Lyricist-screenwriter and ad guru Prasoon Joshi says his blood boils when he listens to "crass songs and lyrics".

"My blood boils. I feel frustrated and unhappy when I hear crass lyrics and crass songs. For entertainment, you can't compromise on anything," Joshi told IANS.

He shared that he likes his songs including 'Hawan karenge', 'Masti ki paatshala' and 'Genda Phool'. "Everybody dances to them without compromising on anything."

Joshi also feels it's the audience who can bring a change if they refuse to accept "crass music".

"I believe the audience has to make the choice. I think they have the power. The day they will start rejecting all these crass things, you will see the change," the 46-year-old said.
