Pahlaj Nihalani, chief of Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has objected to the word ‘Intercourse’ used in the upcoming film of Imtiaz Ali-directed Jab Harry Met Sejal. Nihalani is upset with the film’s trailer which shows Anushka's character talking about an indemnity bond and how there won't be any legal consequences if the couple has ‘intercourse’.

According to the CBFC chief, the only condition for granting a UA certificate is the deletion of dialogues about intercourse. Speaking about the uncut trailer being aired on news channels he said, “We cannot stop content on the internet. But we can and will stop the broadcast of the uncensored footage on television. The trailer has been picked up from the internet and is being aired on various news channels. This is completely against the law and we plan to take the strictest action against the channels which have aired the censored content from Imtiaz Ali’s film.”
