Isn't Aamir Khan's response to AIB Roast hypocratic?

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.'
