" Tannishtha said many of her friends told her not to take the jokes seriously but she argued "
Look at the other people who have taken it in spirit. Learn from it. God bless the guy who falls for such beauty queens with kilo worth make up and tons of agendas.

Abhinav pl. grow up. Having lived in North for long enough to understand the skin complexion bias people have. This is fast spreading due to the fair & lovely ads in TV.
I can understand what Tanishtha had gone through. Not only skin colour but we also joke at people's handicaps. It is time we stop exhibiting prejudice and biases in the name of jokes.
I fully agree with and endorse the views of Tanishtha. In fact, roasting is a totally alien concept for us Indians who prefer to respect and honour everybody. Roasting is against the ethical and moral values embedded in our character and it is very difficult for me at this age too, to bear with the kind of insult which is inflicted on the guests. In India we do it, but only on a very few occasions like Holi, when you are allowed to say offensive (not abusive) words to people around you. Something like roasting is also done by the women of the bride's side when the men from the groom's side used to go for the next day lunch to teh bride's house, when the marriage ceremonies were spread over three or more days.

Fully agree with you. But the moment you talk about culture and values, you are laughed at and you considered a religious bigot. You will be immediately branded as RSS, H1ndu fanatic and so on and so forth. In these TV shows it is fashionbale to be disrespectful and make fun of your culture and heritage
