Impact

In September 2019, there was a complaint against the content of ''Kalyana Veedu'' following which the telecaster Sun TV was fined Rs 250,000 by the Broadcast Content Complaints Council. This was in reference to one of the episodes aired in May where one of the female characters named Roja hires a criminal gang to sexually assault her own sister. She ordered the men to show no mercy on her during this preplanned assault. The gang instead of following through the plan, enact the same plan on Roja. The controversial episodes were telecast on May 14, 15 and June 28, 2019.

The council, on examining the video clips based on the complaints, said in their order that the content violated the Indian Broadcasting Foundation (IBF) guidelines which bars content that glorifies violence, as well as incite or encourage viewers to obscene or indecent behaviour. A notice was issued to the channel and in their reply to the council, Sun TV and Thiru Pictures clarified and apologised to the council. The order stated that they consented to agree with their decision as well.
