मुंबई, महाराष्ट्र: IANS को दिए एक्सक्लूसिव इंटरव्यू में एक्ट्रेस फ्लोरा सैनी ने OTT प्लेटफॉर्म्स पर हो रहे बोल्ड कंटेंट और सेंसरशिप के मुद्दे पर अपना स्ट्रांग स्टैंड रखा। उन्होंने कहा कि “Freedom comes with responsibility” और कंटेंट बनाना एक क्रिएटिव ड्यूटी है, जिसका मिसयूज नहीं होना चाहिए। फ्लोरा का मानना है कि कुछ प्लेटफॉर्म्स सिर्फ 'objectification of women' दिखा रहे हैं, जिसे आर्ट नहीं कहा जा सकता। उन्होंने सरकार के उस कदम का समर्थन किया जिसमें कुछ प्लेटफॉर्म्स को बैन किया गया क्योंकि वहां अश्लील कंटेंट की भरमार थी। उनका कहना है कि कंटेंट क्रिएटर्स और एक्टर्स दोनों की ज़िम्मेदारी है कि ऐसा कुछ न बनाएं जिससे समाज को गलत मैसेज जाए। फ्लोरा ने बताया कि उन्होंने गंदी बात जैसे शो सिर्फ एक्सपेरिमेंट के तौर पर किया था लेकिन आज कंटेंट की दिशा बदल चुकी है।

00:00First of all, welcome to IONES.
00:02Thank you so much.
00:03First of all, what are you saying?
00:06The government has called Balaji and some of the apps that are showing the expected content,
00:14banned the app.
00:16So, what do you think about adult and old content?
00:19Do you think it is necessary for censorship or for artists' creativity?
00:24No, I think the government has taken a good stand.
00:28And what is it?
00:30The things that they were saying about entertainment,
00:34I think they can't even speak about art.
00:37And there are many reasons why I support this.
00:40One is that in our country, many people who don't have read books.
00:45They don't know what they are seeing.
00:48It's a real life, it's a real life.
00:50They don't know the difference.
00:52And the way things are happening in Bangalore,
00:55a case where a lady was going to kiss her face and cut her lips.
01:01So, the things that are happening today,
01:04I think that because there is no education,
01:08and people get inspired by it sometimes,
01:12that is a very challenging phase.
01:14The other thing is that today,
01:16when I come to mobile,
01:18there are little children.
01:19I am not so tech savvy.
01:22There is no knowledge about mobile and apps.
01:25There are a few apps that I am working on.
01:28And there are many apps that I don't know.
01:30Even the apps banned.
01:32There are many names that I have never heard.
01:34So, the kids who are so smart today,
01:38to get mobile to their hands,
01:40and to get all these content freely available,
01:42that is a very sad thing.
01:45The other thing is that the creators,
01:48they have a lot of pressure on them.
01:50Because these apps and these content,
01:52because they are free,
01:55content is also like that,
01:57and people are not educated,
01:58so they are drawn on them,
02:00and they see things,
02:01they are more consumption of these things.
02:04So, on the creators,
02:06what I have mentioned today,
02:07about Instagram,
02:08the content,
02:09I think there are many things on Instagram,
02:12which should not be safe on Instagram,
02:13which is not safe for kids.
02:14And these are still apps,
02:16but how will they get away from Instagram?
02:19You know, they are using small children in school.
02:21There is also a lot of content,
02:23which is inspired by,
02:25there are many influencers,
02:26which are coming out of something.
02:28These are all,
02:29I don't think,
02:30they are giving a good message to society.
02:34And,
02:35I also believe that,
02:37a freedom of expression,
02:40comes with a little responsibility,
02:43because the stories of the cinema,
02:45is always a,
02:47I always say,
02:49a motto,
02:51or a thing,
02:53that they tell you a story,
02:55but,
02:57a message is very important.
