Storey notes that 'The Broadcasting Control Board ruled that this episode had to be screened after 8:30 PM, due to the depiction of two brutal beatings, and the detailed showing of a prostitute's daily life. GTV-9 screened warnings before the episode informing parents that it was unsuitable for children.'
