While taking the subscription for this platform, there is no checking of the identity that the person is adult, and the subscription is given to people of any age group. In reality, after banning porn websites, the youngsters have swathed to these kinds of platforms, as the content telecasted is worse in these platforms.

ALT BALAJI'S XXX SEASON 2 WEB SERIES SPOILS THE NOBILITY OF ARMED FORCES:

ALT Balaji shot into the Indian web series with unregulated substance highlighting generally sexual content, including scenes of infidelity, rape, homosexuality, and various sex accomplices. Another season of ALTBalajiuncensored shows XXX 2, episode named Pyaaraur plastic. In this episode, there is a Lieutenant Colonel's wife alluring her non-military personnel doctor (saying that her spouse is just intrigued by his drinks and indulging in conversation with individual officials), dressing him up in her husband’s uniform and pretends the doctor to be her better half. She tears open the uniform shirt as well. Later, things turn out that the woman is the doctor's mother-in-law. First, the doctor began the two-timing relationship, notwithstanding realizing that the lady was hitched, and the lady proceeded with the relationship even after his marriage. This is nauseating because ALT Balaji looks to standardize that Indian Army wives are explicitly disappointed and search for accomplices outside their marriage.

While ALT Balaji's appetite to bring profits, helpless choices in choosing content that is served to a vast crowd (effectively, youngsters are presented to this substance with no governing rules), they overlook that the Armed powers speak to the embodiment of Sacrifice. The military men themselves wear their uniform with satisfaction, as it implies their ability to leave peaceful family life and even penance themselves to secure the country. Numerous people have died on ensuring the pride of the uniform. The uniform isn't a prop to be utilized in sexual pretend, ALT Balaji!The wives and husbands of those in the Armed powers are similarly pleased with the reparation they make. While sexual delight is one of man's essential needs, it doesn't govern these model people's lives as ALT Balaji tries to depict.


CONTRAVENTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS:

Article 51A of the Indian Constitution talks about the fundamental duties that every citizen of the country needs to be abiding. It states that it shall be the duty of every citizen of India, who enjoys the fundamental duties embedded in the constitution. It must respect and follow the essential duties. Clause A of Article 51A states that every citizen shall have an obligation to abide by the constitution and respect its ideals and institution; The National Flag and The National Anthem.


FIR RECORDED AGAINST EKTA KAPOOR :

Regarding the show, a few grievances have been recorded against Ekta Kapoor. Web-based media superstar Vikas Pathak is popularly known as Hindustani Bhau, registered an FIR against TV maker Ekta Kapoor and her mom Shobha Kapoor over charges of disregarding the Indian Army and the public insignia in her web-series XXX 2.

After Hindustani Bhau, a couple of ex-faculty from Gurugram's Palam Vihar filed an FIR against Ekta Kapoor. According to Indo Asian News Service reports, the Martyrs Welfare Foundation (MWF), Major TC Rao, said that in the show, a military official's wife is seen eluding him in his absence. That is an insult for the fighters who are presented on the borders to serve the nation. Another protest has been recorded against the maker Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor in the Muzaffarpur court. Ram Pravesh Singh, a leader of the veteran soldiers association in the city, has made the FIR.


EKTA KAPOOR’S REPLY TO THE CONTROVERSIES :

The producer Ekta Kapoor has delivered an official expression of remorse articulation for her show's substance while repeating that the sex scene has been deleted. The maker proceeded to include that, if she had she had seen the scene, it would have certainly been eliminated.

The statement read as follows: "I'd prefer to emphasize that as a mindful and law-abiding resident, I have the most significant respect for the Indian armed force. They not just danger their lives at the borders towards saving us but, at the same time, are one of the most significant associations in the nation. We, at ALTBalaji, have the most profound respect for our fearless troopers and regard them and their families. I would indeed make it loud and clear that we offer a genuine and unlimited expression of remorse to the army men and their wives if we have accidentally harmed their sentiments".


CONCLUSION:

We need to understand that the content displayed to us and what is watched by us is not an inappropriate or wrong depiction of the facts. If the content is even fictional, the viewers and the directors need to understand that the content does not mislead the public or is not defaming specific associations' integrity, which is country pride. There have been certain instances where the public or certain authorities have raised their voice against the derogatory or defaming content, and due to public pressure, that content was removed. But we need to solve this problem from the basics. The directors have to stop directing such content, the writers need to stop writing these types of contents, and the producers need to stop putting their money. And even if such content is created, there should be a proper screening before releasing these contents because, in the end, the image of the cast and crew is at the cost and the most important, the idea of the authorities to which the content is related is also at a price. Mere acceptance or ignorance of displayed content can create a significant issue that can lead to riots. These problems can be solved with sheer focus and by not being negligible.
