Whether it was Karma, whether it was the roast or any coming in the news. Raju Srivastava took every opportunity he ever got to shit on new comics, especially after the new wave of stand-up started. He went on every news channel every time he was invited to go shit on an upcoming art form and call it offensive just because he couldn't understand it and new stars were rising. He might have told a few good jokes but he understood nothing about the spirit of comedy or defending someone's right to say something even if you don't agree."Rohan Joshi issues clarification after heavy backlashFollowing this, many of Raju's fans slammed him for his insensitive and inappropriate comment on the day when a person passed away. The comment was deleted after the heavy backlash from people. One user wrote, "Mojo Rojo Is just letting people know that he is still alive, (which nobody cares btw)!", while another commented, "That's how a person should give respect to a senior of his field, unlike Mojo Rojo him."Later in his clarification, AIB fame Rohan Joshi said that he spoke out of anger further adding that it was not the right time for his personal feelings.
