Ek Thi Daayan Movie invite to Wiccan sparks controversy
Ekta Kapoor New controversya
h. This time round, it's the invite of
her latest film Ek Thi Daayan's (ETD) promotional
campaign that has sparked off a fresh controversy.
What happened was that Balaji Telefilms had sent an
invitation to the Kolkata based Ipsita Roy Chakraverti
(the self-proclaimed Wiccan priestess cum author cum
social activist) asking her to be a part of the film's
promotional drive. To everyone's shock, Ipsita, not just
refused to be a part of the film's promotions, but also
found it offensive the way witches are allegedly portrayed
in ETD. That's why she met President Pranab Mukherjee and
requested him to pass on the matter to Mamta Sharma
(NWCC- National Women's Commission's chief). News is
that because the recommendation has come from the
President's office, NWCC has taken up the matter on
a priority basis, which will now have Balaji Telefilms
receiving a notice for the same.
