Comedian Sunil Pal, the winner of 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge' in 2005 was participating in a debate over Tanmay Bhatt's controversial snapchat video on Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar.
“dirtiest, ugliest joke by Tanmay Bhatt.. learn from Kapil Sharma”-Subhash Ghai
Sunil, who has also acted in Bollywood films, was trying to explain the comedy scene in India these days and during this he happened to make a remark on gays and lesbians which invited a lot of lashings on social media platforms.
Sunil was probably referring to AIB Knockout Event by Bollywood celebs Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor and Karan Johar that created a lot of controversy when he stated that modern stand-up comedy consists of speaking about vulgar things in front of the audience, mocking girls and guys in, and half the crowd consists of ‘gays and lesbians’, who enjoy the comedy because they want to ‘dirty the world and society’. "Aadhe se zyaada andar toh gay aur lesbian baithe hote hai. Samaaj ko ganda hi karna hai unhone""
Sunil faced lashings over this from people on social media, including Tv and Film celebs.

Tv actor Nakuul Mehta wrote, "The difference between Tanmay & Sunil Pal's video being that the latter din't start with a statutory msg about loving LGBT community."
