Kapil Sharma Responds To Netizens Accusations Of Making Racist Remarks Over Atlee’s Appearance
On December 15, a social media user wrote, “Kapil Sharma subtly insults Atlee’s looks? Atlee responds like a boss: Don’t judge by appearance, judge by the heart. This post garnered a lot of attention, leading to internet users bashing Kapil Sharma for making racist remarks. While some criticised the comedian’s comments, saying, “I watched this episode this afternoon. I was thinking the same. Maybe his intention was not that, but then he should have framed the question in a much better way. But all in all, he is a champion of body shaming, so not surprising at all,” others took a stand, saying, “He took a dig at Atlee’s being young and looking young, and for that reason potentially not taken seriously as a filmmaker. But there is no reference to any other aspect of “looks” here. And the reference made is laudatory rather than derogatory. It seems like you are the one looking down at his “looks” and projecting.”

(guys watch n decide by yourself, don’t follow any body’s tweet like a sheep).” Even though he made a clarification, many comments still said that the comedian indirectly insulted Atlee.”
