Amruta Khanvilkar speaks about OTT censorship

In an exclusive chat with us, Amruta Khanvilkar said that certain content on OTT should be censored. The actress added that the streaming platforms are a place where everybody can access the content. "More than anybody, I am worried about the children. When I say children, I am not saying kids but the ones who are below 16 or 18 - even they can channel through all this," Khanvilkar told OTTplay.

The actress recalled watching a series on the life of (American serial killer) Jeffrey Dahmer. Revealing how she felt after watching the show, Amruta said, "I watched a web series, and (despite) being an adult I was disturbed (by watching it). (Jeffrey) Dahmer ke upar ek series aayi thi aur maine vo dekhi thi. And it kind of plays with your mind and it plays on your brain. It really demolishes you in a certain way."

Continuing her conversation with OTTplay, Amruta said certain things should get banned in the digital space in India where 'we are so sensitive as a society'. "I feel nudity should get banned a bit. I also feel that jo cheez jis age mein honi chahiye vo ussi age mein honi chahiye," added Khanvilkar.
