In relation to a video that is currently making news on social media, Sony Pictures Networks has been charged by the National Commission for the Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) of airing improper content. The judges in a section of the Sony television programme “Super Dancer – Chapter 3” ask a young contestant “inappropriate and sexually explicit questions” about his parents. The producers of the dance reality show were ordered by the commission to remove one episode.

In its letter to the channel, NCPCR stated, “The Commission has come across a video on Twitter from your kid’s dance show called Super Dancer Chapter 3 which was aired on Sony Entertainment Television, wherein it is seen that the judges on the show were asking the minor child vulgar and sexually explicit questions regarding his parents on stage.” It added that the Commission is of the view that all the questions asked to the minor child were “inappropriate and disturbing in nature and not meant to be asked to children.”
