Tanmay Bhat gets Roasted after he Roasts Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar, video faces BAN

-

Sometimes, the comedians go too far to create humor. This time, AIB’s Tanmay Bhat is under the scanner for making fun of two Indian legends, Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar. In his video titled Sachin v/s Lata Civil War, he faceswapped the two celebrities and enacted an argument of insults. The cricket marvel and the singing legend have been out of any kind of ill publicity throughout their career. And it is beyond the imagination of Indians to hear their voices in such an awfully created snapchat video.
Some of the punchlines used  against Lata Mangeshkar are- “Your face looks like someone has kept you in water for eight days” and “Snow also died, so should you”. This is too much derogatory even for a layman, forget such marvels of the country.
Tanmay has received severe criticism for his act from bollywood denizens like Riteish Deshmukh,  Anupam Kher, Celina Jaitly, etc. but he must have been enjoying the attention he has got from all sects of Indian intelligentsia as well as common people. He has been successful in grabbing the attention he wanted. Tanmay Bhat’s own Tweet validates this fact. After he posted the video, he tweeted that when people write about him the following day, they can use his Snapchat ID- thetanmay.
The statement proves that he just wanted to create a controversy to stay in headlines. However, unlike past, the AIB member took the not-so-humorous path to come back to lime light. He knew it from the very beginning that he will receive negative comments for his video. Perhaps, he wanted to popularize his Snapchat ID and have maximum views for his video.
On the other hand, he has supporters from the country as well. People like Chetan Bhagat have come to support him and got roasted back!. He tweeted that the comedians must not be arrested for cracking jokes, even if the jokes are too bad.
Despite being an AIB fan, I do not support the work of Tanmay this time. However, I do not support the FIR and arrest as well. This is way too much of a reaction in a tolerant country like India. Tanmay has got enough rejection from his fans as well as non-fans.
AIB gave out a statement afterwards saying that the group believed in “absolute freedom of expression”. They “wanted to push the envelope of comedy in this country". They said that they did not want to hurt the sentiments of people. The statement also said that they “hope to be a part of an environment that supports... (absolute freedom of expression)...without fear of persecution, intimidation and most importantly, annoyance. As always, in our own AIB way we'll continue to strive towards creating that very environment"
The statement reveals clearly that the group and Tanmay Bhat have got the lesson.

How The Second Wave Of Covid-19 Impacted Us

  When the lockdown and isolation spree began last year in 2020 in India, we were also brainwashed by the Modi government to isolate ourselves. Almost every Indian treated Modi’s word as the words set in stone.   However, as the time elapsed and we stepped into 2021, we all realized that he is a leader capable of nothing but lip service.   He made the economy collapse right in front of his eyes and didn’t do anything about it. Nonetheless, I also saw that corona was not something to be highly scared of for the young individuals, but the elderly needed to be much more careful than us. It is indeed a pandemic the way it spreads widely, but I also thought that it is recoverable. As a healthy person, I did not want to wear a mask because I wanted to breathe freely. I have seen it in the last few months that the national leaders do not wear a mask or practice social distancing, but they ask us to do so. They do nothing that they preach. They impose fine on us for not fol...

‘My choice’- The documentary on women empowerment by Deepika Padukone

A few months ago, Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone was featured in a video called ‘My Choice’. It seemed to be made for the empowerment of women but it went much deeper. The dialogues that were delivered by Deepika were supported by the acts of the other ninety-nine women featured in it. These were the ordinary women, some middle class and some upper middle class like any of us. However, I personally do not agree with the entire video. Because eventually, Homi Adjania, the director forgot that when we talk about the empowerment of women, it is not only about the women in urban places, but also the poor women of rural India. I disagree with the documentary on two platforms: factual and emotional. From the factual point of view, there was some serious misunderstanding about the topic itself. Deepika said that it was her choice to have sex before marriage, after marriage or not to have sex at all. This is entirely a woman’s choice about her decision on this issue but the idea de...

It's time to realize your dreams

Why?  Why now?  Your dreams are different than mine. So how is it time to realize the dreams for everyone?  Yes, I said that because there is something in everyone's mind that they categorize as their dream and they want to fulfil it, sometime in future.  You may not put in all your time and capital in it right now, but you can surely start thinking about executing your plans.  You may start thinking about the money you need, the unique ideas you would implement, and the USP of your product or company even if many other similar entities exist in the market.  When you keep thinking about your dreams, your thoughts become plans, and your plans become actions.  That someday becomes this day, today!!  Even if it takes you a few years contemplating about the pros and cons, the do's and don't, yóu still come a long way when you actually begin.  That's what I said, the time is now!!
