Dangal TV's Rimjhim- Choti Umar Bada Safar has sparked controversy with its most recent episode. The serial has its separate fanbase; however, most recently, the serial has grabbed attention for the wrong reasons. A recent episode showed an intimate scene between the co-stars Yashika Sharma and Himanshu Awasthy, which raised questions about ethical responsibility, child protection and stricter broadcast for minor actors. Viewers now feel that the show has presented an unsuitable relationship between an adult and a minor. So, what's happened? Let's find out.
In a recent episode of Dangal TV's Rimjhim- Choti Umar Bada Safar, Yashika Sharma was seen in an intimate scene with Himanshu Awasthy, who is 24-years old. In the short scene, Yashika and Himanshu were seen sharing a romantic sequence where 'Sameer' (Himanshu) takes off his shirt and puts it on 'Rimjhim' (Yashika), as he noticed that her blouse was undone.
The scene ended with a warm embrace between the two. Earlier, the duo shared screen, acting in a bed sequence. Well, the clip has been shared all over social media platforms with several questions about minor actors doing such a scene with an adult co-star, thereby raising questions about ethical responsibility and child protection.
On Reddit, the clip has been shared, and netizens have been expressing their disappointment over minor actresses doing romantic scenes as leads in serials. A few questioned whether age-appropriate actresses were not there to be hired, while some remained disgusted with the same, claiming that such shows should be banned for once and all. One user commented, "Don't these people get age-appropriate actresses anymore? There arent any LEGAL females in the country who can act in thee serials? Why are they getting minor girls for these romantic lead roles, it's bloody EWWWW man wtf! Also, since when do 15-year-olds look 25??" Another user penned, "She’s 15??!!!! WHAT THE F**K, where are her parents?? How the f**k is this allowed?"
Yashika Sharma is 16 years old, and she has been grabbing the attention with her role in the series Rimjhim- Choti Umar Bada Safar. She has been playing the role of 'Rimjhim' in the series, and be it with her elegance or acting skills, she has carved a place for herself in the hearts of her fans. She currently has lakhs of followers on her social media handle, who can't get over her adorable charm.
Well, currently, she has been attracting backlash for her intimate scenes with her co-star, which, to viewers, seemed out of the ethics, given the actress's minor age. On the other hand, some supporters also came forward to reply that storytelling requires portrayals often, and thus it was justified. Yashika or Himanshu hasn't made any comments about the same yet.
