Comedian Tanmay Bhat’s Snapchat story on Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar has invited controversies from all across. He made a face swap snapchat video titled ‘Sachin vs Lata Civil War’ and unleashed hell upon himself.
While some say humour should be treated as humour and is not supposed to be taken seriously, there are people who are severely offended with the content of the video and are even planning to take legal actions against the comedian. Meanwhile, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar herself opened up about the issue.
A leading entertainment website Spotboye.com got in touch with the celebrated singer to know her comments on it and her reply was full of grace. She said,
“I have not seen the video, neither do I have any inclination to do so. I will not comment about it.”
With almost the entire Internet talking about Tanmay, Lata Mageshkar also said she doesn’t even know him.
“By the way, I don’t know who is Tanmay Bhat”.
LOL..That’s pretty much a burn for the well-known stand-up artist!
Political parties and the entertainment industry has created a furore as they denounced the video and demanded the arrest of the comedian. The censor board Chief Pahlaj Nihalani went on to say that banning Tanmay from performing in Mumbai won’t suffice and he should be arrested.
Based on complaints from various political parties, the Mumbai police has said that they are consulting legal experts and would contact Google, YouTube and Facebook to take down the video.
