Viewers of lesser-known comedy show on Zee group’s TV channel were left shocked on Thursday night, when the non-fiction programme decided to go jugular against actor Aamir Khan.
A significant chunk of the programme, Life Ka Recharge, was dedicated to mocking the PK star for his comments on the growing religious intolerance in India last year.
The programme, which is meant to provide laughter and ‘tickle your funny bone’ with ‘skits, gags and public opinions,’ clearly left a lot of comedy fans on Thursday night puzzled about its sudden change in remit.
The two main hosts, Vikalp Mehta and Mintoo Sharma, decided to sledge Aamir for his intolerance comments by heaping insults through what appeared to be carefully orchestrated public opinion critical of the actor.
It didn’t make sense as to anchor’s one-sided insulting jibes for Aamir coupled with carefully recorded ‘public opinions’ billed as social media conversations qualified comedy unless the purpose of the channel was to throw its support for the BJP.
