Ekta Kapoor: Alt Balaji, a popular streaming platform known for its adult content, is facing heavy criticism following a POCSO Act case filed against its founder, Ekta Kapoor, and her mother, Shoba Kapoor. This controversy has sparked the hashtag #BanAltBalaji, which is now trending on X (formerly Twitter). Many netizens are demanding a ban on Alt Balaji, accusing the platform of promoting inappropriate content and harming Indian culture.
POCSO Case Filed Over Inappropriate Use of Minors
The legal trouble began when reports surfaced alleging that Alt Balaji had used minors in inappropriate scenes in its adult shows, such as the controversial series Gandi Baat. The case, filed under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, has drawn sharp public outrage. This isn’t the first time Ekta Kapoor’s content has come under fire. Similar platforms, like ULLU, have also been criticised for their objectionable content, with many calling it a threat to societal values.
“Ban Alt Balaji” Trends on X: Netizens React
The hashtag #BanAltBalaji quickly gained traction on X as outraged users voiced their concerns. One user shared, “Friends, it has become a trend, the voice should reach Delhi. Save Culture, Save India.” Another questioned the merit behind Ekta Kapoor’s accolades, saying, “It is still not understood what was the reason for giving Padmashree to Ekta Kapoor?”
Several others highlighted the harmful impact of Alt Balaji’s content on families and culture. A user commented, “These people, for the sake of money, are spreading filth in society by promoting obscenity in their shows.” Another post read, “Ban_AltBalaji Bollywood shows soft porn in which only vulgar jokes are shown on Sanatan.”
