It was the 36-second teaser of Jab Harry Met Sejal which caused a furore in the CBFC (Central Board Of Film Certification). It had Anushka Sharma using the word 'intercourse' in conversation with Shah Rukh Khan and Censor Chief Pahlaj Nihalani announced that the word CANNOT be cleared. See the teaser below:
We have just received news that CBFC has cleared the Shah Rukh Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal without cuts. Wait till you hear this, the modern love story directed by Imtiaz Ali has got a U/A certificate!
We do not know whether Pahlaj Nihalani has allowed the word or Imtiaz deleted it before handing the final copy. Despite several calls and text messages, Nihalani chose to not comment. The silence is mysterious.

For those who've come in late, Nihalani had told a TV channel that he will only clear the use of the word 'intercourse' in Jab Harry Met Sejal’s promo if he gets one lakh votes from the common people in its support.
And he had another condition: Nihalani had told SpotboyE.com that he will not settle for votes from unmarried people, or those who are less than 36-years-old!

Well, we don’t think it will be long before we get to know whether Imtiaz played safe or got away from the always-in-function scissors on Nihalani’s desk.
Reason- Tomorrow, 1.30 pm, the first trailer of Jab Harry Met Sejal will be launched in front of the media. And we are sure that Imtiaz and Anushka, who will be present there, will be asked about this.
