Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan recently attended the trailer launch of her upcoming film 'Pati Patni Aur Woh Do' in Mumbai. However, the event took an awkward turn when the host made a controversial joke that left her visibly uncomfortable. The moment quickly went viral on social media, drawing widespread criticism from netizens.
What Happened at the Event?
On Saturday, Sara Ali Khan joined her co-stars Ayushmann Khurrana, Rakul Preet Singh, and Wamiqa Gabbi for the trailer launch. Clips from the event show the host making a cheeky remark. He said, "You know those reels where you show a celebrity's back and ask people to guess who it is? I'm not lying — I can recognize all celebrities from behind. I've spent so much time on that." The comment immediately caused unease among the cast.
Sara's Reaction
Upon hearing the host's words, Sara appeared visibly stunned. She exchanged a quick glance with her co-stars and whispered to Ayushmann, "What is he saying?" The video captures her discomfort as she shifts in her seat, clearly taken aback by the inappropriate joke.
Netizens Slam the Host
The clip sparked a wave of backlash online. Many users criticized the host for his remarks and questioned why no one intervened. One user wrote, "Wow, and they are sitting and laughing. Instead of asking him to stop." Another commented, "The guts." A third user added, "It's called shamelessness, not funny." Others vented frustration, saying, "These so-called stand-up comedians normalize all these things."
