Ajaz Khan sparks outrage after his controversial clip from a reality show goes viral; netizens demand immediate action

Actor Ajaz Khan found himself in the middle of a controversy after video clip of his reality show House Arrest, which streams on the Ullu App, went viral on social media. He is observed asking contestants to perform different Kamasut** positions in the video, a decision that has been criticised by netizens as well as political leaders alike.
The overtness of the content has attracted severe criticism, with most accusing the show of going beyond ethical limits in the name of entertainment. Social media sites are now filled with tweets criticizing both Ajaz Khan and the producers of the show. One outraged user tweeted, "What is wrong with this man? Why is he behaving like this. This is seriously concerning and a total damning of our culture.". We call for stern action against this buffoon @AjazkhanActor for encouraging utter obscenity on his show #HouseArrest.Ban this show at once." Another commented, "This need to stop. We need to take serious action against this man.”
The row also spilled over to the political spectrum. BJP Jharkhand MP Nishikant Dubey from the Godda constituency of Jharkhand re-shared the clip on social media, tagging the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting. He posted, "Yaha nahi chalega. Hamari committee iss par karwaai karegi," indicating potential intervention by parliament.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi also flagged the issue. "I have brought this in the Standing Committee—that apps such as Ullu App and Alt Balaji have circumvented the I&B ministry's ban on obscene material. I am still waiting for their reply," she said, further ratcheting up the issue at the policy level.

As the outrage against House Arrest builds, #BanHouseArrest is trending on popular social media sites. Despite the furore, neither Ajaz Khan nor app has made an official statement. The incident has once again brought into focus the ongoing debate concerning regulation of OTT content in India and the loopholes digital media platforms allegedly use to circumvent censorship. Ajaz is yet to react to it.
