BBC correspondent Karishma Vaswani made headlines after her interview with John Cleese, who left angrily disgruntled. The actor and comedian said that he was doing an interview with the BBC to talk about his live performances in Singapore and Bangkok. However, the topic of the interview turned to the ‘dismissal culture’.
John then accused Karishma of trying to portray him as “old fashioned”. He tweeted: “he then asked an unrelated question, clearly trying to portray me as old-fashioned, uncaring, and hurtful.” He further added: “Karishma had no interest in arguing with me. She only wanted the role of prosecutor. The BBC needs to train her again.”
