Harsh Gujral's Divorce Joke Sparks Outrage
5 Oct
Summary
- Comedian Harsh Gujral made a joke about Gaurav Khanna's divorce.
- The joke was made during the Khatron Ke Khiladi 15 finale.
- Social media users heavily criticized Gujral for the insensitive remark.
The recent finale of Khatron Ke Khiladi season 15 concluded with Avinash Mishra claiming the trophy. However, the event was overshadowed by a controversy involving comedian Harsh Gujral. Gujral faced widespread criticism for making a joke about fellow contestant Gaurav Khanna's divorce from Akanksha Chamola during the episode.
The incident occurred when Gujral, during a promotional interaction with Archana Puran Singh, humorously suggested Khanna be cast in a show called 'Pati Patni Aur Panga,' referencing his marital situation. While Khanna appeared unoffended and even smiled, claiming he had learned to take jokes sportingly, social media users were not as forgiving.
Clips of the joke circulated rapidly online, with many users denouncing Gujral's comments as "way out of line" and "extremely cruel." Critics argued that targeting personal matters under the guise of comedy was inappropriate and toxic. Despite the public outcry, neither Gujral nor Khanna have issued public statements regarding the controversy.
