From suggestions to ban such TV shows completely to wondering how much of adult content can be curbed, television and film celebrities say ultimately the decision whether to watch reality shows like 'Bigg Boss' and 'Rakhi Ka Insaaf', which the government wants shifted to the late night slot, should lie with the people.Amit Khanna, veteran Media Expert & Chairman Reliance Entertainment: About three years ago the government had set up a committee to examine the question of censorship on television. No solutions were found. Because there are no readymade solutions to the question of regulating a moral code for the home medium. With internet making every possible channel accessible to everyone how can we stop any section of people from watching what they want to? This is where the question of self-censorship comes in. Every channel has an ombudsman who decides what should or should not go.
