She issued a clarification and said that "this video is taken from a full YouTube video, so it does not reflect the actual perspective of the clip."
The stand-up comedy space in India has grown massively in the last couple of years. Many people watch these stand-up videos and comedy shows in their free time. Several even book offline tickets to watch the shows live. However, sometimes, the jokes by the comedians don't go well with the audience and can offend a large section of people. Similarly, stand-up comedian Vidushi Swaroop is being heavily slammed online after a video of her calling prostitution a "cool profession" went viral. The now-viral clip is from one of her stand-up acts. Nothing is more dumb than saying Prostitution is a cool profession, ask those women who are working & going through these things.Those who are laughing & encouraging her for her idiotic stuff , pls start using your brain .pic.twitter.com/OUlohYUSRC
In the clip, Ms Swaroop begins by labelling prostitution a "cool profession". She goes on to discuss the "experience" in the profession and how it differs from the rest. These insensitive remarks by her angered the internet.
"Where is the comedy? I didn't feel anything other than disgust," said a user.
