CBFC’s Scissors Strike Again: Kissing Scene Trimmed in ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari’

The CBFC’s censorship practices have once again come under scrutiny. In the latest Hindi film ‘Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari,’ the board has significantly reduced a kissing scene featuring Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor. This decision, which involves a 75% reduction of the scene, has drawn criticism from industry veterans. Mahesh Bhatt, a well-known filmmaker, commented on the issue, highlighting how little has changed over time. He expressed that kissing is a normal representation of love. Aamir Khan also shared his thoughts on the censorship, pointing out that he had faced criticism in the past for a similar scene, but views intimate moments as a healthy portrayal of affection. The incident also recalls past instances, such as the censoring of kissing scenes in films like ‘Spectre’ and ‘Tamasha’.
