Ekta Kapoor, a well-known producer and director, and her mother Shobha Kapoor have run into legal troubles. A court in Begusarai, Bihar, issued an arrest order for the mother-daughter duo on Wednesday after they were accused of disrespecting soldiers and hurting their families in her online series (Season-2).
Ekta Kapoor is the joint managing director and creative director of Balaji Telefilms Limited, for those who are unfamiliar. The series was streamed on ALTBalaji, an OTT owned by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms. The business has ties to Shobha Kapoor too.
According to Press Trust of India, the warrant was issued by the court of judge Vikas Kumar based on a complaint filed by Begusarai native and ex-serviceman Shambhu Kumar.
In his 2020 lawsuit, Kumar claimed that Season 2 of the series contained a number of offensive scenes involving a soldier's wife.
"The series was aired on ALTBalaji, an OTT platform owned by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms Ltd. Shobha Kapoor is also associated with Balaji Telefilms," said Hrishikesh Pathak, the advocate of Shambhu Kumar to PTI.
"The court had issued summons to them (Kapoors) and asked them to appear before it in connection with the matter. They (Kapoors), however, informed the court that certain scenes in the series were removed after the objection. But they did not appear before the court following which the warrant was issued against them," Pathak added.
It is an erotic comedy-drama, and each of its web episodes features a unique tale that focuses on a distinct facet of s*x. The first season was made available in 2018, and the second began airing in January of 2020.
