It is rather uncanny that we are finding it difficult to distinguish between established systems and their functionality. Nowadays, yogis like Baba Ramdev are assuming the role of accredited doctors. And yet, all that can still be excused.

However, when the Indian justice system adorns the veil of hooliganism and journalists masquerade as supreme judges of an investigation jury, it becomes high time for us to realise the hilarity of our country’s systems.

Republic TV had announced that it will reveal the “full truth” (in an age when we don’t even know what truth means) on the Sushant Singh Rajput death case at 10 AM today. For the last few days, while everyone else was focusing on the Hathras case, our dear channel was exposing Bollywood.

What Is The Issue?

The Kapil Sharma Show is an entertainment program that mainly promotes events and movies related to Bollywood, and three days ago, they enacted a skit on the media circus that has been going on around the SSR case, especially mocking the owner of the channel, Arnab Goswami.

Here’s a link to the video.

Twitter broke out in an outrage today morning with the hashtag #BoycottKapilSharma. Our country is not just intolerant to minorities, but funny anecdotes and mimicry as well.

One such tweet explained that the act was a clear “political agenda.” Others commented that the comedy was performed purposely to gain TRP and attract Arnab haters. Many SSR fans have taken the issue personally.

Since the show is owned by Salman Khan, many have also attributed the reason for the comedy sketch to his involvement in many controversies in Bollywood.

Along with other Bollywood players, he has also been blamed for impeding the SSR investigation. The outrage was also because of the recent reveal by AIIMS that SSR died by suicide, as the media is speculating that the information is false.

It is hard to confirm the truth in any piece of information in today’s world, but considering the entire drug fiasco in Bollywood, while there are important issues to consider such as unemployment, caste oppression, female protection and COVID-19, it’s absurd that the community still finds ways to feel passionate about trivialities such as a simple comedy sketch.

The Great Indian Comedy

This is not the first time that India has reacted in such a way against Indian comedians. Many comedians have commented on how the laws regarding freedom of speech have become restricted. In an interview, Punit Pania, an Indian comedian, made the following statement,

“There’s no absolute freedom as you do have to follow the law of the land. Under IPC you can’t make fun of any religion, national icons or person of repute, which is vague enough for people to go after you.”

As far as the SSR case is concerned, it has also been noted by experts that the media trial of Rhea Chakraborty on television was unwarranted.

Although Bollywood needs a recheck, it shouldn’t come at the cost of invading other celebrities’ privacy and taking other issues lightly when they have a surmountable weight on the Indian psyche.

We need justice for SSR, but we also need freedom of speech and some sanity.

  1. Why you people don’t have spine to speak against establishment. No job , dalit is raped every day but you people only show news which suits your boss (political). What arnab does on his chanel daily is naked dance of whore but you are showing news against comedy show . Indians are not mature enough to take comedy or news chanel and paid trolls can’t get it . Grow up.

  2. The country is suffering from more serious and heinous problems SSR suicide did not need 70 to 80 days of prime time. Lakhs of farmers and youngsters are dying by the day due to problems that the govt is unable to handle. There is nothing wrong in the kapil sharma show and these same people did not talk when rhea chakravarthies character was being assassinated. So much of crime is happening in the country and arnab was still busy with SSR. Once the case of handed over to CBI which they demanded it was done and should accept whatever it concludes. But this arnab seems like he has his own police,forensic Dept’s and running a parrellel judiciary. Such a shame on this man he did not had a program on hathras or unemployment or other serious issues. He has sold his soul. I really enjoyed kapil sharma skit and there is just not SSR in whole india there are crores of other important issues.

  3. NOW our indian netizens had become bevakoooofff!!!!
    No one is talking about the other burning issues…why u r not talking about Soldier’s death.. their death is not natural nor a suicide they r killed by the chinese Soldiers..and yes this is murder… not what u all r thinking of Sushant’s case….he has committed suicide…(claimed by AIIMS)…drugs us pr haavi hua aur usne suicide kr liya… kyu itna. Baat ka batangar bana rhe ho jab pta chl gaya hai ki Sushant ji ne drugs liya tha…mujhe nhi pta liya tha ki nhi….!!!!!
    Aur ab….TKSS… jabardasti ghaseet rhe ho ab tum log is show ko…agr boycott krna hi hai to rapists ko kro ..antangvadiyo ko kro.. desh ka naam kahrab krna valo ko boycott kro…aur bhai tumko nhi dekhna matt dekho… jabardasti logo ko kehne se kya faydaa..kaunsa vog tumhari baat maan jayenge….!!!

