Vir Das has responded to rumours that he has agreed to be a participant in the upcoming reality show hosted by Kangana Ranaut.
Stating that he was never approached for the show, he added that he also does not have any interest in it. He also wished the best for Kangana and her team.
“Hey all. Not sure who this journalist is. Or if journalism still exists. But just to clarify because there’s a lot of people writing to me. Have never been approached, and am not doing or interested in this. Wish Kangana and her cast all the very best being locked up. Cheers,” Vir tweeted Tuesday morning.
After a portion of his show at the John F Kennedy Centre in Washington DC went viral last year in November, Kangana had slammed Vir Das for his monologue about India and demanded strict action to be taken against him.
