Bollywood actor Salman Khan recently stated that 'clean content' always works better as he talked about censorship on OTT at an event in Mumbai on Wednesday. He also stated that actors who do not want to do bold scenes are left behind.
Dismissing the idea that OTT is the cooler version of TV, Salman said that there should be censorship on the medium. He reportedly said, "I think there should be censorship on the medium. All these vulgarity, nudity, gaali galauch should stop."
The actor has garnered attention in the past for his unwanted comments that have drawn criticism.
Salman bats for censorship on OTT
The Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actor said that even young kids watch shows on OTT and added that the content should be checked before it is released.
"15-16 saal ka bacche dekh sakte hai. Apko accha lagega aapki choti si beti ye sab dekhe padhne ke bahane? I think the content should be checked on OTT. Jitna clean hoga content, utna behtar hoga, viewership uski zyada hogi," he said.
Salman also believes that if the content is clean, it will be better and will also have a larger viewership.
Salman: Don’t think that’s right for security reasons
He further stated that vulgarity, nudity and the use of abusive language was a lot some times back but now it is under control.
"Apne sab kuch kar liya… love making, kissing, expose kar lia aur aap apne building mein ghus rahe hai aur apka watchman aapka content dekh raha hai. So, I just don’t think that’s right for security reasons. Also, we don’t need to do that. Hindustan mein rehte hai, thoda bahot theek hai lekin itna zyada beech mein ho gya tha. Ab jake thoda control mein aaya hai. People have now started working on good and decent content," Salman added.
