Ekta Kapoor Triple X Controversy – Biography – Free PDF Download

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

• Noted film producer Ekta Kapoor’s new web series ‘Triple X-2’ has sparked a controversy after some ex-army personnel lodged a complaint in Gurugram’s Palam Vihar police station raising objection over its allegedly inappropriate and vulgar content.
• ‘Triple X-2’ is based on lives of army personnel.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

• Raising strong objection to the web series, Martyrs Welfare Foundation (MWF) chairman Major T.C. Rao said that army soldiers sacrifice their lives for the country, but the series’ producer and director have depicted that armymen’s wives are intimate with other men at home when their husbands are away serving on the borders.
• “This content is highly objectionable and it could demoralise our armed forces,” he said.

WHAT IS THE ISSUE?

• “Triple X-2 also has scenes where uniforms of military men, having symbols of Ashoka statue and Taj are torn apart. This is an insult to our armed forces and military personnel,” Rao said.
• MWF member Major S.N. Rao said “In a state like Haryana having representation of over 3.70 lakh army soldiers. This is an insult to them and ex-armymen like us. If Ekta Kapoor will not remove the objectionable scenes from the web series, we will intensify our agitation.”

FIR

• Rajender Kumar, SHO of Palam Vihar police station, confirmed receiving a complaint in this regard and said the matter is under investigation.
• Former Bigg Boss contestant Hindustani Bhau has also lodged a complaint against the makers of the show at the Khar police station in Mumbai.
• The controversial scene had landed the makers in a spot, what the hashtag #ALTBalaji_Insults_Army trending on Twitter Tuesday onwards

CYBER BULLYING

• “As an individual and as an organisation we are deeply respectful towards the Indian Army. Their contribution to our well-being and security is immense. We have already deleted the scene that is being spoken about, so action has been taken from our side. What we don’t appreciate is the bullying and the rape threats by the trolls,” said Kapoor, referring to the massive cyber bullying she has witnessed after the controversy burgeoned over the past few days.

CYBER BULLYING

• “This gentleman who thinks that he’s the ‘patriot of the year’ decided to come out there, abuse my mother and me. And now, has openly put a rape threat on a social platform. This, now, is no longer about the army or sexual content because the idea of this is ‘rape a girl, rape her son, rape her 71-year-old mother’ for making sexual content. It means sex is bad but rape is okay.”
