Businessman Raj Kundra has been arrested for making obscene films and uploading them on OTT platforms. Raj Kundra is the husband of the well-known Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. Allegations are made against him for uploading adult content on an app named Hotshots.

While pornography is illegal in India, numerous OTT platforms are reportedly producing adult content. In this digital era, adult content is being marketed as erotic, filled with nudity and cheap narratives. OTT platforms have emerged as a new channel for this type of content, with people subscribing to view it.

OTT Platforms Streaming 'Erotic Content'

Many OTT platforms provide access to this type of content, ranging from small to large platforms. Alongside Hotshots Digital Entertainments, other apps like Fliz Movies, Kooku, Primeflix, 8Shots, and Gupchup also contain vast quantities of explicit material. Shows like Gandi Baat, XXX, Dubeyji And The Boys, and Kavita Bhabhi have also faced criticism.

Millions of Downloads

These applications rack up millions of downloads. For instance, the Kooku app has been downloaded by over a million people. Fliz Movies has exceeded 100,000 downloads, Primeflix has over 500,000, and Gupchup has been downloaded more than 100,000 times.

What kind of films does Raj Kundra make? Gehana Vasisth, who has worked with him, reveals insights:

Newcomers Becoming Prey

Aspiring actors arrive in Mumbai from cities big and small to work in Bollywood. Under the pretext of web series auditions, newcomers get caught in this trap. Initially touted for film, serial, or web series roles, script changes at the last minute lead them to semi-nude footage. Many models have raised their voices against these practices.
