Shame to his parents

As per a report in Bar and Bench, Justices Surya Kant and N Kotiswar Singh came down heavily on Ranveer for his comments on the show. "The words you have chosen, parents will feel ashamed. Daughters and sisters will feel ashamed. The entire society will be ashamed. These are the levels of depravity you and your henchmen has gone. Rule of law and system has to be followed. He should be ashamed as to what he has done to his parents. We are not in ivory towers and we know how he copied and Australian show content. There are warnings in such shows," the Court said.

The Supreme Court in its hearing today said that such behaviour has to be condemned.

"Just because somebody thinks he becomes so popular and can speak any kind of words, can take entire society for granted? Is there anyone on earth who will like this language? There is something very dirty in his mind which has been vomited," the apex court said.
