Following Swara’s tweet, Mallika Dua agreed with her and called Noah jokes as ‘Shockingly unintelligent and tone deaf’. She tweeted, “Shockingly unintelligent & tone deaf What makes it sadder is that @Trevornoah cracked such a below average, shit joke. Something Russel Peters probably threw in the bin before his first open mic in life. If you’re going to be a racist comic than at least get the comic bit right.”

During a segment on the show, Noah mocked the situation between India and Pakistan. He said, “It would be the most entertaining war ever.”

He further commented, “Hope Indian and Pakistan don’t go to war. But if they did go to war, it would probably be the most entertaining war of all time, yeah. Because the Indian Soldiers would run out on the battlefield and that’d be like – *Stereotypical Indian Accent* Time for you to die *sings in hindi* (auro ki life difficult kar tu). It will also be the longest war of all time. Another Dance Number!”
