Ullu app show House Arrest has become the centre of a massive controversy after its recent episode had many viewers take to social media in anger, accusing the show of showing vulgar content and promoting obscenity. Since the controversy has erupted just days after Centre taking note of 'obscenity' on streaming shows, there has been a marked political reaction as well.

The controversial segments on House Arrest

House Arrest is a captivity-based show that streams on Ullu and is hosted by Ajaz Khan. In one of the most recent episodes that streamed this week, one of the segments had the host quizzing a contestant on sexual experiments. As he asks her about sex positions, she hesitates and expresses her lack of knowledge. After this, Ajaz asks two other contestants to enact a few sex positions to make the first contestant understand. The entire sequence is filled with suggestive overtones and lines.

In another clip from the episode that has gone viral on Twitter (now X), a few female contestants were given a challenge to take off their undergarments from below their clothes while on camera.

Another compared the controversy to the India's Got Latent row and wrote, "Whatever happened on Samay Raina's show wasn’t as ugly as what’s openly showing Ajaz Khan. This video is just 1 example, Where should FIRs actually be filed and where should they not? You decide! @MIB_India they are corrupting our young minds so please ban this vulgar show."

Neither the show nor the host Ajaz Khan has commented on the controversy so far.
