The Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) may have asked the makers of Finding Fanny to chop the line -'I am a virgin', owing to the use of the word 'virgin', but the dialogue has been retained in the promo, which is currently on air. It still remains unclear whether the word 'virgin' is a complete no-no, or if the filmmakers will be barred from using the word only in a certain context. Apparently , the film's director, Homi Adajania, felt that the CBFC was being stringent with his film.

Nandini Sardesai, a senior CBFC member, asserts, “It is very subjective, just a perception and there are no set rules on the usage of such words. And the producer has every right to appeal to the revising committee if they are not satisfied with the decision of the examining committee. It is strange that the dialogue has been allowed in the promo, but not in the movie.“

Neither the CBFC Chairperson, Leela Samson, nor the makers of Finding Fanny were available for comment.
