Comedian Tanmay Bhat has apparently gone too far in his attempt to create humour, as his subject of comedy, this time, was two of the biggest legends of India Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar.
Tanmay Bhatt has been the popular face in the comedy genre since the infamous AIB Roast and has gained a huge fan following with his antics.
Tanmay has posted a video on social media where the legendary Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar get into a war of words over Virat Kohli.
Tanmay is seen simultaneously face-swapping with Sachin and Lata, and making fun of the cricketer’s batting and the singer’s looks. He showed them getting involved in a verbal argument over Virat Kohli in the video created on Sanpchat.
Tanmay started the video imitating Sachin and asking fans if they think Virat was a better batsman than him. Soon he started imitating Lata and said Virat was indeed a better batsman than Sachin. Then followed some punch lines apparently insulting the legendary singer.
Some of the punchlines are: “Lata tai you are 5,000 years old so stay the phuck out of this, [sic]”Your face looks like someone has kept you in water for eight days[sic]” and “Jon Snow died, so you should also die. [sic]” Tanmay posted the video with the caption: “Sachin vs Lata Civil War (I make such nonsense on my snap chat – follow me there – ID: Thetanmay)
The jokes on Sachin and Lata did not go down well with many of their fans. A number of Bollywood celebrities have also expressed displeasure at it. Most of the comments on the video were against such comedy and slammed Tanmay, asking the comedian to apologise to the legends for the act.
Several Bollywood celebrities took to Twitter and criticised Tanmay for “insulting” the two veterans in the name of comedy.
