Sony
TV's
show,
Pehredaar
Piya
Ki
has
been
surrounded
by
controversies
for
its
unusual
content.
The
show
that
revolves
around
18-year-old
girl
Diya
(Tejaswi
Prakash
Wayangankar)
marrying
a
nine-year-old
boy,
Ratan
Singh
(Afaan
Khan)
in
order
to
guard
him!
The
concept
didn't
go
well
with
the
viewers
as
they
felt
the
content
is
'obnoxious
and
perverted'
and
may
create
a
negative
impact
in
children.
They
even
had
filed
an
online
petition
that
was
addressed
to
the
Union
Cabinet
Minister
of
Textiles
and
Information
and
Broadcasting
(Additional
Charge),
Smriti
Irani,
demanding
a
ban
on
the
show.

I&B
Has
Asked
BCCC
To
Take
Immediate
Action!
It
was
even
said
that
I&B
ministry
has
taken
the
matters
to
the
BCCC
(Broadcasting
Content
Complaints
Council)
seeking
immediate
action
on
the
plea.
Shashi
&
Sumeet
Mittal
Had
Recently
Held
A
Press
Conference
To
clarify
the
matter,
the
makers
Shashi
and
Sumeet
Mittal
had
held
a
press
conference
where
they
said
they
haven't
shown
anything
wrong
and
they
do
not
plan
to
change
the
plot!
The
Makers
Clarified…
The
makers
felt
that
people
are
commenting
on
the
show
without
watching
it
and
had
requested
them
not
to
judge
the
show
without
watching
it.
They
had
even
said
that
they
didn't
get
any
notice
from
the
authority.
BCCC’s
Decision
But,
according
to
the
latest
update,
BCCC
has
directed
Sony
Entertainment
Television
to
shift
the
show
to
late
night
slot
and
has
asked
to
run
disclaimer
stating
that
the
show
does
not
promote
the
concept
of
child
marriage.

BCCC
Meeting
On
Wednesday
(August
16),
BCCC
official
was
quoted
by
IANS
as
saying,
"We
had
a
monthly
meeting
and
the
channel
officials
were
called
for
a
discussion,
which
went
on
for
quite
long."
The
Show
To
Be
Shifted
To
10
PM
Slot!
"After
everything,
they
were
directed
that
the
timing
of
the
show
should
be
shifted
to
a
late
night
slot
of
10
pm
and
that
they
must
run
a
disclaimer."
Makers
Will
Have
To
Comply
To
The
Decision!
The
official
further
added
that
the
makers
will
have
to
comply
it!
Since
the
last
BCCC
meeting,
the
authority
has
apparently
received
138
fresh
complaints
against
the
show.
We
hope
people
who
are
against
the
show
will
be
relieved
with
BCCC's
decision.
But,
it
has
to
be
seen
how
the
makers
will
react
to
the
same...
