As per PTI reports, the petition has been filed by a local resident, Khush Khandelwal. A part of the petition reads, “The portrayal of Deol as a Hindu saint has hurt the religious sentiments of Hindus, who respect and worship saints. His portrayal as a rapist, corrupt and drug dealer has diminished the place saints hold for Hindus.”
Along with Bobby Deol, Aashram also stars Adhyayan Suman, Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tushar Pandey, Anupriya Goenka, Preeti Sood and others.
Talking about working in Aashram, Preeti Sood recently said that getting an offer to be a part of the web series by Prakash Jha, was a wow moment for her.
“Working in Aashram, was like a dream come true! I adore Bobby Deol sir on set and I had a huge fan girl moment. When I was offered the part, it was totally a wow moment for me. It was amazing and heartwarming to work with such a talented and hardworking star, but most of all, he was humble, down to earth and truly supportive. He even encouraged me, saying ‘You are a very fine artist and you are so expressive’. As an actress, these things motivated me a lot,” she said.
“The series was one of my most beautiful journeys. We were shooting in Ayodhya, which in itself was so serene and surreal, and personally I believe that the message of the series was so strong that being a part of it, was extremely fulfilling to me as an actor,” she added.
