"I'm delighted I've been chosen as one of the members. It's a post that comes with great responsibility. I don't want to comment on the ongoing controversies, but I'm sure the new board members won't disappoint," said Jeevitha.
Besides Jeevitha, Tamil actor and former AIDMK legislator S Ve Shekher has also been chosen from the south for the Censor Board, the new chairperson for which is filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani.
"It's good to have someone from the south in the board. I'm happy that we've not been ignored," Jeevitha said.

Asked about the clearance of controversial film MSG - Messenger of God, she said: "I haven't watched the film yet. It would be unfair on my part to comment now."