  4. I am surprised that the writer was mocking baba Ramdev for coronil. Do these people have any idea what Ayurveda is capable of which has its origin from this country only and these people teach you how to make India better when they don’t know and respect what India actually is. Arnab has the guts to stand up for truth and if people still think that the case is about sushant only then you need to understand that it’s about countless other lives lost in Bollywood and about the justice of a middle class family. Yes other important issues are there, then focus on them too but ssr case is also very important. These kind of people who are inferior of their culture without even knowing what it is tell you about India and they mock the public. It’s okay sir/ma’am we don’t really care about what people like you say anymore at least I don’t.

      • Do you know that baba ramdev never denied allopathy .he has only in favour of ayurved,Patanjali products including asan and Pranayam.

    • बिलकुल सही।
      यह एक प्रायोजित लेख है।अगर यह अर्णव के बारे में है, तो बाबा रामदेव को बीच में क्यों घसीट रहा है।अगर देश की ईतनी सारी समस्याए इनको परेशान कर रही हैं तो अपने शो और पत्रकारिताके माध्यम से ये लोग कुछ क्यों नहीं करते?

  7. I am surprised to go through a few nonsense comments. Their comments have some inkling of mockery towards the unnatural and sad demise of SSR. They really do not want to eradicate crime from our country and hence talk irresponsibly about the issues of farmers problem, unemployment, poverty etc. as if these are generated recently by the present Govt. They must learn that for the last 60 years there were hardly any development in any sectors and the results are these manifestations .

    • Why no development? There was all round development. Education, IIT. IIM, Science and technology, Railways, Ships, Air transport and others. Also corruption developed recently. PSUs are the brain work of the Congress. What Modi is selling now was because of the earlier development

  8. Kapil sharma shows are loosing TRP.The criticism ofayur ved shows cheap mentality of sharma.Mocking Arnab who is bold and stood up to big sharks and this spineless sharma can he critize big and powerful.

    • Kapil sharma show is a bakwas show. His show stands nowhere compared to the bold news channel of daring Arnab. Hats off to Republic Channel.

      • If he is so bold as you say why don’t he ever speak against the government and PM cause it’s not possible for a government to not have a single flaw as you bhakts foolishly claims.

  9. I m so surprised seeing the article that this lady wrote. So according to her India does not have freedom of speech and expression. Well the present example is she herself that she is executing her rights by writing this article. This lady is such a hypocrat that she can mock hindu community but has no spine to mock the other minorities. It was because of indian media that SSR’s case came into limelight otherwise the Mumbai police would have closed it so long ago declaring it suicide. Bollywood is enrolled in each and every illegal activity which anyone can even think off and Arnab is trying all his best to give a clean bollywood to India. I don’t have any problem with comedy but doing comedies on issues of national importance is unacceptable and moreover when u yourself don’t have the guts to stand or say a word for it. And I wonder why you people are being so intolerant towards the indian media and indian people as you don’t let them execute their rights of reporting.

  10. Aiswarya Anil – Aspiring writer or a self-righteous hypocite wielding a keyboard??? Probably the latter. Your zealousness to poke fun at Hindus, Hindu culture & Ayurveda, NaMo govt & defend paid other trolls like Kapil Sharma & company at every manufactured opportunity, shows how “objective” you are. Don’t stop, plz keep spewing your nonsense bcoz in an indirect sort of way, your & your peers’ writing makes one realize what good journalism is all about. Both good n bad journalism are like 2 sides of the same coin.

  11. Those who speaks against kapil sharma show where were you when Mr. Hypocrisy Arnab was shouting against other personal.
    You who support arnab are more or less like Arnab himself.

  12. Interesting article on the media trials that are hosted nowadays. And the author isn’t supporting any particular faction, she is simply pointing out the hostility of people and their tendency to jump onto issues without hearing the entirety of it and the growing intolerance of satire and even dissent. She has done a pretty good job with a comprehensive well thought out article.

  15. I guess I had the good fortune of reading your article. It is very well-written. In fact, I have already benefited from your amazing work You pointed out several things You have a gift for discussing these in truthful yet amusing ways. Your articles help us realize that our problems are typical, and we can solve them in constructive ways.

    Thank you and keep these good articles coming. I look forward to reading your next informative work. Thank you.

  17. Kapil Sharma for comedy should not make fun of serious issues. As such his shows are not fit to be shown or seen. It is all forced laughter which is very evident for anyone who has watched it even once or of curiosity and deserves to be taken off.

  18. Arnab has gone mad and needs a bed in mental hospital, he brought journalism down to rock bottom with his irrelevant and biased programs. The way he runs his stupid channel deserves every mocking.

    • Very good slap on media who are just hiding the real issues like economy slowdown farmers protest but are just trying to gain TRP by showing baseless allegations on Bollywood and the government also wants the people to get involved in all of these things and does not question the government on real issues.

