After a lot of hue and cry the makers of Sony Entertainment Television’s most controversial show in recent times, Pehredaar Piya Ki, have been asked to shift their show from 8:30 PM slot to 10 PM slot, reportedly.
The reason behind the move is that the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC), a self-regulatory body under the Indian Broadcasting Foundation, does not find the show suitable enough for the viewing of the audience. Not just a change in its timing, but the show will have to simultaneously run a scroll stating that it doesn't promote child marriage.
For the uninitiated, the story of Pehredaar Piya Ki revolves around an 18-year-old girl who is married to a boy as young as 10 years. The wife has vowed to protect her husband from enemies who are planning to kill him for his property. The story has set against the backdrop of a rich Rajasthani royal family.
Pehredaar Piya Ki features well-known TV actress Tejasswi Prakash as the female lead while Affan Khan is seen as the male protagonist. The show has faced a lot of criticism of late for showing a relationship between a matured woman and a young boy.Producers Shashi and Sumeet Mittal have been trying their best to explain their stand through media, but it seems the BCCC has finally sealed the fate of the show by pushing it to a late night slot.
Information and broadcasting minister Smriti Irani had asked the BCCC to look into the matter when the criticism around the show touched its peak. Though no official announcement has been made about the change in its timing, industry sources confirm the show is indeed getting a new time slot.
