In a move that was welcomed by many, the former CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani was sacked and replaced by Prasoon Joshi. While it was Smriti Irani who brought about the leadership change, rumours were rife that it was Ekta Kapoor, Smriti’s good friend who asked her to remove Pahlaj. At a recent press conference, Ekta Kapoor denied these rumours. She said that even though she would like to take credit, she had no say in the sacking of Pahlaj Nihalani and that was completely Smriti’s call.
