What were Eros Now’s memes about?

Many social media users expressed outrage over numerous such memes that Eros Now had shared during the festival of Navratri, calling them “hinduphobic” and “vulgar”.

Actress Kangana Ranaut too criticised the memes, calling all streaming platforms “nothing but a porn hub”.

Further writing on the nature of content catered on streaming platforms, Ranaut wrote in her Twitter thread, “Even on international streaming platforms the nature of the content is sensational we need to manufacture overtly sexual, deeply gruesome brutal, violent content, essentially to arouse the viewer’s sexual appetite, very difficult to get any other content cleared by their teams.”
