Amid the ongoing military tensions between India and Pakistan, stand-up comedian Gaurav Gupta took a lighthearted dig at a Pakistani fan who attended his show during his US-Canada tour. The tour began on May 30 with a show in Atlanta, followed by another in Chicago. During his act, he asked the Pakistani fan to recite the Hanuman Chalisa and joked that the fan was a daring person to attend his show despite the recent cross-border tensions and India's 'Operation Sindoor.' PM Narendra Modi Meets Family of Pahalgam Terror Attack Victim Shubham Dwivedi in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur.

The Pakistani fan, on the other hand, took the lighthearted remarks sportingly and actively engaged with Gaurav Gupta during the exchange.  The comedian asked him whether he understood his Hindi jokes. When the fan nodded, Gaurav told him, "Toh tumhe samajh me nahi aata nahi milega tumhe. Itne saalon se keh rahe hain hum nahi milega, phir aajate ho tum," (So you don't understand that you'll never get it. We've been telling you the same for so many years), referencing India's longstanding Kashmir issue with Pakistan. Operation Sindoor Proof of India’s ‘Decisive Leadership’ Under PM Narendra Modi, Says JP Nadda.
