    In India, there is no demarcation between children and adult TV programming. Children often watch same serials as adults and in many households, parents have no idea that adult programs with b....y language and b....y plots are not suitable for children. So it is not surprising when children imitate something they saw on TV along with parents.

    People agitating to ban Padmavati are brain washed by sanghis and dont want to accept the truth.

    The producer/director of the "Nandini" should be asked to compensate. Why there was no adequate warning given shown in the episode? People are getting away with playing with lives of others.
