All India Bakchod (AIB) member and famous comedian Tanmay Bhat faced the wrath of B-Town celebrities and Twitterati for poking fun at nation’s two biggest icons— Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar.
It all started after Bhat posted a video with a title involving these two great personalities names — “Sachin vs Lata Civil War”. Both Tendulkar and Lata are Bharat Ratna recipients and audiences have not taken this kindly. Also Read: Where was the humour in Tanmay Bhat’s Sachin Tendulkar-Lata Mangeshkar video?
Earlier political party MNS lodged a complaint against Bhat and even the Shiv Sena asked Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis to take strict action. Former IPS officer YP Singh has even demanded custodial interrogation of the comedian.
Despite this outrage, Bhat has not learned a lesson and had yesterday tweeted:
A snapstory is going to be on the news tonight. Congrats everyone.

Did it really work? No! Not only politicians and celebrities, common people from all quarters continued to criticise Bhat and demanded serious action.

A country that seeks to jail comedians will end up being ruled by jokers, or by, The Joker. #TanmayBhat — SANJAY HEGDE (@sanjayuvacha) May 30, 2016

This should teach #TanmayBhat a lesson. Better to talk to Dawood than crack unfunny jokes. https://t.co/TwDfoSwBwp — Shirish Kunder (@ShirishKunder) May 30, 2016

To arrest #TanmayBhat 1st you have to arrange these things 1. Extra large handcuffs 2. Maal Gaadi for Transport 3. New prison to put him in. — PhD in Bakchodi ! (@Atheist_Krishna) May 30, 2016
Social media was used to promote/critique/comic TV stories. Now, increasingly, TV follows-up on social media happenings.#TanmayBhat
