Run Pehredaar Piya Ki In A LATE NIGHT Slot: BCCC Directs Sony TV
Not just this! The channel will have to run a disclaimer throughout the show saying that it does not encourage child marriage...
Sony TV’s Pehredaar
Piya Ki is in the headlines almost every day now. Probably the show’s
viewership has increased with so much negative publicity just to know what’s
wrong with it.
The show which is
produced by Shashi Sumeet Productions went on air last month and since then is
surrounded by controversies for its content.

However, for
those who thought that the show would probably go off air after a petition was filed against
Pehredaar Piya Ki demanding a ban on the show, especially when
I&B Minister, Smriti Irani supported public’s opinion, here’s an
update- Pehredaar Piya Ki will now play in a late night slot of 10
pm. Also, it will run an advisory
disclaimer throughout the show, saying that the show does not promote child
marriage and it’s a work of fiction.
On Wednesday, the
officials of Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) met for a discussion, post which a statement was
issued saying, "We had a monthly meeting and the channel officials were
called for a discussion, which went on for quite long. After everything, they
were directed that the timing of the show should be shifted to a late night
slot of 10 pm and that
they must run a disclaimer.”

Pehredaar Piya Ki.
Sony TV's
controversial show brings to the audience the atrocious story of a
9-year-old boy(Afaan Khan) getting married to an 18-year-old girl (Tejaswi).
The recent episodes, which highlighted a suhaag raat scene where a young kid
enjoys filling his wife’s forehead with sindoor, have shocked the nation to no
end.
