New Delhi: Popular producer of daily soaps, Ektaa Kapoor is currently under hot water due to her OTT giant ALT Balaji. For those who have missed it, a case was filed against the producer and her mother Shobha Kapoor under the POCSO Act. Notably, the case was registered for allegedly showing inappropriate scenes involving minor girls in an episode of the ALT Balaji’s series Gandi Baat.

While the case is related to season 6 of the web series ‘Gandi Baat’ on ALT Balaji, netizens have finally called for a ban on the app on X (formerly Twitter).
