One fine day in December, a comedy collective, All India Bakchod, experimented with fire. They tried ‘roasting’ Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor and literally ‘burning’ filmmaker Karan Johar in front of as many as 4000 people at a Mumbai stadium. The audience enjoyed, they were thrilled, but what followed thereafter was not half as thrilling.
Anger and resentment over the ‘filth and dirt’ splurged over the stars present at the event took over Twitter and other social media platform. AIB was the moot point of all conversations.
We bring to you the story, the AIB Roast Recipe, as and when it happened:
1. So, the cool cats of the industry dared to take on the ‘Roast’. And the praises started pouring in. Deepika Padukone and Alia Bhatt among others appreciated the first of its kind event.
