While his co-star from 'Chakravyuh' Esha Gupta couldn't stop laughing, others weren't exactly amused.

Watching it, one user wrote- "Sadly you were cute & intelligent but by doing something like this you just lost all your charm. Someone else’s misery isn’t your playground." Another one stated- "This post is in such a bad taste. Unfollowing." There were many other users who shared the laughing emojis on the comments, though.

Days after the 94th Academy Awards ceremony, actor and comedian Tony Rock slammed Will Smith for slapping his elder brother Chris Rock during the show's live
telecast on Sunday. "If you walk your a-- up here, you ain't nominated for s--t but these motherf--ing hands!" Tony Rock told his audience during a recent stand-up comedy show, as per People magazine. Tony, 47, began his act by reminding the audience about the 2022 Oscars slap controversy involving his brother Chris, 57, and actor Will Smith, 53.

A video from the stand-up comedy show was posted on YouTube where Tony could be seen opening up his Raleigh, North Carolina, performance with a warning, saying, "If you think you gonna walk up on this stage, this ain't the motherf--ing Oscars."

"I didn't want to start the show like that!" Tony continued referencing the infamous Oscars incident, saying, "You gonna hit my motherf--ing brother because your b--h gave you a side-eye?"

Earlier this week, Tony had taken to his Twitter, to disapprove of Smith's apology before noting that his brother is "fine" after the tribulation. He also told his followers on Tuesday that he is "waiting" for Smith to speak directly to his brother and family after a fan pointed out Smith's ordeal relationship with Chris over the years.
