Shivankit says,
Ravish is the only journalist out there who makes sense. The satire itself is very good. If you make a video on Arnab Goswami, he is already very loud and has no sense of humor. So it’s easy to make a dumb character even dumber but it’s very difficult to spoof a smart character like Ravish. So our struggle is that the man himself is very funny and has a great sense of sarcasm, how can we fool him?