02:58This content,
02:59I don't think,
03:01any message,
03:02except objectifying women,
03:04and,
03:05it is very good for the government.
03:07There should be a little line,
03:09raw,
03:10the creators,
03:11it is very good for them,
03:13because,
03:14the producers,
03:16the directors,
03:17they say,
03:18they will make it,
03:19the creators are saying,
03:20we will not have a choice,
03:21we will also make it.
03:22But,
03:23everyone is in a loop,
03:25somewhere,
03:26somewhere,
03:27and I really salute,
03:28and applaud the government,
03:29for taking such a bold stand.
03:30Ma'am,
03:31you also said,
03:32you've also said,
03:33you've been working on the movie,
03:34in the movie,
03:35in the movie,
03:36so,
03:37do you think,
03:38that after the band,
03:39has a negative effect,
03:40after your career,
03:41no,
03:42I've only done one thing,
03:43and I haven't done anything,
03:44and,
03:45then,
03:46Akta Kapoor,
03:47was running alt,
03:49and,
03:50I'll tell you,
03:51that,
03:52when it started,
03:53it was a new era of web series,
03:54so,
03:55all the makers,
03:56for them,
03:57freedom of expression,
03:58again,
03:59that's the word,
04:00a new thing,
04:01because,
04:02such things,
04:03were never seen in Indian theatre,
04:05or TV,
04:06and the space of web,
04:08again,
04:09coming back to,
04:10when it was available on the internet,
04:12on the mobile,
04:13and,
04:14after that,
04:15I think,
04:16that,
04:17that,
04:18we have censorship,
04:19even,
04:20I'll tell you,
04:21that,
04:22when the series was released,
04:23freedom of expression,
04:24it was better,
04:25it's better,
04:26it's better,
04:27it's better,
04:28good makers,
04:29it's a freedom of expression,
04:31that,
04:32because,
04:33we belong to the school,
04:34that,
04:35we're watching in a film,
04:36but,
04:37we're educated people,
04:38we're used to watching in a film,
04:40and knowing,
04:41that,
04:42this is the story,
04:43this is the story,
04:44that,
04:45if the husband,
04:46wife,
04:47boyfriend,
04:48girlfriend,
04:49will show,
04:50that,
04:51this is the story,
04:52that,
04:53this is the story,
04:54that,
04:55from anyone's hands, everyone's hands is mobile, but who is mobile, is that he is so educated,
05:02is that his self-censorship is so important to know that he is a story, he is actors,
05:08he is an actor, he is a actor, he is not a life. So I think that there is no difference
05:16on my career. For me, talking to me was challenging because again,
05:24when I saw Shabana Azmi Ji in the fire and Bandit Queen Seema Biswas,
05:39I said, my God, these people are a Bollywood, they say,
05:45everything is, but what extra, what more can you do?
05:49You can go to the trees, but I thought they were really on top of the game,
05:53they have acted very well, but I am evolved, I am educated, I can say,
05:57I am acting, there are actors. So from that time, this time,
06:01until my time and today's time, where I am talking about creators for a PR stunt,
06:07they are taking something out of a PR stunt, so these things, it has gone downhill.
06:13So somewhere, somewhere, it is not very necessary. So tomorrow, it will be like,
06:17where are we headed?
06:25I think there was no censorship on OTT till now.
06:27Censorship, I have also been, it is good, but again,
06:31there are many right-wrong, there are many right-wrong,
06:35there are many right-wrong, there are many right-wrong,
06:39there are many right-wrong, but it is a film that is a film that I have said,
06:43by that time, I have been asked, I don't even know, I have not even know,
06:45but I am part of CBFC, I have censored in the film,
06:48and my name is Censor Board Certificate.
06:50So, censorship, it is good, but again,
06:57there are many right-wrong, there are many right-wrong,
07:01there are many right-wronges, but it is a film,
07:03that I am saying, we are coming from that era,
07:05where there were only films and TV.
