Mumbai: The recently held Screen Awards in Mumbai have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

After journalist Saurabh Dwivedis perceived playful dig at actor Rajpal Yadav over his recent cheque-bounce case drew criticism from netizens, including Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, stand-up comedian Zakir Khan has now landed in controversy as well.

His joke about the success of Dhurandhar and how it has allegedly sparked jealousy among some individuals in the industry has triggered a fresh wave of backlash online. Film mein bomb phoote Lyari mein aur yahan dhuaa udaa Bandra se Juhu mein.

(The bombs may have gone off in Lyari, but the smoke is rising from Bandra to Juhu), Zakir said while hosting the show. Reacting to his remarks, actress Ameesha Patel took to X and called out Zakir, requesting him to stop negativity.

She also highlighted how actors like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Sunny Deol have delivered numerous hits throughout their careers. DUDE-Stop spreading NEGATIVITY! film industry has valued n respected DHURANDHAR!
