Ekta Kapoor in a Legal Tangle: Is ‘Gandi Baat’ Her Final Curtain Call?

Bollywood Mascot: Ekta Kapoor, the renowned filmmaker and daughter of veteran actor Jeetendra, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons due to her web series “Gandi Baat.” The series, which features adult content involving minor actors, has led to a case being filed against Ekta and her mother, Shobha Kapoor, under the POCSO Act. As a result, the Mumbai police have conducted lengthy interrogations with both producers.

Legal Troubles Intensify

The Mumbai police have stepped in following complaints regarding the inappropriate scenes involving minors in “Gandi Baat,” which airs on the OTT platform ALT Balaji. According to reports from ANI, the police questioned Ekta and Shobha Kapoor for several hours, focusing on the casting and production details of the controversial episode.

Authorities are actively gathering testimonies from the cast and crew associated with the series. Ekta and Shobha have been summoned for further questioning on October 24, where they are expected to bring additional documents related to ALT Balaji.

Background of the Case

The legal action stems from a specific episode in Season 6 of “Gandi Baat,” known for its explicit content. The POCSO Act was invoked after serious allegations surfaced regarding the portrayal of minors in the series. This incident has raised significant concerns about the ethical implications of using young actors in adult-themed projects.

Ekta Kapoor’s History of Controversies

This isn’t the first time Ekta Kapoor has found herself embroiled in controversy. Previously, her web series “Triple X” also faced legal scrutiny, and “Gandi Baat” has had its share of backlash in the past. Notably, on February 9, Ekta resigned from her position as head of ALT Balaji amid growing concerns about the content being produced under her supervision.

As the situation unfolds, both fans and critics are keeping a close eye on how this legal drama will impact Ekta Kapoor’s career and the future of her productions.