07:09Now, if we go to OTT,
07:12there is so much content,
07:14there will be so much delay for everyone to get censorship.
07:18But the government has done that,
07:20there are some apps that cross the lines.
07:24One is that this is your story.
07:26You are showing suggestively, tastefully.
07:29Because in the story,
07:31it is necessary.
07:33There are some people who are forgetting
07:36and are actually going towards nudity.
07:39So, to make that line,
07:41to maintain their ladies' respect,
07:45females of a society,
07:47it is very necessary.
07:48We do not want to be,
07:50we are highly populated,
07:52we don't want to become a bond capital.
07:54Ma'am,
07:55do you think that the world content
07:57will impact creative freedom
08:00or to protect the moral values of society?
08:03No.
08:04The moral values of society,
08:06we have to have the moral compass within us.
08:09Because no one can sit full of time.
08:12And today,
08:13if I am a child of 8th or 9th class,
08:17and I give the wrong age,
08:19who is going to check?
08:20Nobody.
08:21Your parents can check.
08:22You can put a parental lock.
08:24But that also,
08:25if your child,
08:26you will buy it on the mobile,
08:27then who is going to check?
08:29And it is not.
08:30How many children of children have time for their children?
08:35If one child has open content,
08:37everyone can see it.
08:38So, no.
08:39I do not think that
08:40that moral compassing would have to be.
08:42Do you think that the world content
08:44will impact creative freedom
08:46or the moral balance of society?
08:49Perfect question.
08:50No.
08:51It does not affect creative freedom.
08:53Because,
08:54your story is that
08:55if you show a sex scene
08:56in a long way,
08:57then you are making a wrong content.
08:59Like I said,
09:00you have to show love between a husband and wife.
09:02You have to have a kiss.
09:04You have to have a kiss.
09:05You have to have a kiss.
09:06You have to have a kiss.
09:07You have to have a kiss.
09:08You have to have a kiss.
09:09You have to have a kiss.
09:10You have to have a kiss.
09:11You have to have a kiss.
09:12You have to have a kiss.
09:13You have to have a kiss.
09:14You have to have a kiss.
09:15Your whole body is safe.
09:16And you have to have a kiss.
09:17What is it that a kiss?
09:18They are not required to show all the time.
09:19You have to have a kiss
09:20so I have to make it clear.
09:21I mean,
09:22your content is not stopping to do creative freedom.
09:24There are certain types of scenes
09:25that we are exploiting.
09:27And actually it is not creativity.
09:30It is exploitation of art,
09:32exploitation of actors,
09:33and I think the government has done a very good job.
09:39Do you think you should be responsible for your audience or are you limited to your work?
09:51No, you can't put responsibility on the actors.
09:54This is the makers.
09:56And the makers will make the content they want to see the audience.
10:00Because if I'm making that content, if my audience is saying that I need romance or fight and I'm making content, then no one will see my picture.
10:11So it is a vicious cycle.
10:14What are the audiences consuming?
10:16The makers are making that.
10:18The actors are making that.
10:19Otherwise, the actors will sit at home and say that I won't do this or that.
10:23So the responsibility is above all.
10:25But more than anybody is above the audience.
10:28Then the makers will come.
10:30And the actors can't say that I won't do this work.
10:34If you don't do it, you can't sit at home.
10:36No matter what.
10:37They are a lot of people.
10:39Because everyone needs their work.
10:41And the people who come to the bomb, they have a lot of struggle.
10:45They have to pay rent.
10:47They have a lot of hard life.
10:49So they don't die.
10:52It is that.
10:53And no other actor wants to do this content.
10:57I want to do it.
10:58I want to do it myself.
10:59Yes, I wanted to do it.
11:01And our bad thing, it is not.
11:05There is no part of your body that is shown.
11:08Right?
11:09It is erotic, but it is also suggestive.
11:12And there is no part of the audience.
