AIB stand-up comedian Tanmay Bhat has been receiving flak for his Snapchat video. The video titled ‘Sachin vs Lata Civil War’ went viral and has been drawing severe backlash on social networking sites.
The purported video in which he allegedly mocked Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar has evoked a sharp reaction from several circles including Raj Thackeray’s MNS. Check out what Bollywood thinks about Tanmay Bhat’s video

You can dislike his joke, call him names, unfollow him, but don’t penalise the guy for doing what he does..his job as a comedian!#tanmaybhat

This should teach #TanmayBhat a lesson. Better to talk to Dawood than crack unfunny jokes. https://t.co/TwDfoSwBwp

The AIB video – #TanmayBhat needs to be made to grovel at Latajis feet and publicly apologize. Its appalling.
