Following India’s Got Latent controversy, another newly launched reality show, Arrest House, hosted by Ajaz Khan, is facing anger from netizens after an obscene clip from one of its episodes went viral. The reality series which streams on the OTT platform Ullu and YouTube, sparked demands for a ban on the show due to its explicit content.
On May 1, a controversial clip went viral on X showing Ajaz Khan asking contestants to demonstrate various inappropriate positions.
In the now-viral video, Ajaz is seen encouraging a contestant to display her knowledge of sex positions. When she admits her lack of familiarity, he questions her, saying, "Tumne experiment nahi kiya kabhi? (Haven't you ever experimented?)".
The situation intensified when Ajaz asked another contestant, Gehna Vasishth, to guide two in the public display of the positions.
The obscene clip has sparked swift backlash, with critics accusing the show of undermining societal values and promoting vulgarity. Many argue that shows like Arrest House blur the line between entertainment and decency, calling for stricter regulations on OTT platforms to curb the spread of explicit content.
On X (formerly Twitter), a user voiced their anger by reporting the OTT platform and YouTube, stating, "Dear @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji @MIB_India, this is what Indian OTT platforms are showing these days. Name of Show: Arrest House, OTT: Ullu and YouTube. Can you imagine the damage it is doing to our society and culture? I request strong censorship for OTTs and TV channels."
Another user tagged Mumbai Police's official X account, saying, "Not only should this be banned, but legal action must also be taken against such programmes."
A separate comment read, "This is pathetic. What happened to the families of these girls? It’s high time the government intervenes. The National Commission for Women should take action too."
"These shows must be banned. Who is granting permission? Where is the Censor Board? This is ruining the generation. It must stop immediately," commented another outraged user.
Ajaz Khan known for his bold and controversial remarks, has not yet addressed the backlash. House Arrest premiered on April 11, 2025, on Ullu.
