Ah, the internet, where your past mistakes are forever etched into the digital ether, waiting to resurface at the worst possible moment. Comedian Tanmay Bhat, known for his wit, irreverence, and more recently, his impressive weight loss transformation, is learning this lesson the hard way. While everyone was applauding his newfound fitness, the dark side of the internet decided to dig up some skeletons—old tweets, to be precise.
And let's just say, those tweets did not age well. A post shared by Tanmay Bhat (@tanmaybhat) You know the drill: when you’re a celeb, your past is never really in the past. Tanmay’s cringeworthy tweets, which made tasteless jokes about kids and religion, have now resurfaced, and Twitter (or X, as we’re calling it these days) is having a field day.
Sure, freedom of speech exists, but netizens are quick to point out that freedom comes with consequences. One particularly scathing tweet summed it up perfectly, "The Tanmay Bhatt tweets issue is a reminder that even as free speech absolutist (as I believe I am), one must accept that there are practical limits to free speech. Technically his tweets aren't hate speech.
Neither are they threats. Nor slander. But they are fucking SICK .
..!!!" Ouch.
Imagine getting roasted this hard by someone who claims to be a free speech advocate. The Tanmay Bhatt tweets issue is a reminder that even as free speech absolutist (as I believe I am), one must accept that there are practical limits to free speech. Technically his tweets aren't hate speech.
Neither are they threats. Nor slander. But they are fucking SICK.

Multiple people associated with AIB have a history of being problematic and those aren’t even recent tweets—what else did you guys even expect? AIB got dissolved for a reason, remember?" Talk about hitting him while he’s down.

Kyunki I'm seeing tweets only about him since morning ke kaise woh patla ho gaya. I never liked this guy and I don't like the fact that he is stil relevant. pic.
twitter.com/H7YYCjyYnp — shruti rajput🐉 (@_vibe_sage) August 24, 2024 It’s almost like a script for a dark comedy—Tanmay climbs back into the spotlight with his new, slimmer physique, only for his old, poorly-aged jokes to drag him back into controversy. Karma? Maybe.
A lesson in “think before you tweet”? Definitely. As the fire rages on in the comment sections, Tanmay's silence has been deafening. While fans debate whether or not he'll address the situation (apology video incoming, anyone?), one thing is clear: the internet never forgets.
So, before you tweet that questionable joke, just remember—it could come back to haunt you when you're finally living your best life..
