Days after stand-up star Trevor Noah took a dig at the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan stating that should the two countries go to war, it would be the "most entertaining war of all times", comedian Vir Das says it is not his place to judge another comic. Noah had courted controversy after he had mocked the situation on his popular prime-time talk show, indicating that Indian soldiers would break into a Bollywood dance in the midst of battle.

"The audience is entitled to any kind of reaction pertaining to a joke, but a comedian must always be prepared for that," says Das, adding that he too has made light of "enough sensitive issues". "When I've made a joke, I've always felt that it was okay to crack it, but I've been prepared for the [response] to it. It is bad for a comedian to comment on another comedian's joke. [One should] never tell a comedian what he should, or should not [make light] of."
