In the Wake of The Tanmay Bhat Controversy NY Times Tags Lata Mageshkar as a 'So Called Singer'

Comedian Tanmay Bhatt is receiving a lot of backlash over his videos poking fun at Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mageshkar. The video, which liberally ridiculed and 'roasted' Lata and Sachin, went viral on the social media and other channels and triggered widespread outrage.

Among other things, in the video, Bhat has shown a face-swap. Statements like 'why the 86-year-old Lata was still alive' and 'who was the better player between the 43-year-old Sachin and Virat Kohli' raised a howl of protests and condemnation.
