Hina Khan comes out in support of Ekta Kapoor; says, Cyber-bullying should not be appreciated

Of late, Ekta Kapoor has been in the eye of a storm. The TV producer had a police complaint filed against her by Bigg Boss 13 contestant Hindustani Bhau. He filed a FIR on grounds of obscenity on the show XXX Season 2. On the show, we can see a lonely Army wife indulging in sexual games with her boyfriend. She makes him wear her husband's uniform, hits him with a belt and later tears it off. Hindustani Bhau alleged that the scene was offensive for all the Army jaawans who were giving their everything for the nation. Ekta Kapoor got the scene deleted from the show. However, there was a huge outrage on Twitter and trolls abused the TV producer in the most unmentionable manner.

Ekta Kapoor told OpIndia, "They have issued rape threats to me, my 73 year old mom and my one and a half year old kid. They have morphed my face on nude images and circulated it all over internet." She further said that such protests set a very bad precedent for women. She told the publication, "But a fictional story on an app can not justify real life humiliation of women. We need to understand that rape threats dilute the purpose of protests and not further them." Hina Khan has come out in support of the TV czarina saying that cyber-bullying is not something to be appreciated.

An unintentional mistake, Rectified!

But threatening rape to a woman and her family. Cyber bullying to pressurise one into submission should never be appreciated. Human error can never justify grave crimes that happen to innocent people..That too is disrespectful! #StandUpWoman https://t.co/5UJ1k1v9by

As a woman, I stand with you, for other women, for not submitting to bullying and threats. Our position gives us a lot of exposure and makes us vulnerable for unexpected oppressive remarks. But we have to stand up and support each other period! #StandUpWoman https://t.co/5UJ1k1v9by

A fan pointed out to Hina Khan that she respected her point of view but Ekta Kapoor had insulted the Indian Army. Writer Harinder Sikka of Raazi fame had also raised aspersions on social media.

Should not be acceptable to any of us, but that unintentional mistake was rectified.Wasn't it?

Would you justify though the threats of rape against her and her family?A mistake on a fictional show should Harass a real woman and her family? You are a woman yourself, you tell me? https://t.co/B5L6EwS7wT

She told the publication, "The moment the issue was raised, the platform made necessary amends and removed the scene altogether. We also unconditionally apologise to the army and army wives if we have unintentionally hurt their sentiments."
