Abusive language, double-meaning dialogues, cuss words and even naughty punning remain strictly prohibited areas of activity as far as the censor board is concerned.
The latest to feel the brunt of the censorial scissors is Ranbir Kapoor. Some of his tongue-in-cheek dialogues in Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha have been snipped out.

Says a source, "They were fun lines, the way young people speak in a team. At one point a character makes a veiled reference to masturbation which the censor board did not want. There was another naughty reference to men and women who hide their relationship. 'Din mein sister raat mein bistar' (sister during the day, to bed at night)."
At one point Ranbir refers to Deepika as 'Saali'. That too has gone.

Saira just decided to drop home to wish me.And we sat and chatted for quite a while." Interestingly, Saira is not known to socialize these days, choosing instead to stay home to look after her husband the legendary Dilip Kumar. Says Asha, "It was a very pleasant surprise considering Saira hardly ever leaves Yusuf Saab alone. We are contemporaries. But we were never rivals. We meet very warmly even today. The roles that Saira did went to her and the roles that I did were meant for me.Producers never went to either of us for roles that were meant for others." Asked...
