Sahir Lodhi is at it again. Stirring up controversy for how he treats contestants<\/a> on his show. This wouldn’t be the first time, but this time some Netizens are demanding that Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority get involved.<\/p>\n

In a recent episode of his game show, two contestants were competing in the semi-finals for a poetry stand-off. When one of the contestants iterated a verse by John Elia, Sahir Lodhi raised a question about the poetry.<\/p>\n

Even the judges voiced doubts about whether the stanza was correct and indeed the work of Urdu poet John Elia. However, rather than Google-ing it and clearing the air, they spent well over a minute trying to strong-arm the contestant, asking him;<\/p>\n

“What does that even mean?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An effort was not made to determine the accuracy but Sahir Lodhi was rather rude towards the young man.<\/p>\n

One Twitter user even called this ill-treatment, bullying. While physical bullying often catches the eye of the public, verbal bullying is often wept aside. Gaslighting and having people doubt the accuracy of something they know is right, is just one example.<\/p>\n
