Actor Sachin Pilgaonkar is not only demanding for increased scrutiny on the content being churned out in the web space, but also wants stricter censorship to regulate the haywire going OTT space.

“The change that is coming in the OTT space is both good and bad. For instance, there’s no censor for the space, and due to its absence, there are some people who’re taking advantage of it,” the actor points, adding, “I’m not saying that everybody is doing it. But some are putting abuses unnecessarily. Jahan demand bhi nahi tab bhi gaaliyan dal rahe hai.”

Apart from the cuss words, Pilgaonkar, 63, feels sex scenes are also not being used judiciously, and a lot of time being incorporated only to grab eyeballs. “At some places, it’s the demand of the story but jahan zaroorat nahi hai, udhar bhi dhikha rahe hai,” says the actor.

He’s not willing to accept this change, and picks up a reference from his show, City of Dreams Season 2, to explain his point. “There was a scene, where my character was supposed to hurl an abuse as per the script, and when I said that, my director Nagesh Kukunoor asked me to skip it. Later, he confessed that it was sounding off. Jahan jiski zaroorat hai utna theek hai,” he stresses.

However, pointing at the silver lining, he says, “Good things are more in number than the bad things. In that way, we’re lucky and fortunate.”
