Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah: ‘Do you talk to your parents like that?’ Dilip Joshi slams OTT platforms for unnecessary use of expletives

Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah's Jethalal aka Dilip Joshi has come down heavily on OTT platforms for unnecessary use of expletives. He was on Sorabh Pant's YouTube podcast when he spoke about OTT content.

He said, "On OTT platforms, we can see some mind-blowing work. There are some great performances. But I feel that there are a lot of expletives used when they are not necessary. Like I saw Bandish Bandits recently and it was wonderful. It had wonderful performances and Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy gave superb music. But there is one character in it who is himself not comfortable to give gaalis. That was really funny. I don't know if they have a clause to have cuss words. Without that also, you can do great work. Like Raj Kapoor ji, Hrishikesh Mukherjee ji and Shyam Benegal ji have done timeless work. They didn't feel the need to include gaalis."

He went on to add, "If you want to show reality, then also show people going to the toilet and taking a bath. What you cater to the audience, matters. What you see, remains with you. Do you want to create a society in which people talk only using abusive language? There is a limit for everything. If it is within limit, it is enjoyable. If it goes beyond limit, it starts troubling you."

The actor was against imitating the west. He stated, "I can understand that you need to change with time and evolve. Lekin kya gaali dena aage badhna hai? Whatever is happening in the west, you want to do that here. The west is looking at the culture of the east. Our culture and traditions are the oldest. We have so many amazing things in our culture and without knowing that, you have to blindly follow the west. In their culture, they use the F word a lot and so it doesn't seem unnatural in their shows and content. It's not that here. Do you talk to your parents like that?"
