An old stand-up comedy clip featuring comedian Aishwarya Mohanraj has resurfaced on social media, reigniting discussions around humour, accountability and the limits of satire. The clip has gained renewed attention amid recent controversies involving comedians Pranit More and Madhur Virli, with many users debating whether all comedians are being held to the same standards.The video, originally aired on Comicstaan, has been widely circulated on X, where users have questioned what they perceive as "selective outrage" when it comes to controversial jokes. Its resurgence comes at a time when several comedians are facing criticism for remarks made during past and recent performances.In the clip, Mohanraj speaks about the birth of her younger brother

and her mother's reaction to having a son."When my brother was born, my mother cried a lot. My mother wanted to cut off his private part, but the shameless nurse didn't let her do it. But as a woman, I'll fulfill her dream. When I have a son, I'll surely chop off his private part," she says in the video.

The joke triggered strong reactions online, with many social media users drawing parallels to recent cases involving other stand-up comics. Several argued that if newer jokes are being scrutinised, older performances should also be examined through the same lens.At the same time, a section of users criticised the joke itself, saying the remarks were deeply problematic and should not be excused as comedy or satire.The discussion follows the recent controversy surrounding comedian Pranit More, who faced backlash after audience member Himanshu Jangra shared a story involving a plate of biryani worth Rs 370.Separately, comedian Madhur Virli recently issued a public apology after an old video containing jokes related to rape and murder resurfaced online. In his statement, Virli admitted the content was inappropriate and expressed regret over making those remarks.With debates over free speech, humour and responsibility continuing to dominate online conversations, social media users are increasingly revisiting archival stand-up clips. The resurfaced Aishwarya Mohanraj video has now emerged as another focal point in the ongoing debate over whether comedians should be assessed by today's standards or judged within the context in which their material was originally performed.
