Samarth Jurel Crossed The Limits of Shamelessness: TV’s popular cooking-comedy show ‘Laughter Chefs’ Season 3 has started with controversies. A ‘joking’ act done by Samarth Jurel with actress Jannat Zubair in the recent episode of the show has created a storm of anger on social media. The audience has termed it not ‘comedy’ but ‘indecency’. ‘Bigg Boss 17’ fame Samarth Jurel is known for his strange antics, but on the set of ‘Laughter Chefs 3’, he did something with Jannat Zubair which not only made Jannat look uncomfortable, but the audience also called it ‘the height of lewdness’. As soon as this clip went viral on social media, Samarth and the channel were being criticized.

What was that ‘ridiculous’ act?

During the episode, when Jannat Zubair was busy cooking, Samarth Jurel came close to her and in the name of ‘comedy’ did some actions which were physically against dignity. It can be clearly seen in the viral video that Jannat tried to handle the situation by smiling, but discomfort was clearly visible on her face. Viewers say that doing this kind of physical humor with a woman without her consent is close to ‘harassment’.

Public enraged: Accusations against channel and Samarth

‘Shame On Samarth’ and ‘Disgusting Laughter Chefs’ started trending on social media. Public’s anger: People say that the channel has fallen so much in the pursuit of TRP that they are telecasting such misbehavior with women by calling it ‘funny’. One user wrote, “Is this a show to watch with the family or to show the absurdity of Samarth? What happened to Jannat was not funny at all.”

This is the result of promoting forced love-angle script given by creatives of laughter Chefs to over actors like Samarth who then do this type of cringe disgusting behavior in the name of flirting where Jannat is clearly feeling very uncomfortable.. #ElvishYadav #ElvishArmy… pic.twitter.com/DBMHv30w2N

Questions raised on Colors TV and makers

Viewers have accused Colors TV of promoting cheapness. People argue that even if something like this had happened during the shoot, why did the makers not edit it? Showing it on national TV reflects the mentality of the channel. Fans have demanded that Samarth Jurel should be thrown out of the show or he should apologize publicly to Jannat.

Jannat Zubair and Samarth’s side

At present, Jannat Zubair has maintained silence on this controversy, but her fans have come out in her support. At the same time, Samarth Jurel has been trolled earlier also due to his ‘guggler’ image and habit of ‘poking’, but this time the matter seems to be crossing all limits.
