There's a difference between humour and humiliation: Shekhar Suman
Shekhar Suman calls for 'clean' comedy; Says we need to understand the difference between humour and humiliation.
Actor Shekhar Suman believes stand-up comedians need to have a responsible approach towards their craft and ensure their remarks don't hurt the sentiments of any section of the society.Suman, 59, is a known face in the television comedy circuit courtesy of the popular 1990s sitcom Dekh Bhai Dekh and the talk show Movers & Shakers. He has also served as a judge on reality comedy shows such as Comedy Circus, Comedy Superstar, Laugh India Laugh, and The Great Indian Laughter Challenge.The actor-host, who is now returning to the genre as a judge on India's Laughter Champion, said comedians should not exploit freedom of speech."Now there cannot be a joke in a silly way about women, racist remarks or something about religion. Earlier people got away with that but not today. You have to be careful and it is going to be a tightrope walk. The challenge is to not say all those things and yet be funny," the actor said.Read all the Latest News, Trending News, Cricket News, Bollywood News, India News and Entertainment News here.
