OTT platform Netflix has also taken a stand in response to the legal notice received for using derogatory words related to Indian actresses Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai.
It should be noted that there was a controversy in India against the OTT platform Netflix’s show ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and an Indian political analyst sent a legal notice to the streaming platform.
An analyst named Mithan Vijay Kumar had accused the OTT platform of promoting abuse and showing derogatory content.
However, now in response to this, Netflix has given a statement saying that Netflix has forwarded the matter to the show production company Warner Bros.
When Mithun Vijay Kumar was asked about the position of Netflix, he replied that
As a savvy streaming service provider that understands cultural sensitivities, Netflix has informed the show’s original producers of the seriousness of the issue.
He said, “I hope that Warner Brothers will take appropriate measures regarding the content and ensure that their content is free of such abuse against people and cultures.”
It should be noted that in an episode of Big Bang Theory, two characters talk about Indian actresses Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit, in which one calls Aishwarya the poor man’s Madhuri Dixit, while the other calls Madhuri a prostitute.
