Amid the ongoing debate around the use of cuss words in stand-up comedy, comedian Zakir Khan has shared his perspective on veteran lyricist and screenwriter Javed Akhtar’s recent remarks. The discussion comes at a time when comedians and their content are facing heightened scrutiny, following controversies around viral clips and backlash against shows like Samay Raina’s YouTube series, which many viewers labelled “vulgar.”

Gautami Kapoor, who was recently seen opposite R Madhavan in De De Pyaar De 2 also starring Ajay Devgn and Rakul Preet Singh, has finally spoken about the online backlash she faced over a remark she made during a podcast about parenting and openness with her daughter, Sia Kapoor, about her willingness to buy a sex toy for her 16th birthday. The comment, which resurfaced months later, unexpectedly turned into a full-blown controversy, leaving the actor disturbed and emotionally drained.
