Have you ever wondered why insults and swearwords are directed at mothers and sisters and not to the people who offended you in the first place? Babumoshai Bandookbaaz star Nawazuddin Siddiqui offers a way out of that predicament in a video for YouTube channel Blush’s So Basically series.
No maas and behens were harmed in the making of the video. Siddiqui, whose August 25 release ran into ccensor trouble before securing a certificate against minor cuts, offers a list of insults from A to Z without once naming a sister or a mother. These range from the internet savvy “Facebook messages ka other folder” and “11 digit ka OTP” to the more literary “Queue ka ‘eu’”.
