“Hi, @AnupamPKher Great to see your students learning the right values in your “Actor Prepares” workshop.”
Hi @AnupamPKher
He said "Anupam sir ko mera pic bhej dena."
I see you are very proud of your students. Aap log yeh sab encourage karte hoge apni class mein? Waah. Also, Army brat. Nice, as an Army kid myself, I have no words. pic.twitter.com/EEHFcO7PCX— Agrima Joshua ?? (@Agrimonious) July 20, 2020
After posting the screenshots, she said,
“This is just one of the ten thousands of messages I’ve been getting. Arrests don’t fix the mentality of our world. But I just thought maybe mister Kher would be happy to know of the extracurricular activities of his disciples.”
‘Army Brat’ Comment
She criticized Kher that one of his students is behaving in such a manner. He asked Kher that does he encourage this in his class. In the bio of the student’s account, he had mentioned that he is an ‘Army Brat’. She said,
“These same ‘Army Brat’ guys will cry mummy if they had to face one-hundredth of what my dad and other Army folks do in Academy also. Imagine being an adult and your whole personality is your dad’s career. I don’t know sir, Fawad Khan has sent me ZERO ‘ma behen’ threats so maybe that’s why I like him more than I’ll ever like you in my life.”

In the last few weeks, social media has hopped upon the stand-up comedians for their kind of comedy. It started with a video of female stand-up comic Agrima Joshua where she made fun of the government’s decision to build a Chhatrapati Shivaji statue.
Following that, like a wildfire, social media users started to pull out clips of other stand-up comedians who made similar or offensive jokes. Comedian Aadar Malik’s clip where he talks about Lord Ganesha was made viral. Many stand-up comics attracted a lot of hate for their jokes.
