Rajesh Kumar recreates viral speech of ‘Rosesh Sarabhai of Pakistan' Bilawal Bhutto; netizens say ‘Bharat momma ki jai'
The real Rosesh from Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, Rajesh Kumar, just dropped the most "iconic" video of the year -- a recreation of 'Rosesh of Pakistan' Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's viral speech. Bilawal Bhutto's speech in Pakistan's Parliament went viral, more because of HOW he said it and less because of what he said, making him an inspiration for millions of memes online. The speech, given after India's Operation Sindoor targeting terror sites in PoK and Pakistan, reminded many of Rosesh's dramatic style. Social media users joked about the resemblance. Since many online users compared the Pakistan leader to Rosesh, his oddball character from the sitcom Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, Rajesh said that the video was made 'on public demand'. Rajesh's Instagram video went viral in less than and has amassed over 1.3 million views so far. He posted the viral video alongside the caption: 'ON PUBLIC DEMAND…..welcome Hon Rosesh of Pakistan.' Netizens were left in stitches as Rajesh donned his 'Roshesh' hat for this 'hilarious' video. Social media users chanted 'Bharat momma ki jai!' in the Roshesh way in the comment section. 'Wow! This is going to be the greatest reel of all time!' a user said. A netizen joked that Rajesh should file a copyright claim on Bhutto. 'Uspe copyright claim dal do bhai.' 'This is hilarious,' a user said. Another added that the video was the best thing on the Internet for the day. 'I wasn't ready for this drop! Scrolling ends here. Nothing's topping this today!' Bilawal Bhutto Zardari is the son of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and President Asif Ali Zardari. The grandson of former Pakistan President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto also served as Pakistan's Minister of Foreign Affairs. He has been at his jingoistic best since the Pahalgam terror attack, which killed at least 26 people. After India had suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, he reportedly said, 'The Indus is ours and will remain ours - either our water will flow through it, or their blood.'

Zervaan, a theatre actor known on social media as 'Bunshah', made a spoof on the Pakistani leader. The video has gone viral with 4.5 million views. Zervaan's spoof video comes after online users started comparing Bilawal Bhutto Zardari to Rosesh, a funny character from the sitcom Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai.

Viral video: Pakistan's Bilawal Bhutto's speech evokes memories of Rosesh from Sarabhai vs Sarabhai
Fans are drawing comparisons between Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Rosesh, a character from the famous sitcom Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, after a video of Pakistan's former foreign minister went viral on social media. The footage, which shows a part of a speech given by Bhutti at the Pakistan National Assembly, has left social media in stitches. 'Roshesh from Sarabhai vs Sarabhai,' an X user wrote while sharing the video. Bilawal Bhutto gave the speech at the Parliament of Pakistan on May 7. The speech came after Operation Sindoor. An op launched by India targeting nine terrorist infrastructure sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir as a retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam attack. An individual wrote, 'Totally, I can see the resemblance.' Another added, 'New meme template.' A third posted, 'Such striking similarities. I was wondering where last I'd heard this exact accent.' A fourth remarked, 'Perfect caption.' Following the deadly Pahalgam attack on April 22 that claimed 26 lives, India suspended the Indus Waters Treaty as part of its five punitive actions against Pakistan. Soon after, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari made threatening remarks on April 25. 'I would like to stand here in Sukkur by the Indus and tell India that the Indus is ours and the Indus will remain ours, whether water flows in this Indus or their blood,' Zardari said while addressing a group of protesters. However, in May, he backtracked on his threatening bloodshed remarks and stated that Pakistan was open to peace with India. During an address at Pakistan's National Assembly, he said, 'If India wishes to walk the path of peace, let them come with open hands and not clenched fists. Let them come with facts and not fabrication. Let us sit as neighbours and speak the truth.'

Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai Film On The Cards? JD Majethia Says ‘Could've Been Made Earlier…'
Last Updated: JD Majethia was asked whether he plans to turn Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai into a film series, similar to what he did with Khichdi. Find out what he said! Producer JD Majethia is known for his successful comedy shows such as Khichdi, Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, among others. He recently made a surprising announcement of the movie Khichdi 3, leaving fans excited. In a recent interview, he was asked whether he also plans to turn Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai into a film series, similar to what he did with Khichdi. JD Majethia replied that there might have been a chance to make a film on Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai earlier, but the opportunity seems to have passed. He said that while there 'should be more' to the series, it's too late to make a film on it now. While speaking with Hindustan Times, JD Majethia shut down hopes for a Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai film. 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai ki film nahi banni chahiye. (A film on Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai should not be made). It could have been made earlier but not now. There should be more to that series too, but it's too late to make a film on that. I am not too sure, but we will wait and see," he said. Meanwhile, in the same interview, he also talked about the level of comedy going downhill. 'The overall level of comedy has gone down in our industry. You will find small gags and videos on social media, but the hunger to spend money to go watch something has reduced. You won't find any comedy that can become legendary today, as you used to until a few years earlier, and the reason is we don't have such talented crop of writers and actors for that," he said. Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, starring an ensemble cast of Satish Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Sumeet Raghavan, Rupali Ganguly, and Rajesh Kumar, remains one of the most beloved sitcoms in Indian television history. The first season aired from 2004 to 2006 on television, and has attained cult status thanks to its sharp wit, timeless humour and unforgettable characters. The show returned with a new season, 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai: Take 2' in 2017, and it was streamed on Hotstar. The story of the second season was set 11 years after the first season's conclusion.

JD Majethia: Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai ki film nahi banni chahiye
Producer JD Majethia has given successful comedy franchises like Khichdi, Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai and shows like Baa Bahoo Aur Baby to the Indian TV and film industry. Recently, he announced that he is coming with Khichdi 3 in 2027, but admits that comedies are going downhill in the industry. 'The overall level of comedy has gone down in our industry. You will find small gags and videos on social media, but the hunger to spend money to go watch something has reduced. You won't find any comedy that can become legendary today, as you used to until a few years earlier, and the reason is we don't have such talented crop of writers and actors for that,' he says. The producer adds, 'It's a very challenging genre. In non-fiction, you have some amazing people like Kapil Sharma, Sunil Grover and Kiku Sharda, but fiction is lacking. And in comedy, if you don't give the best, people won't come. Khichdi still instils that faith in people that if these iconic characters come together, it will be for something special. Some storylines may falter, but you will end up laughing out loud.' Having made Khichdi into a film series, ask him if he aims to do the same with Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai, considering the love it gets till date, and JD responds, 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai ki film nahi banni chahiye. It could have been made earlier but not now. There should be more to that series too, but it's too late to make a film on that. I am not too sure, but we will wait and see.' JD insists that comedy is dependent on the audience's connection, and asserts that their loyalty is 'fragile'. 'Even with big stars, if one film does well, other might not. So, you have to respect the audience loyalty. The Indian audience is such that even if a cricketer wins four world cups but then loses one to Pakistan, they will remember that. The people are sensitive and extremists in their love, so you have to try to give them the best always,' he says.
