We all are aware of the tensed situation going on between the two countries India and Pakistan.

Actor Swara Bhaskar who is known to speak her mind has slammed comedian Trevor Noah over his insensitive comments on Indo-Pak tensions.

South African comedian Trevor Noah, host of 'The Daily Show', during an episode, tried to find humour in the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.

In the video, being shared widely on social media, Noah said that while he hopes India and Pakistan do not go to war, it would be the "most entertaining" war if they did.

Trevor Noah took a jibe at Bollywood dance numbers and said that Indian soldiers would go on the battlefield singing and dancing.

He even pantomimed our soldiers shooting at the enemy while in the middle of a jig and said, "It would also be the longest war of all time. Another dance number? I'm sorry, I love Bollywood, I do."

Swara Bhaskar lashed out at the comedian for his "ignorant and racist" jokes. "1. War isn't funny or entertaining. 2. Hindi is not gibberish. Your stereotype of Indo-Pak is ignorant and racist. 3. Your set smacks of essentialism and a patronising generalisation and is very first world. 4. Human lives were lost and at stake. SO disappointing!" she wrote on Twitter.

Comedian Mallika Dua too slammed Noah over his remarks and took to Twitter to write, "Shockingly unintelligent & tone-deaf What makes it sadder is that @Trevornoah cracked such a below average, shit joke. Something Russel Peters probably threw in the bin before his first open mic in life. If you're going to be a racist comic than at least get the comic bit right."

However, the current situation between the two nations is much better than earlier as the IAF pilot Abhinandan has returned India back.
