‘Hinglish’ standups head to Dubai

Yes. No sooner had I posted something on social media about Rhea, people started trolling me. I took it down immediately because of my mother. She’s 78-years-old and likes to see nice things being written about her sons on social media, not trolls. She was worried about me and told me to delete the post. I have been here long enough to know that people who troll you are nameless, faceless people. I had merely written about how Rhea was being hounded by the media. I didn’t think it was right for them to do so. That was it and people just started trolling me saying all sorts of things like ‘why are you supporting a drug addict’. I want them to know that I was merely supporting a helpless woman. Even a murderer is given a fair trial and Rhea will also be given one, so why is the media being judgemental.

If 2020 has got you down in the dumps, don’t worry, here’s a chance to laugh your guts out. Starting on Friday, ‘Viu Comedy Box Office’ (Season 2) is set to grip Dubai in rib-tickling humour, with a lineup of some of India’s funniest ‘Hinglish’ standup comedians, live IPL cricket sand groovy DJ music.
