According to NDTV, in his video named ‘Automatic Gadi’, a character played by Bhuvan Bam is looking for an automatic car. During a conversation, he uses innuendo to imply that the dealer traffics women. He asks his friend “Pahadan chalegi? (Will a model from hilly areas do).”
“पहाड़न चलेगी?”
ये आदमी मुझे शुरू से ही कभी जमा नहीं, लोगों में भेड़चाल है कि जैसा बाक़ी लोग देखते बोलते हैं उसे सराहा जाए और वैसा ही देखा या शेयर किया जाए। ये इंसान पहले अपने घर की माँ, बेटी और बहनों को किसी दलाल पास भेजे, बाक़ी समाज उसके बाद है। pic.twitter.com/cEXWLnRnJr— Ashish Nautiyal (@ashu_nauty) March 29, 2022
Several people online raised objections to Bam’s video stating that it was “vulgar” and a gross “objectification” of women. Some even demanded appropriate action to be taken against the comedian and his YouTube channel, which has over 23 million subscribers.
This is not humour – it’s vulgar misogynistic trash that objectifies women and in particular pahaadi women. https://t.co/zbCjl4Ealx

Request @sharmarekha Mam, to please make note of this content and take suitable action. “Kitna deti hai – kahan se leti hai” with reference to pahaadi or any woman is unacceptable and contributes to rape culture. https://t.co/jtVNn7aMdy

I was waiting for this. At least someone noticed the rubbish being served in BB’s video on the name of humour.

Such humour which is based on shock value and crass comments is very dangerous to the society. I hope @Bhuvan_Bam apologies.
You are a better content creator & singer.
You are witty enough to stoop to such content. https://t.co/CIK0KZ3Hnf— constant_gardner (@NostalgicDoon) March 31, 2022
Totally disgusting. Double entendre, x-rated jokes and dense-headed skits all in the name of humor is stale and sick.
Such guys should be publicly shamed.
Thanks @ashu_nauty for exposing such perverts. Hopefully @MinistryWCD notes. https://t.co/hTYxD6ZlLJ

Even the National Commission for Women took cognizance of the issue and said that the organization’s chairperson has requested Delhi Police to register an FIR against Bhuvan Bam.
@NCWIndia has taken cognisance. Chairperson @sharmarekha has written to @CPDelhi to register FIR & to take strict action in the matter. NCW has also written to Secy, Ministry of Electronics & IT to take appropriate action against the YouTube channel for violating dignity of women

Responding to the backlash that he received online, Bam apologized for his video and said he had no intention to hurt anyone.
I’m aware that a section in my video has hurt some people. I have edited it to remove that part. People who know me know I have utmost respect for women. I had no intention to hurt anyone. A heartfelt apology to everyone whose sentiments have been disregarded. @NCWIndia

However, on the other hand, several fans of Bhuvan Bam showered him with support. Many women, who have been following the comedian for years, claimed that Bam is incredibly respectful towards all people and that his humour is being taken out of context.
I wish @NCWIndia was as quick in resolving actual problems women face on a daily basis as it is in taking cognizance of outrage on social media. There are female comedians too who crack quite a lot of jokes violating dignity of women. Sabpe karo FIR fir. @Bhuvan_Bam par hi kyu pic.twitter.com/pYa3Eo6ShV
