Ameesha Patel scored a big hit after a very long time with ‘Gadar 2′. But she landed herself in trouble when she made some comments about the content on OTT platforms. She said, “OTT is full of, homosexuality, gay-lesbianism… Scenes where you have to cover your kids’ eyes or actually put a child lock.”
This led to a massive outrage on the internet and she clarified, “I think that section is misunderstood because I have nothing against what is going on on OTT at all. But, I only used to hear from people ‘we’ve put the child lock on to a lot of the shows and things like that because we can’t watch 90% of the OTT with family. Because there is too much abusive language or too much nudity or violence, it is dark content and we want family content. We want a place where a grandchild can sit with a grandfather with everyone in between and watch a wholesome family film’. Which is what I had said was missing for a long time.”
She added, “I would love to do a web show. I would love to be a part of an OTT platform. But they (younger audience) need to see that the world is not only full of drugs, smuggling, rapes, and things like that. Youngsters, the youth also needs to see that the world can be a beautiful place with good family values.”
