So I was watching s13 e83, and this is the episode of this infamous fight between Rashmi and Siddharth.

**And the crazy part is they have edited out this whole sequence**

That made me realize why most of the previous seasons have been removed. Cause OTT platforms have certain guidelines against perceived violence and aggression, as its probably a UA rating.

And this episode was very extreme where they both threw tea at each other and sidharth grabbed several people. It could be seen as promoting violence. That is why bigg boss original timing was moved from 9pm to 10:30 pm on television, cause after 10 you can take things into a bit of adult section.

And i guess they may be editing out all the seasons, especially part like when swami om threw urine and stuff.

I haven't watched all episodes of s13 but they have cut some more stuff out.

**And that is I think one problem, the other problem which is a major one is Music Rights.**

 It also became clear in this episode cause it was a weekend episode and Malika Sherawat came as a guest, and she was giving tasks and in between sid and Asim and all were arguing, but they were playing music over it and we couldnt hear the banter.

So clearly, they were playing some other music back then, but since they dont have rights so they have to go back and edit songs they have rights to on top of it.

Frankly, it is pretty bad and ruins the experince, the music one is ok, you dont lose any major banter but cutting out footage will ruin experience severely for someone who wants to revisit, cause this fight was a culmination of fight that started over 2-3 episodes. And i mean legally you cant watch this stuff anymore I guess, but it is what it is! What do y'all think?

The real reason why previous seasons have been removed from Jio Hotstar
