Renowned Bollywood producer Ekta Kapoor—known for delivering blockbuster films such as Ek Villain, Dream Girl 2, and Crew—is back in the headlines, but this time, it’s not for her creative ventures. A Mumbai magistrate court has recently reprimanded the city police for failing to meet the deadline to submit an inquiry report in a long-pending complaint filed against Kapoor.
The complaint was originally lodged by social media personality Hindustani Bhau, who alleged that one of Kapoor’s web series on her OTT platform ALTBalaji disrespected Indian soldiers. The controversy stems from a 2020 scene that depicted a character in military uniform involved in a sexual act—a portrayal the complainant deemed deeply offensive and insulting to the armed forces.
Despite the court directing Khar police to investigate the matter thoroughly, progress has been sluggish. The police were expected to file their report by May 9, 2025, but failed to do so, prompting the court to demand an explanation for the delay. Notably, the complaint also names Kapoor’s parents—Shobha Kapoor and veteran actor Jeetendra—as co-accused.
This isn’t the first legal challenge Kapoor has faced. In 2024, she was booked in a separate FIR related to her controversial series Gandii Baat. The show drew criticism for allegedly depicting inappropriate content involving minors, following a complaint by Jabalpur BJP MLA Abhilash Pandey. These incidents have reignited debates over the boundaries of creative freedom on OTT platforms, with Kapoor’s content frequently landing in the crosshairs.
Yet, the ongoing legal scrutiny hasn’t slowed her down. Kapoor is currently overseeing the much-anticipated reboot of her iconic television serial Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, with original stars Smriti Irani and Amar Upadhyay returning to reprise their roles. The reboot is expected to run for 150 episodes and is being positioned as one of Indian television’s biggest comebacks.
As Kapoor forges ahead with her ambitious revival project, the legal and public scrutiny surrounding her digital ventures continues to cast a long shadow over her otherwise prolific career.
