Dolly Bindra was seen in a bad mood at the BIG television awards held recently, after becoming a target of some jokes by Raju Shrivastav, Kapil and Manish Paul.
A source reveals “Dolly was furious after being referred to as Ramdev baba ki behen by the actors and after hearing some other jokes that were cracked about her.”
Dolly when contacted reveals “My main point is that these standup comedians should respect women. They forget this when cracking jokes. They are only bothered about themselves and that their act should be funny. Raju bhaiya is such a senior comedian and I had not expected such behavior from him. However I have spoken to Raju as I consider him as my brother. I explained to Raju bhaiya that I did not find the jokes funny and what the problem was. I have nothing personal against newcomers like Kapil but they should know how to behave on stage.”
The actress adds “I am a happy go lucky person and have been taking jokes from the time since I came out from the Bigg Boss house but there is a limit. I am not going to take nonsense. Just because I hate corruption it does not make me Ramdev baba’s sister. There is a certain tone in which one should speak about other people and they should know where to draw the line. The way Raju, Manish and Kapil spoke really offended me and I threatened to come up on the stage, right in between the event. However I decided not to give them any more importance. Overall the function was nice and I did a lot of dhamaal. I enjoy masti mazaak but not when it gets offensive. You can’t expect Dolly Bindra to laugh 24/7. Even I have my mood swings and I can’t always take jokes at my expense.”
As an afterthought Dolly says “I am open and frank and I like to be myself. I have never needed to be artificially nice and I cannot do it. I was blunt and straightforward in Bigg Boss because at that time it was what the circumstances demanded. I am thankful to God that I do not require to change for anyone in this world.”
Dolly seems to be a hot topic among standup comedians. The actress shares another recent incident which had her fuming. Dolly says “Rajiv Thakur from Comedy Circus recently performed an act where he said ‘Dolly baap ka naam lena nahi chahti.’ I called Rajiv and blasted him after which he tried to put the blame on the writers of the show. I also called up producer Vipul Shah and fired the whole team. Vipul said that they will air an apology in the next episode. I don’t mind jokes but there should be some decency.”
Dolly recently appeared on Ratan Ka Rishta where she tested the actress’s prospective grooms. Speaking about the show she says “I was just being myself in the show and spoke naturally to the contestants. I had a good time and tried my best to help Ratan choose a good guy. I do not know whether Ratan will really get married in the show or not. I just did what I had to do and genuinely tried to find a good guy. I might be back in the show soon.”
