Gullu Butt

Published October 22, 2014

WHILE surfing TV channels recently I saw Gullu Butt on one of the local channels giving an interview. The host was asking all sorts of questions, including his personal life and his marriages.

I was shocked to see that the host was trying to portray him as a hero, talking about the inclusion of the word ‘gullu’ in the Oxford Dictionary.

It is sad to watch such talk shows. There should be certain criteria for an interview on TV channels.
