Jokes On Colour, Body Shaming Should Not Be Encouraged, Says Radhika Apte
Talking to PTI, Radhika Apte said, ¡°I think jokes on colour or body shaming shouldn¡¯t be made. It¡¯s not funny to crack such jokes. Do you crack a joke on fair skin (people)? No right ? So don¡¯t do it (joke on dark skin people). There has to be a limit,¡±
Tannishtha Chatterjee's legit rant against racism on a comedy show had gone crazy viral and since then, many have spoken about the same. Radhika Apte is the latest one to support her Parched co-star. According to Radhika, cracking jokes on someone¡¯s colour and body structure is not the right thing to do. Talking to PTI, Radhika said,
¡°I think jokes on colour or body shaming shouldn¡¯t be made. It¡¯s not funny to crack such jokes. Do you crack a joke on fair skin (people)? No right ? So don¡¯t do it (joke on dark skin people). There has to be a limit."
Radhika was further asked to comment on the ban of Pakistani artists in India, to which, she said talent across the border should be encouraged.
¡°What has happened in Kashmir is terrible. But it shouldn¡¯t determine other things (working of artistes in India) as its a political debate. I feel art has the power to bind us. We should encourage talent.¡±
