Watch: Pahlaj Nihalani evades question on 'Lipstick Under My Burkha' certificate row

Evading the question surrounding the certification of award-winning film 'Lipstick Under My Burkha', Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chairman Pahlaj Nihalani on Friday refused to comment on the row, saying he will not talk about it in his personal office. The Central Board of Film Certification has refused to certify the film stating that the story is "lady oriented" and "their fantasy above life". Several B-Town celebrities, including filmmaker Shyam Benegal, Ashoke Pandit and actor Farhan Akhtar condemned the CBFC decision of refusing to clear the award-winning film. 'Lipstick Under My Burkha', which speaks about the aspirations of women, is directed by Alankrita Shrivastava and produced by director Prakash Jha. The film has won several awards in the film festival circuit, among them the Spirit of Asia Prize at the Tokyo International Film Festival.
