Ameesha Patel on OTT content material
Recently, Ameesha Patel talked about content material on OTT platforms and mentioned persons are longing for clear leisure. She informed Bollywood Hungama, “People are waiting for good, clean cinema. The era where you could make cinema that a grandchild could sit and watch with a grandparent is completely missing. OTT for sure doesn’t give you that. Because OTT is full of, homosexuality, gay-lesbianism… Scenes where you have to cover your kids’ eyes or actually put a child lock on your television so they can’t access those platforms. It’s not something you want your kids to watch.”
“Indians couldn’t travel that much, we didn’t have that much fashion. Everything that you wanted was through cinema… We didn’t even have an organised music industry. You depended on film music; costumes, fashion, everything came from cinema, and I think people are missing that essence. Gadar, they feel, is an answer to that,” she added whereas selling her comeback in movies with Gadar 2.
Twitter reacts to Ameesha Patel’s remark
Reacting to her phrases, a consumer on Twitter wrote to Ameesha, “Apparently you said in an interview that OTT is full of homosexuality and offensive to you. Maybe you don’t care about marginalized groups and their (long due) representation on the screen….but other people do. If you don’t like OTT, switch it off.” “A really massive Shame on You. Sexism can also be there in heterosexual relationships displaying in OTT platforms. So children and grandparents aren’t watching these. Why blaming Homosexuality,” questioned one other.
