Mumbai: Veteran actor Mukesh Khanna, known for his bold statements, called for a strict action against Popular YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia and the other judges of the controversial ‘India’s Got Latent.’
Condemning the YouTuber’s crass ‘sex’ remarks on the roast show, the ‘Shaktimaan’ actor stated that it’s an offence which shouldn’t be taken lightly.
“It is sad that a successful YouTuber like Ranveer Allahbadia made a horrible statement in a program called India’s Got Latent. Something to do with parents and sex. It enraged the whole nation. This reflects the undue liberty given today to the youth of our country to misuse the power of Freedom of Expression. This is not the first time the limit has been crossed. This is a serious offence. It should not be taken lightly. Offenders should be punished heavily to discourage people in the future from making such ashleel (obscene) and irresponsible statements,” Mukesh wrote on his X handle on Tuesday.
Suggesting a punishment in such cases, he added, “I have a punishment for such people – Kala muh karke gadhe par bitha kar unhe seher mein ghumao (Blacken their face, make them sit on a donkey, and parade them across the city). Next time, no one will dare to do this.”
