The ban on porn in India has sparked a debate across the nation with some supporting the government for the decision, while others criticising the BJP-led administration for the same.

The government of India has imposed a ban on as many as 857 websites, asserting that these have a bad influence on the society. The decision was taken after lawyer Kamlesh Vaswani filed a PIL at the Supreme Court in 2013, demanding complete ban on websites featuring pornographic content.

Positive as well as negative reactions poured in from all corners of the country and several Bollywood stars also expressed their views with regard to the ban.

Bollywood celebs like Sonam Kapoor, Ram Gopal Varma, Vishal Dadlani, Uday Chopra and some others strongly opposed the ban on Twitter. Actress Sonam Kapoor even went on to call the pro-ban advocates as "idiots" for the decision and Ram Gopal Varma also posted a series of tweets slamming the ban.
