those who have voices.

"This court works for those who don't have voices...If these people who have all kinds of facilities, if they cannot get justice then think of the situation of this common man. We have seen the order and we have our reservations," the bench observed.

The top court kept the matter pending and suggested a local lawyer may be put to work to know about the status of the hearing in the high court. A trial court in Bihar's Begusarai had issued the warrant on a complaint lodged by Shambhu Kumar, an ex-serviceman.

Kumar, in his complaint of 2020, alleged series 'XXX' (Season-2) featured several objectionable scenes related to a soldier's wife.

Since 1996 yeh bolna bhool gaye!

True. Such filthy things should be banned so that nibbas don't end up visiting NSFW sites of Reddit & stanning non actresses like Sanon ( for me she has 0 appeal), Janhvi,etc.🤢

1 admi ka 15 wife dikhake saas bahu ko ladake pura desh ka auntiyon ko dimag kharab karne ke baad SC ko young generation yad a raha hai. Aunty log ko bachao isse

Through Alt Balaji she has made such cringe stuff. That Ronit Roy show glorifying and justifying extramarital affair😵.

Bollywood me yeh sab hota bhi hoga waise, so kya hi bolu.

Most of her web shows look like B grade films.

I would like to argue that this scene pollutes everyone more than any kissing possibly could 😕

All I can say is der aaye, durust aaye.😆

I only watched a couple of webseries back in 2017 from ALTBalaji when it was new. It didn't seem so bad back then but Ekta went TOO FAR in making sexual content. LMAO😆 She deserves it.

This court works for those who don't have voices

😆😆

Supreme court have no self awareness.

So did these justices watched all these alt Balaji serials to conclude this or usual WhatsApp stuff🤔

courts which consult sharia on hijab issue,are against carbon dating to find the origin of a disputed structure,allege that kashmiri pandits are doing drama when they ask files to be reopened should self introspect first.

Ekta's face is crooked
