Payal said, "Very very good, people cannot just make fun of anybody. She has a hair loss condition. Humour has a limit." She further added, "Ye comedians hote hain na, ye stand up comedians.

Munawar then reacted, "Oscars me hinsa allowed hai." Payal replied, "It is not violence at Oscars if you slap someone. If someone made fun of your wife, you can slap them.

He then said, "Payal apne pe mat lo, do not do this. You do not know." The actress then apologised to him.
