Anup Soni impressed by Crime Patrol-themed Will- Smith vs Chris Rock moment

Will Smith has been attracting flak for losing his cool and venting it out physically after Chris Rock's quipped 'Gi Jane 2' to refer to the former's wife Jada Pinkett Smith's baldness due to alopecia.

He could have avoided the attack had he heard Anup Soni's advice, as per the netizens. The episodes of Crime Patrol are famous, apart from the portrayal of real-life crime incidents, for Anup Soni's words of caution for the audiences. 

In a Twitter video, one could see Will Smith's infamous slap on Chris Rock, after which one of Anup's clips from the series played. The host says, "'Aise haalat me behtar ye hi hai ki insaan satark hokar, apne jazbaat ko kaaboo me rakhkar apne kadam peeche hataye aur apni zindagi ko ek nayi disha me modne ki koshish kare, sahi wakt, sahi kadam, satark rahe' to urge viewers to keep one's anger in control, take a step back even if one feels like taking such a step and take life into a new direction with it. 

Anup quipped, 'I knew this will happen...'

The post left netizens in splits and even actors like Vikaas Kalantri, Nikita Dutta and Anjana Sukhani laughed out over it.
