Dear Zindagi Gets All Clear No Cuts, Censor Board Commends Shah Rukh’s Wholesome Cinema

Commending Shah Rukh Khan for his wholesome family-oriented cinema, the Censor Board Of Film Certification(CBFC) granted Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi an all-clear ‘UA’ certificate.

“There is not a single cut, verbal or visual. The censor board actually said it would be a crime to cut even one shot from the film.They also singled  out Shah Rukh Khan as the A-list actor with the least censorial intervention required in his films,” says a  source close to the film.

R Balki who is the co-producer on  Dear Zindagi has never had a problem with the censor board.

When he made Cheeni Kum he was told the unconventional love affair between a 60-year old man and a 30-year old woman would raise eyebrows. But the film sailed through. In Ki & Ka he was warned about the kisses between Kareena Kapoor and ArjunKapoor. The censor board didn’t touch a single kiss, arguing that intimacy between husband and wife was normal. In Paa Balki was allowed the word ‘bastard’ as it was seen to be  used in  a context.
