Vir Das is known for his quirk, and with his hilarious style, the actor often takes digs at various issues. Today, Vir Das has put out another post, leaving his followers in splits. While not naming any award shows, Vir talked about how major entertainment awards (probably Oscars) have stand-up comedians heading the event and why this doesn’t happen in India. While discussing this, he also took a subtle dig at the India’s Got Talent controversy.
While taking to his Instagram, Vir Das wrote, "While watching a major entertainment awards show, I`m pretty sure a few fellow Indian comedians play a game in our heads. We wonder why Indian award shows don`t use modern stand-up comedians at major awards. Then... we think of some of the jokes we would do, the utter shitstorm that would follow, then we think it`s probably for the best."
