Salman Khan says as a host you have to be sensitive, humor is above the belt and not below the belt

Salman Khan has said a show host should be sensitive towards his audience. The superstar expressed his perspectives during an event. The actor was inquired as to whether a should be careful with jokes. His perspectives were echoed by other guests including Varun Dhawan and Maniesh Paul also. They shared their perspectives hours after Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars.

When asked if a host should be careful with jokes, Salman said, “As a host, you have to be sensitive. Humor is above the belt and not below the belt.” Varun added, “They get offended and one has to be careful.”

Maniesh Paul, who frequently hosts reality shows and even hosted Salman Khan’s Da-Bangg Tour, said they try to “draw the line” but at times things get sensitive.  “Earlier, humour was khul ke (openly) and now things have become sensitive… Whenever I have been on stage, I have not offended anyone. It all depends on your sense of humor,” he said, adding, it is the duty of an artist to check what the writers have written in the script.
