Ekta Kapoor recently made headlines after she landed into legal trouble due to her ALTBalaji series XXX: Uncensored Season 2.
Some flash scenes from the web series were reported and it showed Army men in the wrong light. Not just this, even an FIR was filed against Ekta for insulting hurting the sentiments of the Army personnel and also using the national emblem in an objectionable way.
That was not it, she even received a lot of backlash on social media despite the makers deleted the particular scene from the series as soon as the issue was addressed.
Recently speaking to a media portal, Ekta opened up on the controversy, threats and more.
In conversation with the portal, she addressed how she and her family have been getting rape threats. She said, “They have issued rape threats to me, my 73-year-old mom and my one and a half-year-old kid. They have morphed my face on nude images and circulated it all over the internet. But a fictional story on an app cannot justify real-life humiliation of women. We need to understand that rape threats dilute the purpose of protests and not further them.”
Further, she added if such nasty things can happen to her in spite being a successful personality, imagine the plight of normal girls. “If this can happen to a reasonably successful woman like me then imagine what they can do to girls that are a lot more vulnerable. I won’t budge in front of those hooligans for the sake of other girls. These cyberbullying and rape threats have to stop,” she said.
Ekta also apologised to the Indian Army and expressed how an immediate action was taken once she and her team heard about it.
She said, “The moment the issue was raised, the platform made necessary amends and removed the scene altogether. We also unconditionally apologise to the army and army wives if we have unintentionally hurt their sentiments.”
