After receiving all sorts of negative comments from the people and the stars, Pahlaj Nihalani has finally given his reply. The Chief in an interview to a leading daily commented, “I am not answerable to the film industry. If the government asks me to step down, I’ll do so. I’ve been doing my job honestly and sincerely. No producer can claim his film was delayed because of the CBFC. There is zero corruption in the CBFC and we are working towards online certification. I am happy with my performance in the CBFC. For those who are unhappy with what I’ve done, I’ve no apology to offer. Don’t target me for doing my job.”
