    Twitterati Demands Boycott On KBC 11 After Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Is Referred To As Just Shivaji, Sony Apologises!

    Most times, we are careful of what we are saying and would try our best to not hurt anyone with our words or actions. Yet, there are slips and mistakes that probably all of us make, but when it is done on a mass level, it becomes problematic. Sony TV is the example.

    On last night’s episode of KBC 11, a question was asked about which ruler was a contemporary to Mughal Emperor Aunragzeb. The fourth option provided mentioned just ‘Shivaji’. This irked Twitter users and they demanded a ban saying Sony should have been more careful and should have used his name with titles- Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

    Here is what some Twitter users wrote:

    Sony issued an apology as this gathered momentum. Tweeting with a video, they wrote, “There was an inaccurate reference to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj during Wednesday’s KBC episode, due to inadvertence. We deeply regret the same and being mindful of the sentiments of our viewers have carried a scroll expressing regret during our episode yesterday. #KBC11”

    Here is what they posted:

    Some people still had problems despite Sony’s apology and they too expressed their disgruntle on Twitter:
