How can a show that involves Rakhi Sawant avoid getting into trouble? Now, it seems ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ has entered a legal labyrinth. Though the channel NDTV Imagine managed to get an interim go-ahead from the Delhi High Court to continue the show but it won’t be easy as within 15 days the channel has to prove why there should not be any action against it for violating child rights.
On Tuesday, The Ministry of Information and Broadcast issued a showcause notice to the channel for “indecent exploitation of babies in the pursuit of entertainment”. The show inspired by BBC’s international show ‘Baby Borrowers’ shows five celeb couples raising all ages of childrean, from infants to teenagers.
As reported by a daily, the notice said that the channel was using children as “commodities”. It added that the programme appeared to “denigrate children” and could have a negative impact on young viewers. It happened after The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) reacted to complaints from concerned viewers and NGOs and urged the I&B ministry to take action.
The show is garnering good TRPs but let’s see what happens after 15 days.
