Arrest Warrants Issued Against Ekta Kapoor And Her Mother Shobha

Ekta Kapoor, a film producer, and director, and her mother Shobha Kapoor faced arrest warrants on Wednesday by a court in Begusarai, Bihar, for allegedly disrespecting soldiers and hurting their family members' feelings in her web series "XXX" (Season-2). The court of judge Vikas Kumar issued the warrant in response to a complaint made by Begusarai resident and ex-serviceman Shambhu Kumar.

In his 2020 lawsuit, Kumar claimed that Season 2 of the series "XXX" contained a number of offensive scenes involving a soldier's wife. "The series aired on ALTBalaji, an OTT platform owned by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms Ltd. Shobha Kapoor is also associated with Balaji Telefilms," said Hrishikesh Pathak, advocate for Kumar. "The court had issued summons to them (Kapoors) and asked them to appear before it in connection with the matter. They (Kapoors), however, informed the court that certain scenes in the series were removed after the objection. But they did not appear before the court following which the warrant was issued against them," Pathak added.
