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.

How does Aamir package himself 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.




Because he likes to scold grown adults on their behaviour that doesn't suit well with his moral sensibilities, and lecture them on "responsibility" and not offending people, contrasting himself on how "responsible" he is compared to them, all the while releasing a film that offends thousands of Hindus, and making films that are filled with violence, vulgarity and profanity, something that he deeply affected him about the roast. 😆

He does do that doesn't he.

I did watch the video he made. He said clear as day "im not 14 that I find abusive language funny"

I find abusive language funny and im in my 20's 😆😆😆

That was a sign of disrespect and arrogance

Im compelled to file and FIR against him 😆😆😆😆

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

What did they say about Arpita Khan?

Peters is right and wrong. He's right for calling out Aamir on being an ignorant @ss but he's wrong for the hate he has towards Bollywood and the profession of acting. If he thinks that acting isn't real art and it's not honest, then he's completely wrong. There is nothing more honest than a good performance and that's the truth...

No its not the same...KJo was hosting the show...Arjun was a participant in that show...and if they told Aamir what they said in the show ...its not heresay...

How is it not the same?, if I watch PK, and then I tell my friend about the film and he gets offended, how is that any diiferent to Karan, Arjun or any audience member who watched the show and then tells his friend, who then gets offended?
