Comedian Vidushi Swaroop's set on 'prostitution' leaves internet users divided

Stand-up comedian Vidushi Swaroop is in the news lately as her set on prostitution has left internet users divided. A snip from her comedy set is going viral on the internet, in which, she is heard calling prostitution a "cool profession".

After this, several people started calling her out and said that it is not funny and rather it is insensitive. However, some social media users pointed out that people should watch the full set before coming to the conclusion.

Poet Kumar Vishwas also showed his disapproval and wrote, "In fact, this is not only absurd but also inhuman and cruel. This insensitive joke is just a glimpse of today's so-called stand-up presentations that constantly make fun of vulgar and cultural values. It is fortunate that no male presenter did this cheap thing; otherwise, all the commissions would have woken up. Shame on those who laughed."

It is worth noting that Vidushi uploaded the video of her standup comedy show on 'prostitution' two months ago. The video has so far managed to garner more than 4 lakh views.

Some internet users commented on her YouTube video and said that this is what a dark comedy looks like and she is addressing the childhood trauma of people.
