Waseem Badami marked Youm-e-Tashakkur on ARY News by mocking Indian media alongside Shafaat Ali and other performers. They copied Indian anchors like Arnab Goswami and Maj. Gaurav Arya, showing how dramatic and war-crazy their reporting was during recent tensions.
With props like dummies of Arnab and Gen. Bakshi, they recreated scenes of Indian news shows, including talks about taking over Karachi and hyping up war. The parody exposed how bizarre and over-the-top Indian coverage looked during four-day standoff.
Public found the roast hilarious, with even Indians admitting it was spot-on. One wrote, “I’m Indian but this is too funny,” while another said, “This roast is better than SNL.” Social media flooded with praise for the parody, calling out warmongering journalism.
