West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has urged the makers of Bengali
TV serials to avoid “objectionable” content that could spread hatred in the society.
“I watch TV serials and nowadays I am noticing a section of Bengali TV shows are portraying our values in negative terms. There is a trend in TV serials showing a man who is not aware of his father’s identity. A man having multiple wives is another trend seen in TV serials. Beside these, there will be a villain who is a troublemaker in the family,” she said.
“Such serials are corrupting or minds. Especially the young ones are getting affected,” she told the celebrities from Tollywood in attendance.
“There should be some check as such objectionable content corrupts minds and is responsible for rising number of crimes. Wife is hiring supari killer to eliminate her husband because she want to live with someone else, multiple wives, live-in partners, club culture etc are actually affecting young mind and this should be stopped,” he added.
