The Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) on Wednesday directed Sony Entertainment Television to shift its show Pehredaar Piya Ki – in news for its odd plot – to a late night slot, besides running it with a scroll stating that it does not promote the concept of child marriage.
An online petition was moved for a ban on the television show, which has been described as having obnoxious and perverted content that can severely impact impressionable minds of children. The makers have been defending it, saying viewers must understand the circumstances in which the girl has to marry the child.
