Filmmaker Subhash Ghai has praised comedian-actor Kapil Sharma for not hurting or disrespecting legends on his popular TV show The Kapil Sharma Show.
Ghai’s comment came after AIB comedian Tanmay Bhat received flak for uploading a Sachin vs Lata Civil War video, making fun of veteran singer Lata Mangeshkar and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.
“People of India are terribly hurt by new comedy/jokes on elders icons... The inspirations to generations. Learn to respect elders. Stop it here,” Ghai tweeted.
The filmmaker, who has directed films such as Karz, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak and Pardes, shared that Sharma’s show is popular and people should learn from him.
“The Kapil Sharma Show is the most popular comedy show today. Has he ever hurt anyone or disrespected senior icons or legends? Let’s learn from him,” he added.
Ghai had earlier shown interest to work with the Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon star.
