Self-censorship has finally arrived in our entertainment industry. Ekta Kapoor has decided to clamp down her creative freedom, as per sources.

In the new series His Story on a marriage going kaput after the husband is discovered to be in a relationship with a man, many of the intimate scenes between the two male actors have been left out on the editing table.

A source reveals, “They had shot a lot more intimate scenes between Satyadeep Mishra and Mrinal Dutt. But finally decided to retain just a couple of kissing shots, and that too very discreetly done.”

Sources say the new code of conduct for the OTT platform is self-censorship. Why wait for trouble before clamping down on controversial content?
