All India Bakchod has gone more viral than ever. All thanks
to their Roast show that recently got aired on Youtube. It had garnered over a
million eyeballs and triggered so much drama post release. Several questions
were raised, people took offence, banned the video, the team was asked to
remove the video from Youtube, an FIR was filed against the actors who
participated, phew! A bunch of people including influential personalities
thought that the show was highly offensive for it had jokes that were highly
racist, vulgar and crass.
Everyone has the freedom to speech and expression. As long
as the other person whom you are actually casting a joke on doesn’t feel affronted.
I and my friends keep picking on each other; in fact don’t we all do the same
with people whom we are comfortable with? They did the exact same. They joked
about people, about their own set of friends, people from their industry who
took the joke very sportingly. Have an opinion, it’s perfectly fine, but don’t waste
time filing a complaint or feeling pointlessly upset for it wasn’t even on you.
After the outrageous responses from aam aadmi, Aamir Khan
posted his opinion on how he disliked the show as he found it NOT offensive but
violent. He very subtly without too much hue and chaos expressed his take on
the show, and the moment this came on the internet, hypocrisy took a toll on us
yet again. It was shocking to see people who actually were on AIB’s side,
became anti Roast suddenly. Why, why can’t we stand by our views ever? Get
influenced, but don’t start following someone blindfolded. It’s a very sad
state when I see young minds getting influenced in such a way, for we are
supposed to be the bright future of the nation. The day we get over our
pretence, change would start happening on its own.
