From ‘Chhod Kar’ To ‘C***d Kar’: Alexa’s Mistake Gets Twitter Laughing
Initially people assumed it was an issue with Saavn but people figured out that it was just Alexa being extra careful
Remember that Amazon advertisement where greats like cardi B and Rebel Wilson offer their voices for Alexa? Well, they would definitely be weirded about this recent, odd censorship incident.
Twitter user @vividbharti recently shared on the microblogging platform about how the word “chhodkar” in the song “Abhi na jao chhodkar” by Mohammed Rafi was censored and bleeped out because the Amazon PA took the word to mean something dirtier.
Here’s the Twitter thread that got the internet laughing:
