It`s quite a bad time for stand-up comedians. First, Samay Raina, and then Kunal Kamra have become the center of controversy for their jokes. Now, with Kamra facing trouble and threats from Shiv Sena workers for his alleged comments against the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, Tanmay Bhatt has reacted to the recent controversy.
Recently, Tanmay shared a video on his YouTube channel where he sat down for a conversation with comedians Rohan Joshi, Aditya Kulshresth, and Kaustubh Agarwal. In the video, Tanmay, while taking an indirect dig at what is happening in the country, said it was an “interesting week for comedy." Further, while talking about how people message and call him if any comedian gets into trouble, Tanmay said, "Any comedian gets into trouble, I get a message, ‘Tanmay, are you okay’?"
