Bobby Deol's 'Aashram 2' in legal trouble after Karni Sena's notice? Here's the truth

Be it Paatal Lok, Sadak 2 or the most recent Kaun Banega Crorepati, ventures have been accused of ‘hurting religious sentiments’, bringing legal trouble to the makers. Another series that too has been under fire from a section of the internet is the Bobby Deol-starrer series Aashram. However, a fake notice had been sent recently to showcase that the Rajput group Karni Sena had objected to the show, something the director Prakash Jha clarified.

No opposition to Aashram 2 from Karni Sena

A notice, that claimed it was on behalf of Karni Sena’s Surjeet Singh was sent to Prakash Jha recently. In the notice, it was alleged that the show had ‘deeply hurt the sentiments of the people', 'spread negative goodwill about Hindu religion’ and ‘targetted ancient tradition, custom, the culture of Hindus, Ashram’s Dharma, which disturbs people at large.' It also alleged that the first season showed 'lots of objectionable scenes degrading the image of Ashram', as it sought the removal of the trailer and stalling of the release of the series.

The Maharashtra division of the Karni Sena, shared the fake notice on Twitter and wrote, “A forged notice was created in the name of the country’s biggest organisation and sent to director Prakash Jha. We are not related to this forged notice and there will be an inquiry against those misusing the name of Karni Sena.”