11:16There is a lot of play.
11:18I have always said that after all, they have played with music.
11:21They have played with lighting.
11:22They have played with cameras.
11:24So there are a lot of things in a scene.
11:26The audience has said, oh my god, what happened?
11:29And that is the magic of filmmaking.
11:33You don't need to see a person nude.
11:37To show that this is happening.
11:39In a very different way,
11:41you say film making.
11:43Make believe.
11:45I want to ask you,
11:47that like old balaji,
11:49Ulu app,
11:51all these things are happening.
11:53But Netflix and Amazon Prime,
11:55there are also many scenes that we can see with family.
11:59I want to ask you,
12:01I want to ask you.
12:03So, again,
12:05I will tell you about the difference.
12:07As I know this,
12:11I know this.
12:13I have come to Netflix.
12:15It has come to season 2.
12:17And in season 1 to season 2,
12:19Netflix has also sanitized its content.
12:23It has not made anything like that.
12:25First,
12:27I believe that,
12:29with the secret games,
12:33and a lot of series,
12:35where, you know,
12:37it was creative freedom suddenly.
12:39But they were good makers,
12:41who had to do this,
12:43you know,
12:45whether it was not allowed so many times,
12:47they thought that this is creative freedom.
12:49This type of story meeting is.
12:51But today,
12:53even Netflix, even Prime,
12:55they are not making such content.
12:56They have already started censorship.
12:58This I know,
13:00because,
13:02I have finished it from the second season.
13:04And that has been the thing.
13:06and the,
13:08this thing.
13:10But,
13:12what you asked about
13:14Amazon,
13:15Netflix,
13:16I think,
13:17that censorship has already done.
13:18But again,
13:19mind you,
13:20Netflix and Prime,
13:21India,
13:22you know,
13:24they are not,
13:25they are a world,
13:26global platforms.
13:27global stories.
13:29And,
13:30I am talking about Indian content,
13:31but,
13:33Netflix,
13:35I will get American,
13:37Russian,
13:38I mean,
13:39it's a world platform.
13:40Right?
13:41So,
13:42you,
13:43you will do it,
13:44but,
13:45what else you can see,
13:46is it?
13:47I have a problem,
13:48especially,
13:49the local,
13:50our content makers,
13:51local apps,
13:52who,
13:53they want to make it,
13:54but,
13:55they are not there,
13:56they are not there,
13:57they are not there,
13:58they are not there,
13:59they are not there,
14:00they are not there,
14:01in the background.
14:03Yes,
14:04I am I sorry,
14:05that this is,
14:06I mean,
14:07moral,
14:08they are told to
14:09that,
14:10the people,
14:11we have already seen,
14:12that in automatic,
14:13the people,
14:14they have seen,
14:15more,
14:16and more.
14:17So,
14:18this is a matter of,
14:19I mean,
14:20I am saying a little question.
14:21The people,
14:22the people in the terrorists,
14:23they all have seen.
14:24Yes.
14:25And,
14:26some of us,
14:27the party members,
14:28so,
14:29So I think government has taken this step, which I totally support and salute that it is high time.
14:49If this content has reached the parliament, then lawmakers have taken a step for this.
14:59Do you think it reflects the change in views of society or the trend that they are doing normalize?
15:12So, it was happening in the normalization.
15:17But now I think that everyone has been getting.
15:20Everyone has said that it is a lot.
15:22We have seen a lot of the content in lockdown.
15:26And I don't think.
15:29I know many actors that are bold, including me.
15:34I don't want to do it.
15:36Because it's done.
15:38If they are doing that same thing, you know, it is not.
15:43It is not.
15:44It is not.
15:45It is not.
15:46It is not.
15:47It is not.
15:48It is not.
15:49It is not.
15:50It is not.
15:51It is not.
15:52It is not.
15:53It is not.
15:54It is not.
15:55It is not.
15:56It is not.
15:57It is not.
