Alankrita Srivastava may have received numerous international awards for her film Lipstick Under My Burkha, but the filmmaker faced flak from the Indian Censor Board. Finally after a lot of fights, the film is seeing the light of the day with a new presenter, Ekta Kapoor.
Ekta began the #LipstickRebellion along with the cast and crew of the film, by sharing pics which resembled the latest poster of the film.
