Recently, a comedian based out in Hyderabad sparked a huge controversy by making needless remarks on the personal lives of top league Tollywood actors like Pawan Kalyan and Ram Charan in one of his shows. He literally dragged the family members of these heroes and tried to generate a few laughs with his unpalatable statements. 

These unnecessary remarks are presently going viral on social media platforms, inviting strong backlash from all quarters as they appear to mock the actors directly in the name of comedy. By passing unwarranted remarks in public with the use of unfortunate incidents in an individual’s life is no way considered as comedy at any level.
