The short clip features a segment where Vir is addressing the global issue of harassment towards women and the common stereotype of saying “she was asking for it.” Using comedy, Vir makes a strong point about the issue of the mindset most people have.
Here is the trailer:
Vir Das, speaking about the show said, “Losing It has been written on the basis of my experiences of travel, politics amongst other things. I’m excited to see what the audience’s response is when it releases next week. I’m hoping it gets the same love the audience gave Abroad Understanding.”
Losing It is set to stream on Netflix across 190 countries on December 11.
