Controversies
favourite baby Rakhi Sawant is once again
caught in a contention. The incident happened
on the sets of her Sony show, Comedy Ka
Badsshah Haseega India where producer Vipul
D Shah was busy canning the first episode
of Mahasangram India - Pakistan Special.
Now the initiative which looked like increasing
cultural harmony by bringing stand up comedians
from two nations together on a common platform
took a different turn when an Indian contestant
walked out of the sets accusing Rakhi of
a biased judgment.
Here are the details: Funnymen Albela from
India and Sultan from Pakistan were the
first two contestants pitted against each
other in this episode. After the first round,
Sultan scored higher then Albela. In the
second round, Sultan completed his stand-up
comedy and it was Albela's turn to present
his gag. That's when Albela refused to perform
accusing Rakhi of a being unfair claiming
that she was more lenient towards Sultan
because he hails from Pakistan. To which
Rakhi retorted, "We have taken this
decision from our hearts'. She was speaking
on behalf of co-judges Raju Srivastav and
Pakistani stand-up comedian Kasif.
Albela flared commenting that he was not
like the Indian cricketers who would take
defeat easily and that to him it means his
career. Rakhi tried to pacify him saying,
"Our (India's) USP is to be nice to
people". But Albela had made up his
mind and stormed off the sets. The producer
had a tough time convincing the angry man
to complete the episode and "it was
quite a task", he sighs.
What we figure from all this hungama is
that either the makers have woken up late
and are celebrating a belated Fool's Day
or it's simply a publicity peg as the production
is going to air the entire drama as it is.
What say?
