Bollywood celebrities often refrain from commenting on political parties or leaders in our country but last year, something unusual happened with Randeep Hooda when the actor was slammed for making a ‘casteist’ and ‘s*xist’ joke on politician Mayawati. His comment didn’t sit well with netizens who blasted Hooda for his offensive joke on the politician. Scroll below to read the scoop.
A lot of B-town celebrities have joined politics along with having a successful career in the Hindi film industry including Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hema Malini, Dharmendra, Kirron Kher and Shatrughan Sinha to name a few. Coming back to Hooda’s topic, netizens didn’t like his comments on the politician and called him privileged and biased towards Dalit.
Randeep Hooda can be seen sitting on a stage as he interacts with the audience and adds that he’s going to make a ‘dirty joke’ and brings Mayawati into the conversation. For obvious reasons, this didn’t go well with netizens and they started trolling him on social media.
