"Censor Board removed bits of Tusshaar Kapoor instead of 'sensual parts' from Dirty Picture"

When the upcoming movie 'Dirty Picture' was sent to the table of Censor Board to cut the sleaze out of the movie, the producers were shocked to receive the culled prints without the appearance of Tusshar Kapoor except for a minute or two after the interval and a 13 second flash-back near the end.
It was a surprisal for the producers as no scenes which were expected to be found as objectionable were trimmed from the movie. When Vidhya Ballan had set the television screen of fire with her revealing flab, it was almost certain that the scenes of sleaze would be worked out by the Censor's scissor. But not a single scene of erotical finesse were cut.

"What! We are obliged to play a responsible role," explained Leela Samson, chairman of the board, "as we cater to the special clause according to which any content in the form of song, scene, dialogue or visual, if it is reprehensible to the audience and incites their psyche or inspire them to indulge in acts of vandalism or violence, loss to cinema's property or other losses, are to be trimmed and the movie in such case, is toned down as a precaution."

The steam scenes has become a fad and they have proven to not affect the psyche of the masses in any adverse way. But at the same time, the acting abilities of Tusshar Kapoor has been an alarming note for the issue of law and order. There have been antecedents of damage to theater property, first-degree abusive use of language, 'mother-sister' brought into the issue of dissent without any particular reason and other acts of trauma of the young populace who are newly exposed to the cinema and have to bear Tusshar's bolts of bad acting, odd facet and anger-inducing voice.

While the director didn't seem to be perturbed by such a move from Censor Board, the producer Ekta Kapoor, being a sister to Tusshar, expressed his resentment with the decision. Dabbing at her wet eyes, Ekta explained "I love Tushi. Only a fortnight ago I had been cajoling him that he would always find a place in my movies even if all the directors develop diarrhea at the mention of T Kapoor in their movies. Tell me what should I tell my little brother? Who would care for his psyche...ehh?"
