The actor had said he does not like web content although he agrees that it is a good space. Pointing out that films gets censored and are given 'A' certificate for their content, he said the web space shows "anything and everything." “There is no censorship. There should be an appointed body that takes that call. My problem is that young kids are also watching it because everyone has access to a phone. So, that’s not cool with me," he had told Hindustan Times in an interview.
However, Bajpayee is opposed to such a view. The actor said directors should be given he right and freedom to censor the content they offer. He added that the directors need to be trusted upon to do this.
