Ghai’s comment came after All India Bakchod’s (AIB) Tanmay Bhat received flak for uploading a “Sachin vs Lata Civil War” video on two Bharat Ratnas -- legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar and cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar.

Ghai tweeted on Tuesday that Indians are “terribly hurt” by jokes made on the two.
