Actor-comedian Vir Das, known for being quirky, frank and vocal about his thoughts and opinions, has taken a dig at some of the country's burning issues -- the Sheena Bora case and FTII logjam -- in a video.

Vir shared the video on Thursday as "Talking Sh*t", the first episode of his channel "Vir Das' POTCAST".

He has spoken out about hot topics such as the current Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) row, the Sheena Bora murder mystery, the meat ban in Mumbai and more.

"The 1st stupid episode of VirDas' POTCAST, Today's Pot: Indrani, FTII, MeatBan & More https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyVmbq2mqbk ?Watch & RT/SHARE!#DasPotcast," he tweeted.

Besides being a comedian and actor, Vir has also started his own clothing line, offering quirky designs. He also owns a production house named "Weirdass Comedy" and is a band member of Alien Chutney.
