The child’s right body has also taken note of a complaint by Twitter handle @GemsOfBollywood, which reported that the series shows minors indulging in drug abuse. Sharing screenshots from show, the complainant wrote, “From normalisation of minors indulging in casual sex we now have web series showing minors having cocaine. Screengrab from BombayBegums where a 13yr old is snorting coke as the party she goes to is all about alcohol, drugs (sic).”

I stopped watching this web series after 2 episodes only. It’s a shit. I never saw any school going girl think like the character as shows in this web series. How comes parents of that girl actress allowed to play such role.

Yes #BombayBegums shows a 13 yr old Hindu girl snorting cocaine. But she does it under the influence of alcohol which she has had because a Muslim boy refuses to sleep with her, so you can’t really blame the director for it.

Since when did the size of a girl’s breasts become an important part of school life that a girl needs to take a selfie and share it to prove that she is cool and attractive. #BombayBegums #Bollywood always trash values.

You CAN NOT do business in USA without following US laws.

Netflix, Twitter, Amazon, FB, Insta MUST follow Indian laws. It’s a question of India’s sovereignty and hard fought freedom.#censorNetflix #BombayBegums

Very direct hinduphobic hatred against Bhagawad Gita, which every Hindu in the world holds so sacred, is being pushed by HINOs like @alankrita601….#BombayBegums https://t.co/jWj9hGTA3p

Going by web series created by feminist directors, most of their female protagonists are loud, cutthroat, immoral, adulterous, sex obsessed, smokers, drinkers & ones who can compromise ALL for SUCCESS.

If this is Reality, why diss such MEN & call them Trash? #BombayBegums
