A couple of clips from the daily soap are currently going viral on social media in which the 16-year-old actress Yashika Sharma is seen performing an intimate moment with co-star Himanshu Awasthie (24). It has to be noted that Rimjhim focuses on the romantic relationship between a teenager and an adult played by Yashika and Himanshu, respectively. The video clip has left the netizens furious, as the romance between a teenager and an adult is not going down well with them.
Yashika Sharma’s Intimate Scene In Rimjhim – Choti Umar Bada Safar
In a recent episode of the Dangal show, Rimjhim – Choti Umar Bada Safar, Sameer (Himanshu) takes off his kurta in front of Rimjhim (Yashika). He pulls her close and covers her upper body after noticing her blouse has come undone. After putting a veil on her head, Sameer and Rimjhim end the romantic moment with a warm hug.
Another scene from the show left everyone in shock as the two actors were seen together in bed. Such scenes focused on Rimjjhim’s bare back. Those clips sparked outrage online, and netizens started demanding a ban on Rimjhim – Choti Umar Bada Safar.
The clippings and screenshots of the scenes are going viral on Reddit since the episode aired on the small screen. Netizens have given their reactions to it. One user wrote, “I have mailed few authorities to ban this show . I’m done with the shit shows what is happening recently on itv.” (sic)
Another user mentioned that the Indian TV industry has touched its lowest low and is allegedly exploiting minor girls. The user called it ‘nightmare’.
One more user called the casting of teenagers for such shows or scenes ‘illegal’.
Despite facing a backlash, the makers of Rimjhim – Choti Umar Bada Safar have not yet released any official statement regarding the trolling. The demand for a ban against the daily soap is not a new thing.
What Happened With Pehredaar Piya Ki
Back in 2017, Tejasswi Prakash’s show, Pehredaar Piya Ki, was highly criticised by the netizens on social media. It showed a 9-year-old boy marrying a 19-year-old girl. The romantic moments between two individuals shown in the daily soap didn’t go down well with the viewers. They filed an online petition against the show.
Eventually, Pehredaar Piya Ki was taken off-air immediately after a month of its launch in August 2017. The makers restructured the show and launched it again with Tejasswi and Rohit Suchanti.
