&lt;p id=&quot;p_1&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Padmavati&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Padmaavat&lt;/em&gt;, or whatever new names for the movie the CBFC comes up with to&amp;nbsp;appease the outraged Rajput mobs, one thing that we can all agree upon is that the whole controversy has been blown out of proportion. Writer, actor, lyricist and stand-up comic Varun Grover, in&amp;nbsp;a&amp;nbsp;hilarious new set, retells the story of &amp;ldquo;Padmaavat&amp;rdquo;, written by the 16th century Sufi poet Malik Muhammad Jayasi, which&amp;nbsp;revolves around an oppressive ruler, his beautiful daughter, a WhatsApp-like pet parrot and a bunch of testosterone-fuelled rulers fighting among each other to claim the princess.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_2&quot;&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/xwihPlmHQlA&quot; width=&quot;690&quot; height=&quot;388&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_3&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot; href=&quot;https://www.dailyo.in/variety/uidai-aadhaar-bangalore-telecom-companies-supreme-court/story/1/21832.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Also read:&amp;nbsp;That awkward moment when senior UIDAI official's SIM card is deactivated for 'non linking' with Aadhaar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p id=&quot;p_4&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #3366ff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;iframe src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/hEvXDSQlAF4&quot; width=&quot;680&quot; height=&quot;399&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
