Like most celebrities around the world, the 2022 Oscars have become a hot topic of discussion. Specifically, the incident where Will Smith slaps comedian Chris Rock for making fun of his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. Everyone is weighing in their opinion and picking sides. Paresh Rawal has his own take on the incident.

The Bollywood actor extends his support to not just Chris Rock, but comedians everywhere. In a bizarre tweet, Paresh tries to explain the ‘danger’ comedians face by mentioning both Chris and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

For those, who are unaware, the Ukrainian President is a former comedian. He is currently fighting for his country from the Russian invasion. Paresh Rawal’s take is certainly interesting.

Meanwhile, Hollywood comedian-actor Jim Carrey also sides with Chris Rock. According to the Ace Ventura star, Hollywood is “spineless” for giving a standing ovation to Will Smith for winning ‘Best Actor’ after assaulting Chris Rock.

Comedians Stand With Chris

Jim and Paresh Rawal aren’t alone, several prominent comedians rally behind Chris Rock, demanding the Academy to take away Will’s Oscar or ban him from attending future award shows. From Adam Sandler to Judd Apatow, here are several comedians condemning Will Smith’s actions.
