As a result, the show’s producers have decided to pull it from the Owl app. Actress Jewel Vasistha has come out in support of Ejaz and the censorship board regarding the OTT platform.
**Key Points:**

– She has called for a censorship board for OTT platforms.

**Overview of the Situation**
**New Delhi.** Actor and host Ejaz Khan has been making headlines lately for his controversial remarks, and his show ‘House Arrest’ is currently under scrutiny. Following allegations of inappropriate content, a case has been filed against Ejaz and the production team at the Amboli police station in Mumbai. In light of these controversies, the production team has removed all episodes from the Owl app. Amid the uproar, actress Jewel Vasistha, who participates in the show, has voiced her support for both the producers and Ejaz Khan.
The ‘House Arrest’ show is a reality program hosted by Ejaz Khan, featuring 8-10 contestants, including five women. It premiered on the Owl app on April 18 and falls under the non-fiction category, showcasing drama and bold, unfiltered content. Viewers have witnessed contestants engaging in bizarre and explicit tasks, with Ejaz also assigning them provocative challenges, escalating the situation further.
**Call for Censorship on OTT Content**
Actress Jewel Vasistha, who appears in viral videos associated with the show, has publicly backed Ejaz. In an interview with India Today, she stated, “Instead of singling out specific shows, a censor board should be established for OTT platforms to evaluate content. The reality is that such content is being produced and consumed. If audiences stop watching, this type of content would cease to exist.”
**Defense of Ejaz Khan**
When questioned about whether the provocative scenes were deliberately included for publicity, Jewel emphasized that no producer aims to embroil their show in controversy. She also defended Ejaz Khan, asserting that he is being unjustly targeted. Despite his outwardly aggressive demeanor, she clarified that this is not his true nature and denied any pressure on contestants. She suggested that if another actor had hosted the show, they might not have faced the same level of scrutiny.
**Advocacy for Regulation**
Jewel further expressed her ongoing appeal to the Ministry of Broadcasting, advocating for a censorship system for web series over the past two years. She argued that clear guidelines could help in regulating content, allowing for edits if any inappropriate material is produced. Jewel concluded by stating that without established boundaries, the current situation will persist, leading to the production of such content.
