Expanding the circle here>>>

Russell Peters has never watched a single Bollywood movie but trashes and condemns them. In fact uses BW movies as a principal form of fodder for his jokes. All based on hearsay ๐Ÿ˜†
.


Yes. Of course. I'll add that to the list.

People don't watch PK and call it "offensive" or "mocking Hinduism" based on hearsay.

Aamir doesn't watch AIB knockout and calls it "offensive" or "violent" based on hearsay.

Russel doesn't watch Bollywood films and calls them "stupid" or "dumb" based on hearsay.

Still don't see how it made Aamir less of a hypocrite.

Russel is a stand up comic and his bread and butter is assumptions like this. Some people are self proclaimed religious stalwarts and it is expected of them to have a low tolerance level. Aamir is the only one who packages himself as better than everyone else, but then goes and does the same.

But hey, I do have the right/freedom to ask for a restriction. ๐Ÿ˜† AIB deserves an update thread. ๐Ÿ‘

How does Aamir package himself as better than everyone else? Is it because he hosts a show like SMJ? I don't think hosting a social awareness show sets him up as having a higher moral or ethical bar. Why should a comic have greater privilege in terms of hypocrisy than an actor? Both are selling make-belief and entertainment stuff.

In the same way someone who watched PK and then tells his friend a summary who then gets offended based on that.

It isn't just the fact that he hosts a social awareness show. It is the lofty self righteous image he has created for himself. I think the TVF video about Arnub vs. Free speech beautifully captured Aamir Khan.

All three examples in my post are equally guilty of hearsay. No one is absolved of hearsay. It is only ironic when it comes from Aamir Khan because 1) He objected to hearsay against PK and 2) He paints himself as someone above such things.
