Ever since the ban on these apps which also include ALTT, Ektaa Kapoor has been heavily scrutinised as people have associated her with these ALTT for a long time. However, Ektaa Kapoor has issued a clarification stating that she and her mother, Shobha Kapoor, have not been associated with ALTT in any capacity for a while now.

Any insinuation contrary to the above facts is strongly denied and the 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,” Ektaa concluded the statement.
