When was the last time you saw Karan Johar cracking jokes on his sexuality, Arjun Kapoor shouting out loud teri maa ki *****, and Ranveer Singh posing in doggy style? All this happened on a stage set by All India Bakchods(AIB), one of the most famous comedy groups in India.
AIB is generally famous for their hilarious videos and stand up comedy acts, but this was the first time when they brought Bollywood stars in front of a live audience to insult, abuse and roast each other.
Karan Johar was made the roast master, and Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh were the ones who got roasted in front of some A-list Bollywood stars and other 4000 people present there.
What we generally see is that celebrities maintain a sense of decorum and dignity when seen in public but all that was thrown in the back seat when they stepped up on the stage of AIB. The AIB comedians along with Rajeev Masand, Raghu Ram and Karan Johar took mean and explicitly vulgar digs at two stars, while all they could do was just bear it.
All I was thinking while watching the toilet humour going on in full swing was that even the biggest celebrities can be as filthy, disgusting, and shameless as any other citizen of the country. The onslaught which I witnessed can put even an engineering student to shame (they must have got what I mean). There were jokes made at their sex lives, flop movies and past relationships. If the video has to show on televisoion, all you would hear is, ‘Bee…………………………………………………………………………eeep’.
The concept has been taken from the west, where roast of celebrities like Charlie Sheen and Pamela Anderson have already made people die with laughter. But for the Indian audience this was a completely new experience. We had never expected these celebrities to take such filthy and nasty insults so sportingly.
The stars were brought right out of their stardom to the ground and buried deep inside. Not for once you could see any kind of shame or resentment on the faces of the celebrities who used the most abusive and vulgar language possible. Even the movie Delhi Belly will look like a small kid in front the All India Bakchods who definitely set the stage on fire.
It was not just the people on stage who were insulted by the demeaning jokes, no one even on the outside was spared. From Alia Bhatt to Deepika Padukone to Parineeti Chopra to Farida Jalal, I am sure they all must have turned red after watching it.
It will be very interesting to see how other Bollywood stars react to it and if the roast continues in future or not. I am sure everyone must be very curious to see the explicit side of some of the other Bollywood stars as well. Meanwhile, just sit back and roll out with laughter watching this berzerk and hilarious presentation by All India Bakchods.
