Eros Now, which is a digital OTT platform owned by Eros International Media Ltd, is being lambasted on social media for its highly offensive, denigratory and outrageous posts, particularly on Twitter. Since October 17, Navratri is being observed by millions of people in India, particularly Hindus, for whom, the nine days of spirituality hold deep significance. Notwithstanding such sentiments, Eros Now took to its Twitter handle to publish cheap posts, abound with sexual innuendo, while using references of Navratri and hashtags to the same effect as well. 
The said posts were deleted after heavy outrage directed against Eros Now for their specific targeting of a Hindu religious occasion, using the highly revered festival of Navratri as an opportunity to further their own luscious content, laced abundantly with sexual connotations. Subsequently, on Thursday morning, Eros Now came out with a statement and apologised for the recent posts which had rightfully outraged many on social media. “We at Eros love and respect our cultures equally. It is not, and it has never been, our intention to hurt anyone’s emotions. We have deleted the concerned posts and we apologise for having offended anybody’s sentiments,” the statement read.

This did not stop social media users from making #BoycottErosNow the top trend. While the specific targeting of Hindu festivals for moral grandstanding, virtue signalling and environmental activism has been observed and even tolerated to an extent in the past, such disgusting usage of a Hindu spiritual occasion has perhaps never been seen before. While users announced a boycott of Eros Now, activist Ramesh Solanki even took to declaring that he will soon be initiating legal action against the OTT platform.

We must preserve cinema as a community viewing theatre experience,its more difficult to enthrall large section of audience than sexualise content for personal viewing, digitisation of art faces this major crisis, all streaming platforms are nothing but a porn hub.

Only recently, Tanishq Jewels was in the centre of a massive social media storm owing to their abject wishful and fictitious thinking of certain families being absolutely accommodating and tolerant towards Hindu women who get married outside their faith. The advertisement was slammed mainly for its blatant ignorance of facts on the ground, where Hindu women are made victims of love jihad and are forcefully converted into Islam by the groom and/or by his family.
Having learnt no lessons from the recent fiasco, Eros Now has invited an even bigger hell on itself. Why would any enterprise publish outrageous and sexually laced posts during Navratri? What does Eros Now mean when a post by it reads “Do you want to put the ‘ratri’ in my Navratri?” Will the over-sexual employee of Eros be sacked for posting such offensive material on social media? In case Eros Now thinks that it can get away with a mere half-hearted apology, it is highly mistaken.
This is a marketing disaster for Eros, which will have far-reaching, long-term repercussions. It is also a lesson-in-point to all those who have been thinking about posting similar anti-Hindu and outrageous posts on social media, using references of Hindu festivals which are held sacred by crores. The actors who were made a part of such posts will be well-advised to speak out against Eros Now for attempting to make a sacred Hindu festival all about sex.
Educated Muslims are proving to be more dangerous for Hindus and hinduism , they are unfit to be friends . Every hindu must watch them and be ready for any fight
I do have a lot of Muslims as friends, but today don’t have any idea, whom to trust as this has become living without trust with them.. very sickening
This clearly shows how deep the hatred towards Hinduism in corporates (so called organized sector); they just pretend to be nice because they just need our money and nothing to do with our values. It is only happening when the non-cong or non-commie govt is in power, wonder how deep is the rabbit hole of this stupid nexus.
