New Delhi: A hostel named ‘Ahilyabai’ has been depicted on Ekta Kapoor’s ALTBalaji show ‘Virgin Bhasskar 2’, after which there was an outbreak as it has offended a certain section of the society. The producer issued an apology soon after saying that the scene was never meant to be an act of disrespect. She further assured that the scene has also been removed from the show. Even after Ekta Kapoor’s apology, her Mumbai residence was vandalised on Tuesday. The vandalization led to the destruction of lights of the main gate of the producer’s residence and glasses were shattered. Though there has been no large-scale damage being done to the property, security outside Ekta Kapoor’s residence has been toughened. Ekta Kapoor’s apology read, “It has just been brought to my notice that there is a scene in an ALTBalaji show ‘Virgin Bhasskar 2’, where a hostel named ‘Ahilyabai’, has been depicted, which has offended a certain section of society. The scene that is being pointed towards was never meant to be an act of disrespect, with only a first name being used as the name of the hostel, with no surname mentioned. Yet, the said scene has been promptly removed by the creative directors of the show. A name has been used which in no way insinuates disrespect to any specific individual, let alone an iconic leader.” The ‘Ragini MMS 2’ producer concluded, “To put it on record, neither am I involved in this series nor do I creatively oversee the show. However, I would like to tender an apology on behalf of the team for unintentionally hurting sentiments. We have the highest regard for the rich legacy of our Maratha leaders.” Stay tuned for more updates!
