Amid this uproar, music maestro AR Rahman seemingly addressed the issue in a seemingly subtle way. During the music launch event of Chhaava, where he is the composer, Rahman took the stage to perform. At the event, lead actor Vicky Kaushal, who portrays the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in the movie was also present.
At one point, actor Vicky Kaushal playfully asked AR Rahman to describe his music using only three emojis. Rahman responded by first making a ‘mouth closed’ gesture, then added,
“This past week, we have all seen what happens when the mouth opens.”
His remark left Vicky laughing and the audience cheering, with many believing it was a well-placed dig at the ongoing controversy. While Rahman did not take any names, his words were enough to hint at the incident, making it another notable reaction to the viral debate.

And you claim yourself to be spiritual ? You even know what’s spirituality ? You know how disciplined, ethical you need to be mentally and physically.

Bro instead of putting out an apology, just make one video praising Modiji. All of your sins will be forgotten.

Have you considered going to Kumbh to wash off all the sins?

You already lost respect. Passing such comments on parents is not a mistake its a crime. In Hinduism, parents are treated as God and you are passing such comment

Not defending the crass and filthy comment of @BeerBicepsGuy .
But a few cuts & editing could have stopped all this nonsense & the SM “Gyandus” could have been avoided.
It was a private ticketed show for private subscribers.

Your objective is to make people laugh by promoting vulagr comedy? If so, please delete your channel.
There is a limit to everything and you must be held accountable if you cross that limit.

You made jokes on physical appearances
You made jokes on someone’s mental health
You made jokes with cheapest vulgarity
And know when you just went through criticism for 2 days, IT IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE 👍
Hope you learn to treat people better.

We expect accountability from comedians and get comedy from politicians. 😵💫
Only in India.More power to you @ReheSamay bhai!
We loved you then, and will stand by you now too! 🙏🏻— CA Himank Singla (@CAHimankSingla) February 12, 2025
I stand by you. I know I will be trolled for this. But the thing has been taken too far. Your was paid content and nothing so wrong compared to Pornography available free. The show name was #indiasgotlatent and was obvious. Feeling bad about where our country is going banning…
