India, Nov. 15 -- Actor Pankaj Tripathi, who was recently appointed to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), believes the film certification body is often misunderstood. Having joined the newly constituted 18-member board in September, he says its intention is to make the process easier for filmmakers, not create hurdles. "Censor Board try yeh hi karti hai ki filmmakers ke liye sahuliyat ho... Hum teen din mein kaise certification karein. Ya toh aap thode time leke audio-visual lock karke aayein... Film ko banane mein 6 mahine lagte hai, toh Censor process aap kyu chahte hai ki 6 din mein ho jaaye? Censor Board bhi yahin chahta hai ki filmmaker ko voh asuvidha naa ho," says the actor, who stars alongside Aditi Rao Hydari in the recent OTT release Parivarik ManuRanjan. Tripathi adds that board members must follow prescribed guidelines while considering differing opinions. "Jo zimmedaari ki padh pe baithe hai, unko certification ke saath bohot saare guidelines follow karne hote hai. Usme alag alag members hai... Agar ek member bolta hai ki mujhe isse aapatti hai, toh uska concern ko consider karna hoga na?" Asked whether the CBFC has become a soft target, he says, "In the digital world, everyone is a soft target. Logon ko lagta kya hai ek tweet kar dene mein ya fir ek kuch likhke daal diya social media pe... There's too much chaos in the digital world; the real world is much more peaceful. I usually stay logged out of social media for weeks. It's been months since I logged out of X. Naa mujhe appreciation dekhna hai, naa mujhe humiliation dekhna hai."...
