Anushka Sharma's web venture Paatal Lok received a very good response on social media. Quite a few celebrities and netizens gave a thumbs up to this crime-drama. However, now the producers of this web-series are in legal trouble. The Gurkha community is asking for an apology as the web-series has a slur being directed to the Nepali community. Now, on social media, people are bashing the show for promoting casteism and even showing Hindus in a bad light. Along with Paatal Lok, shows like Code M and Court Martial too are being dragged in as #CensorWebSeries trends on Twitter.
Using the trending hashtag, a netizen wrote, "Badlighting Hindu religion is what the #Secularism is in this country #Webseries #boycottpaatallok #CensorWebSeries." People are also saying that the Indian Army is being shown in a bad light through these web-series. Talking about Code M and Court Martial, a netizen wrote, "Why silent on Anti-Army Webseries? 'Court Martial' - Punjabi Hindu officer is Casteist, Anti Dalit & Woman Abuser. 'Code M’ - Senior officer is Caste obsessed Rajput. Jr. officers homosexuals. Why No action by @adgpi @DefenceMinIndia."

Talking about the backlash received by Paatal Lok, a BJP MLA even asked Virat Kohli to divorce Anushka Sharma as he considers her to be anti-Indian. An MLA names Nandkishor Gurjar was quoted saying, "Virat Kohli desh bhakt hai, desh k liye khele hai. Anushka ko talak de dena chahiye (Virat is a nationalist as he has played for the nation, he should divorce Anushka)."
