What Is The Controversy Around Ziddi Girl All About?

The controversy started when a scene in the trailer says, "Aaj MH mein padhai nahi, porn chalta hai," which caused major uproar among the students of Delhi University's Miranda House, where the shooting of the series took place. Not only that, but the director Shonali Bose, was also an alumni of the institution. After the major uproad, MH's Principal Bijayalaxmi Nanda told Hindustan Times, "I feel betrayed... I have always admired Shonali's strong filmography. [So] when she came up to us with her project, I was under the impression, that it would be another inspiring project. After all, she is our own student, why would she ever want to portray Miranda in bad light? She is a reputed alumna, thus this breaks my heart even more."

"I have been a part of this college for 30 years and what is shown in the trailer in no way relates to our students. We have written to the filmmaker and demanded that they take down the objectionable trailer and the short form reference to MH on an urgent basis," she added.

She continued, "But, I would like to assure Mirandians, that we are standing with them and will do everything in our capacity to ensure that in no way is the prestige of our college diminished."

In answer, the makers have shared a new trailer sharing a disclaimer, "This series is a work of fiction. It's based on a fictional institution and characters. It's not intended to defame any person, organisation or educational institution. Viewer's discretion is advised."
