Smita Vats Sharma replaces Ravinder Bhakar

In a surprising turn of events, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) underwent a significant shake-up with the removal of CEO Ravinder Bhakar from his position. Ravinder Bhakar's tenure, which began in 2021, had been marked by controversy from the start. Initially, he faced criticism when his charge of the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) was unexpectedly taken away. Just a few months ago, corruption charges were leveled against the CBFC under Bhakar's leadership.
