Payal Rohatgi says, “Ye joh comedians hote hain na ye humour ke naam pe, sarcasm ke naam par bhagwaan ko attack karte hain.” Munawar Faruqui adds, “Oscar mein hinsa mana nahi ha.” While Payal replies, “Agar humour ke naam par agar ek pati ki patni ka mazak udta hai toh thappad maara jaa sakta hai, toh kisi bhi religion ke upar jaana he nahi chahiye.”
The comedian gets offended by Payal’s statement as he asks her to stop whatever she’s trying to say. The actress then questions him about bringing up the topic of violence as she referred to a task that included Poonam Pandey and Anjali Arora. Faruqui then cleared his stance while Payal apologised to him. Later the two walked off but Munawar continued his rant in front of Anjali, Nisha and Poonam.
Munawar Faruqui said, “Religion religion you don’t know anything about the matter. I am not here aise he. Aise laakhon log follow nahi karte… Iski jali padi hai toh ye mere se aise nikalegi. There are things that are sub judice and sensitive. Does she even know what the truth is? Just because I am quiet it doesn’t mean I am an offender. Argument karke karke these people think they win over the internet. They are foolish people. People who argue on internet are the most foolish people.”
