Pankaj Tripathi feels not everything can be defended in the name of creative freedom and dialogue on censorship in digital space is important.

Mumbai: Actor Pankaj Tripathi, who has tasted success on the big screen as well as the digital space, says that when it comes to the debate on web censorship, a dialogue is very important.

However, not everything can be defended in the name of creative freedom, he feels.

"There are some people who just want to spread 'sansani' (sensationalism). They too have some freedom because there are no censors. So, there are pros and cons of having censorship, and if there is a debate only then will people arrive at some conclusion," the actor pointed out.

On the acting front, he will next be seen in Kabir Khan's 83.
