Pandya Titled - Next Sanju

The latest episode of Koffee With Karan, hosted by Karan Johar (popularly known as KJo) is now on air. It features two star performers of Indian Cricket Team KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya. The episode has drawn lots of criticism from the Twitterverse for Pandya’s “misogyny”, “racism’ and “obnoxious comments”.

If you haven't watched or missed the episode and confused what's happening here we present you a brief overview for the same. As KJo spoke to the two young-guns about their personal lives, Hardik Pandya revealed about his meeting with his female friends at night-clubs and having "conversations". But Pandya seemed to focus more on how he directed more on their “watching” rather than communicating to them.

A thread on all the creepy, misogynist, racist, and problematic things Hardik Pandya said on Koffee With Karan:

1. KJo: Why don't you ask women's names at nightclubs?

HP: I like to watch and observe how they move. I'm little from the Black side so I need to see how they move.

Hardik Pandya also added further about his family for being 'cool' about Pandya's sexual activities or liveliness. Pandya narrated about a course he went to a party with his parents' company. There his parents questioned him about his “scene” with the girls there, to which he pointed to a few and said, “this one, this one and this one.”

Witnessing this kind of raw attitude from Pandya Twitterattis slammed their anger on Twitter.

“Misogynistic” and “Creepy”
Watching Koffee with Karan (or however you spell it) with Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul and the toxic masculinity and racism egged on by Karan Johar’s giggles are the reason why Indian men are encouraged to unapologetically misogynistic. Unfortunate!

Most of the tweets criticising Hardik Pandya’s comments and attitude towards women called him out as both misogynistic and creepy.

“Classless” Cricketer and KWK
Watching @koffeewithkaran, a show so entertaining and a mass favourite was a huge disappointment today. Mr Cool objectifying women around him seemed like a coffee affair passed away in few giggles. Sadly, He represents our National Team.#HardikPandya #koffeewithkaran

Some Twitterati not only expressed their disappointment with Hardik Pandya, but also with the show itself for having aired the episode.

Pandya After Sanju...
Watched the complete episode of #KoffeeWithCricketers. Hardik Pandya is so naive, insensitive and selfish that Raju Hirani must be preparing for Pandya's biopic.

And @sagarcasm winds the criticism up with this tweet. Hirani for Pandya!
