She further adds a humorous twist, saying the vibrator belongs to her father. Later, when her mother accidentally switches it on by throwing it, Swati quips that it's actually her son-in-law's. (the vibrator)
The joke has sparked outrage, with many accusing Swati Sachdeva of promoting obscenity in the name of comedy.
