Aamir
Khan, yet again stood out from the Bollywood league who rhetorically
supported AIB Roast, and condemned the show stating that it was 'too
violent' and he was 'disappointed' with it.
Though
Aamir's response might earn a certain 'take a bow' moment, but a
broad overview of his justification in condemning the show might say
completely different story.
Aamir
Khan said that he hasn't watched the show yet; he's just seen a
couple of clips and heard the dialogues from his friends Karan Johar
and Arjun Kapoor, which deeply affected him and was disappointed.
In
that context, Aamir must've also supported the protest against his
movie PK, when Hindu extremists burnt the posters, and pelted stones
at theaters screening the movie because they were offended the way
Hindu Gods were portrayed. Does he justify that, as well?
Ans
then sir, what exactly was the concept behind making the movie,
'Delhi Belly', described as a black comedy? Yes, he said that they
applied for an 'A' certificate for the movie because it contained
loads of sexual content and cuss words. But on the same lines, AIB
had also announced at the beginning of the video, that the content is
'filthy'. Yet people went on to watch it.
Aamir
said, 'If you want to make me laugh, you will have to make humor
without hurting anyone.'
The
whole idea of roast is 'insult comedy', which I believe is offensive
beyond the spirits of the people involved in the roast. Whatever
jokes were cracked that day were on the people who attended and were
fervently told that the show will go on to become the most filthy and
many offensive things will be said. No generic community was
insulted, no religion was shown in poor light, no jokes were made on
sexism.
When
people who were made fun of including Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh,
Arjun Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Sonakshi Sinha, Alia Bhatt, the
Kapoor family, were offended, why are viewers' feeling hurt?
Aamir
sir, if you putting your hand up the ass of someone in a movie to
create humor is not wrong, why AIB is?
As
said by Karan Johar, 'If it's not your cup of tea...don't drink it.'
