Actor-comedian Vir Das took a tongue-in-cheek jibe at the award ceremonies in India, wondering why comedians ” not approached to host any award show in India. He went on to take a dig at the ongoing India’s Got Latent stir.
It seemed he was referring to the Oscars ceremony, which was hosted by Conan O’Brien, in his post.
The actor-comedian took to Instagram to share his views around the award shows, seemingly taking a dig at the India’s Got Latent row, which surfaced following Ranveer Allahbadia’s controversial joke on Samay Raina’s show.
“While watching a major entertainment awards show. I’m pretty sure a few fellow Indian comedians play a game in our head. We wonder why Indian awards shows don’t use modern stand-up comedians at major awards,” Vir wrote.
Vir added, “Then….we think of some of the okes we would do, the utter shitstorm that would follow, then we think it’s probably for the best”.
