Interestingly, actors Karanvir Bohra and Teejay Sidhu, also recently hosted a Squid fishing game– themed birthday party for their twin daughters, and as expected, was closed because of it. While posting short snippets of the day with Instagram followers, they were reminded that the show was violent in nature and not something kids wanted to be associated with or even enjoy.
“Even though this show is popular all over the world, our kids still haven’t seen it, nor do they know what it’s about. We showed them the outfits online and they listened to the song too. We explained that we are guards because we protect the ‘good people’,” they wrote in the caption.
“Please note that you are not giving any indication that your child has knowledge of the actual series because it is so serious and horrible. You guys really have a moral obligation as public figures to make sure other kids don’t see or understand this series. Maybe I should add a disclaimer,” someone commented.
Another pointed out that this is not “the correct theme for a children’s birthday party”.
