Cracking Joke At Will Smith's India Visit, Vir Das Says He Can Learn To Slap Cases On Comedians
Remember Munawar Faruqui spent over a month in jail for a joke he didn't even crack? Or that a BJP leader had registered a case again Vir Das after he posted a video 'I Come From 2 Indias' from his show at Washington's Kennedy Centre??
There have been many instances when comedians have faced ire for a joke they told. Chris Rock got slapped by Will Smith at the Oscars recently.?
Now that Will Smith is in India, Vir Das said that he can learn to not slap with hands and slap legal cases on comedians instead.?
"Welcome welcome," he wrote on a post that read, "Will Smith is in India? Good. He can learn to stop slapping comedians with his hands and start slapping them with legal cases."
How did fans react? They also put their sense of humour on display. Here are some of the comments.
"Common Vir, let's not assume. Maybe he wants to star in Student of the year 3 ( after making a guest appearance in SOTY 2 ?) lol".
"Maybe he's in India to give training to people on how to deal with comedians who make inappropriate jokes".
"I guess he should continue the same in India as well for the people who target one community and doesn't have any guts to speak about other".
"Funny you say thatĄ. ArenĄ¯t we big on slapping with hands in India?"
"He might end up spiritual or an upgraded goon Willi bhai. Lol"
"What do you think which India he will like more? #Icomefrom2Indias."
After the uproar that Vir Das' I Come From Two Indias video had caused, he was not allowed to perform in Madhya Pradesh.?
"We wonĄ¯t allow such jesters to perform. If he tenders an apology, we are going to think over it," Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra told PTI.Mishra also criticised those supporting him and said, "Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also defames India on foreign land.?
MP Congress chief Kamal Nath also does it. Such type of people like him, I call them ĄŽvidushakĄ¯ (jester) would not be allowed to perform in the state. If he (Das) apologises, we are going to think over it"
Meanwhile, several celebrities including?Richa Chadha and Hansal Mehta among others have come out in support of Vir Das.??
