The All India Bakchod (AIB) knockout roast video featuring Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Karan Johar has left many criticising the show and labeling it a "National shame".
The viral video has now been removed from YouTube following complaints by some protesters, who found the video obscene. The Maharashtra government has ordered Mumbai police to investigate the show for obscenity.
While, a large section of viewers believe that AIB, along with influential celebs, are 'polluting' the Indian culture, the victims and some celebs decided to respond to the controversies surrounding the same.
Filmmaker Karan Johar, who was subjected to jokes on the show tweeted:
Not your cup of tea...don't drink it!!!

Even Arjun Kapoor took a firm stand and tweeted: "Today nothing matters." Kapoor's "Gunday" co-star Singh is yet to react to the criticism.
Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha and Deepika Padukone who were present at the show, tweeted

Film producer Ritesh Sidhwani too reacted after the video was pulled down from YouTube.
