The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) blocked 25 OTT platforms and associated mobile applications for allegedly streaming obscene content in violation of Indian laws on Friday.

The action was taken following growing public concern and institutional feedback over the increasing availability of such content on streaming platforms.

Ekta Kapoor, joint Managing Director of Balaji Telefilms Limited, has now clarified that the platform is not associated in any capacity whatsoever with ALTT, one of the banned platforms.

She took to social media to disassociate herself with the content or the administration of ALTT.

Following is the post:

Balaji Telefilms Limited, listed on the BSE and NSE, is a professionally run media organization and following the recent amalgamation of ALT Digital Media Entertainment Ltd. (previously its wholly owned subsidiary) duly approved by the Hon’ble NCLT, it operates ALTT wef June 20, 2025.

Media reports have been in circulation about ALTT being disabled by the authorities, however, contrary to such reports, Ms. Ekta Kapoor and Mrs. Shobha Kapoor are not associated in any capacity whatsoever with ALTT and they had stepped down from their association with ALTT way back in June 2021. Any insinuation contrary to the above facts is strongly denied and media is requested to report the accurate facts.

Balaji Telefilms Limited is fully compliant of all applicable laws and continues to operate its business with the highest standards of corporate governance.