  21. You guys dont feel any shame in writing and headlining an article like this? Shame on you. What does the rabid dog do except bark, bark and bark – on anyone who does not want to further the establishment agenda. I have watched Kiku Sarda’s skit; it’s hilarious, good fun, and depicts nothing but reality. It’s people like you who choose to stoop so low and lay on the feet of the political filth, low of lows, just for some bucks. Prostitution of the lowest grade.

  22. What a perfect mimicry of Republic TV Anchor. Actually this show deserves an award. There is no sane reason to boycott it.

    AG is a bigot who thinks he is the only right person. He has been ridiculing one and all..particularly those who refuse to toe his line…and we have the holier than thou actress who is fuelling his scheme to defame people who speak sense. What surprises me most is that people are mindlessly following them with herd mentality.

    SSR apparently lived a life full of vices. He was addicted to drugs since year 2016 or so. He had several flings..live in relationships.

    Look at this scene on Republic TV…The loud mouthed anchor brings a ward boy on the show and puts leading questions to him and gets the poor chap to say it was a murder. Then he shouts at the highest pitch of his voice “We have a clinching evidence..SSR was murdered”. Mindless people with herd mentality get carried away with such gimmicks of this TV News Anchor. He is a shame to Indian Journalism.

    Anyone who talk sense and raise voice against the nonsense of the Anchor and his gang, is booed and trolled.

    People talked of siphoning of Rs 15 crores and money spent on Rhea’s shopping, travel, etc from SSR’s account. I don’t see anything wrong in a boy spending and wasting money on a girl with whom he is having live in relationship. I can understand the grouse of SSRs family as they did not like Rhea but what has gone wrong with the thinking of these holier than thou people. On top of it, vetting of SSR accounts has not provided any clue about the alleged sum of 15 Crores.

    We have renowned psychiatrists on record to show that SSR was bipolar and was under treatment for the same. I am not holding fort for Rhea; if she is involved in drug trafficking she will have to face the consequences. But to accuse that she induced SSR to drugs is not at all digestible. It has come on record that SSR was addicted to drugs since 2016 and Rhea came into his life in April 2019. Everything leads to a conclusion that SSR had suicidal mentality. It is for the investigating agencies to establish whether it was a suicide or homicide. By carrying out these stupid and noisy debates the so called investigative journalists are interfering with the investigation and diverting attention of the investigators to several unrelated issues and putting unnecessary pressure. This is most unfair and unfortunate.

  25. I agree with you on Republic TV…it’s non sense…but you calling the whole nation intolerant to minorities is plain stupid…just like arnab you too don’t have any journalistic ethic…like him you draw conclusions based on emotions…

  26. I don’t think you have the right to question someone else’s interest about what shows on his channel and for how long. Which section of the IPC did u quote in you article? Please be specific while quoting law because the law has to be specific you cannot beat around the bush with it. Nd about our country being intolerant to minorities, please give the statistics about the reduction of minority population over the last decade and instances of any genocide against muslims, jews, christians, parsis, Sikhs, buddhists,Jain’s etc in our country? Without proper data your atricle looks like a stup id story imagined by a half baked mind because of frustration of not being given importance.

  27. A planted leftist, will mock everything which is constitunal. They won’t utter a word when anti India slogans are shouted in Unfortunately about our country is that we are extra torlentant, these creatures would not dare to write anything against Rajmata

  28. What is the meaning of freedom of speech!
    Is it mimicking others and making fun of others?
    We need justice for shushant and it is high time, bollywood is always being bullying stars like sushant, we have seen how bollywood is filled with drugs and it indirectly funds anit nationals.
    We have see lots of examples like Deepika was seen in JNU. There r other lots of examples.

  29. I dont think this INSANE desrve any attention for his crap journlism. I am ashamed India has such mentally sick people

  30. Can hardly compare the 2 shows. One is pure satire which borderlines on stupid the other one unknowingly becomes a stupid pride because it is headed by a screaming schizophrenic.
    By the way…..anyone heard about the brutal rape, torture and killing of that poor dalit girl in Hathras or is that humorist and that schizophrenic journalist trying to cover up for some rapists and murderers??

  31. #boycottkapil this type of commedy shows that kapil is now piggy of his malik…salmankhan….
    Agar arnab salman per baat kare to ye piggy pahle arnab per hamla kare….
    Aakhir jiski khaye roti uski nibhaye wafadari

  32. Waao what a show..kapil Sharma show the best show…and who is Arnab Goswami….kapil sharma show it is thr job they make people laugh…good going kiku sharda…great… matlab kyu boycott…sabse acha episode tha…aur waise b arnab Goswami kaha bolne deta hai kisi ko.. bula leta hai khud hi bolta rehta hai..I think instead of kapil sharma show we should Boycott arbab Goswami so called republic channel…..