15:58It is not.
15:59It is not.
16:00It is not.
16:01It is not.
16:02It is not.
16:03It is.
16:04very successful.
16:05It is not.
16:06It was not.
16:07It is not.
16:08It is not.
16:09It is the same as a girl in the world.
16:10is saying that this film like DDLJ and our, who are you, without any gali galoch, without
16:17any mar peet, without any sex scene, they also like so much that they are watching it.
16:25So punishment? I think our legal system also needs a little shake-up, and I say one thing
16:55I say, there are so many rapes, there are so many unbelievable cases from Nirbhaya to that
17:01college girl's rape. How many girls with such horrific rapes are, because these rules
17:11will change. In our country, why are the U.A.E. countries, where the punishment is death,
17:20why are we not able to get it, why are we not able to get it strict punishment, why are
17:24rapists giving so much chance that you are sitting in jail, you know, years and years
17:30and years. And I really feel that if we are putting this ban, to make this country a safe
17:38place for women, only putting this ban is one part. But we have to do law strict. Not just
17:46I said, yes, we have seen the content and then done something, but rapes in general,
17:52thanks to social media, awareness has increased. And we have had the rarest of rare rape cases.
17:59But the punishment is not just that. We listen to little children, you know,
18:07you say, you know, let's go for girls, you say, you know, provocative dress or something,
18:12you know, for the heck of it. We don't say that people don't have the right education,
18:18they are not at all, they are not at all, they are not at all, they are not at all,
18:21because the girls will go out and work out, they are not at all. You know,
18:26so what is objectionable to anyone? What dress is objectionable to anyone?
18:30What is not? What is it? What is it? What is it? What is it?
18:32And when it is rape with little children, then you cannot talk about provocative, you know,
18:39you cannot talk about it. So I think, capital punishment, death by hanging,
18:43strict punishment for rapists, it is difficult to make this country a little.
18:50I think it is necessary. If we are changing with times,
18:54there are some things that we have adopted from Western countries,
18:57like dustbin, cleanliness, all that we have adopted from foreign,
19:01but there are some other things that we have adopted from foreign countries.
19:04So if we have to take it, really, this will be safe, not just for Indian ladies,
19:09but even foreigners who come to India,
19:11who also came in front of the advisory,
19:13the other governments, the U.K. and the U.S. have given their tourists,
19:17that India is a rape capital, which is wrong.
19:20It is a very good country, it is a very safe country.
19:23We just need stricter punishment to make it even more safer,
19:26because those who are doing the wrong, they are not afraid.
19:29They know they will go to jail, they will be buried,
19:31and they will go to jail, they will be sitting, they will not be afraid.
19:35What are your future projects?

20:12Okay.
20:13I just want to give a message to my fans,
20:16that please be responsible,
20:18please put your moral compass in your inside.
20:21That's why our government has taken the entertainment industry.
20:30Making it a safe place for women,
20:32where there are good stories,
20:34where women don't objectify.
20:36And you know,
20:37they can work very proudly,
20:39they can work very well.
20:40We are very proud that we can show all of our parents that we have done this work.

20:46these phases are brought to you.
20:49And I really wish and hope,
20:51that you like the good content,
20:52that you like it.
20:53The clean content,
20:55that you support it.

21:02that you love media people.
21:03Please appreciate.
21:04So that,
21:05make us,
21:06make good content.
21:07Actors get to do better content.
21:09And,
21:10that's why children learn more than us.
21:12They learn very good content.
21:14The purpose of cinema is to share stories such as,
21:15building the children to become a good human being,
21:18to do good for society.
21:20And this message,
21:22will be the best on cinema.
21:24We saw that face on cinema.
21:26You know,
21:27Amitah Bachchan has such good films in the years
21:30in a good film of brothers and sisters' relationships,
21:34brothers and sisters.
21:36So, I think our kids also deserve something equally beautiful.
