New Delhi: Stand up comedian Tanmay Bhat, got on the wrong side of many when he mocked two legends of the nation - Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar. He made a face swap snapchat video titled ‘Civil War’ and unleashed hell upon himself. After much havoc surrounding the entire thing, now singer Lata Mangeshkar herself has spoken on it.
A leading entertainment website Spotboye.com got in touch with the celebrated singer to know her comments on it and her reply was full of grace. She said,
“I have not seen the video, neither do I have any inclination to do so. I will not comment about it.”
In the video, Tanmay went to an extent where he said that Lataji should die, just like Jon Snow did in HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’. Many Bollywood celebs slammed Bhat for his insensitive video saying that there is a line between comedy and insult.
Things have got so worse that political party MNS has filed an FIR against Tanmay and the Mumbai police has written to Google and YouTube to remove the video. The comedian on the other hand tweeted that this new episode reminded him of the ‘roast days’, a show hosted by the AIB team which garnered a lot of flak.
With almost the entire Internet talking about Tanmay, Lataji said she doesn’t even know him.
“By the way, I don’t know who is Tanmay Bhat,” she told Spotboye.
