There are a lot of memes being made on ‘man-hater’ Sakshi Jha. I just have a request for my ‘menz’ — just be kind to her, man. At the end of the day, it’s Latent.

Former Roadies judge Raghu Ram claims he’s not ashamed of the shouting and cursing he did for years on the reality show. Now that he’s a father to a five-year-old boy, Rhythm, he admits he’s thought about his son watching Roadies and what he’d think of his father. He’d let him shape his own thoughts and views — the only exception is that he wouldn’t want him to be religious. “I’m not ashamed of what I said. I’d like him to know that. In fact, I’ve written a book also, in which the language is colourful. I’d like him to read that. I want him to understand that like smoking, drinking, and sex, language and the kind of words you use are a choice. I didn’t learn it from my father. The world will teach him. He’d choose his own language. It wouldn’t come from me,” said Raghu. Raghu then confessed that the only expectation from his son is that he’s not religious. “I’d be disappointed. I’d talk to him about it. We’re science guys,” …

Raghu Ram‘s viral video from the first season of Indian Idol, where he auditioned and got into a heated argument with judges Anu Malik, Farah Khan, and Sonu Nigam after getting rejected still does rounds on social media. In fact, the actor-host is also known for his angry outbursts and loud rants on television. In a recent podcast with Two Girls & Two Cups, he recalled the old clips and shared his side of the story behind them. He also opened up about people judging him for being an atheist. During the conversation, Raghu cited an example of his atheism to explain the different between feminist (someone who supports equal rights for women) and feminazi (man-hater). “I am an atheist. Atheism is not believing, I don’t hate God, that’s called an anti-theist. Similarly, feminazis are not feminists, they are misandrists, but they spoil the name of feminists by calling themselves that,” he said. The hosts then asked the actor why he has an image of getting angry on television. They also revisited the viral video …

Former Roadies judge Raghu Ram has claimed that women are the root cause of some of men’s mental and physical illnesses. He even goes on to say that so many men die of heart attacks after the age of 60, and some even die by suicide, because it all boils down to the kind of women choose to be in relationships with. He even recounted how he came across some women on his popular reality show who were even more aggressive than men. His contentious comments came on a podcast and left the hosts also shocked. “There were some women in Roadies that our ears turned red, smoke came out, and fell on the floor. I was taking notes from them. Their decibel levels and language… when girls get down to it. Girls are not gentlemen. Even men are fighting, there’s still a limit. Women don’t have that limit. They get so screechy and what they say is very hurtful. We get very scared,” said Raghu. “Girls are a huge problem because they may say …
