It would actually be asking for too much if you were to expect anything less than below the belt jokes from the infamous All India Bakchod (AIB) and its members, especially Tanmay Bhat. After all, this is the same group that gained its popularity due to their notoriety on stage.
We sat back and enjoyed our favourite stars being ridiculed by this group, this is the ‘in’ thing. But when you take on the people who we revere and respect, things are going to get rough. Recently, Tanmay has been in the news owing to his disrespectful jibes at popular and cult Indian figures like Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar.
The comedian shot a Snapchat video recently where he created a virtual banter between the two with the help of the Face Swap tool. And the entire thing was nothing short of being offensive, disrespectful and uncalled-for to all the people he was referring to.
Neither were the jokes that were cracked funny, nor were his digs about Lata Mangeskar, who’s better known as the Nightingale of India , and Sachin Tendulkar, considered the God of Cricket by many, in any way pardonable. Just to come to think of it, there’s just about no one who can bear Lata Mangeshkar being compared with Melissandre and being asked to die. Or ‘Sachin’, a man who never lost his calm or for that matter swore on the ground even once, actually going around abusing Virat Kohli.
FIR to be filed against Bhat
According to recent reports, the Bollywood community has slammed the act as being highly ‘insensitive’ and now the MNS has decided to file an FIR against the comedian, demanding that the video be immediately removed.
MNS Chitrapat Sena’s president Ameya Khopkar on Sunday said, "Tomorrow morning, I am going to visit Shivaji Park police station and file FIR against Bhatt." Meanwhile, DCP (Operations) Sangramsingh Nishandar said, "No FIR has been registered in this issue as of yet".
In reply to the above-mentioned developments, Tanmay Bhat posted a series of tweets saying: “Roast waale din yaad aa gaye by God” and much more.
