Salman Khan said a TV host should be sensitive towards his audience. His views were echoed by other guests including Varun Dhawan, Maniesh Paul and Vicky Kaushal. The comments follow Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars on Sunday.
Earlier, humour was khul ke (openly) and now things have become sensitive, says Salman. It is the duty of an artist to check what the writers have written in the script, says Varun.
Salman Khan will host the 22nd edition of IIFA Weekend and Awards, to be held in Abu Dhabi. Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars turned out to be the biggest headline of the day. Will walked up to the stage to hit Chris who cracked a joke on his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
He said a joke about Jada’s medical condition was too much to bear and he reacted emotionally. “I was out of line and I was wrong,” he said.
