Recently, Abhishek Bachchan appeared on Riteish Deshmukh's show, but things took a turn for the worse when a joke was cracked about the former's father, Amitabh Bachchan. Abhishek stormed off the set.
Abhishek Bachchan, who has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons, recently appeared on Riteish Deshmukh's talk show, Case Toh Banta Hai. During the fun-filled conversation, the actor opened up about his family, including their tradition of picking names that began with the letter 'A.' Not only that, Abhishek was also spotted blushing hard when discussing the possibility of having a second baby with his beloved wife, Aishwarya Rai. However, things took a drastic twist when the I Want To Talk actor stormed off the set after comedian, Paritosh Tripathi made a joke about his father and legendary actor, Amitabh Bachchan.
Abhishek Bachchan recently appeared on Riteish Deshmukh's show, Case Toh Banta Hai. The actor looked at ease throughout the episode, cracking jokes with the host and laughing heartily. However, things took a sudden twist after comedian, Paritosh Tripathi made an entrance.
Paritosh was playing a troll who targets popular celebs on social media. While in character, the comedian cracked a joke about Abhishek's father and veteran actor, Amitabh Bachchan's famously long arms. However, the joke didn't seem to land well with Abhishek, who looked visibly upset and interrupted the performance to voice his distaste.
Abhishek Bachchan immediately intervened in Paritosh Tripathi's skit, asking him to stop. The Guru actor asked the comedian to stop as jokes involving family members, especially parents, were inappropriate and tasteless. Abhishek can be quoted as saying:
"I’m all game for myself. I understand comedy, but let’s not bring parents into it. Mere tak rakhiye na, aap pitaji pe wo… Main thora sensitive ho jata hu. Wo mere pita hai, acha nahi lagta. Ussi ko leke main bol raha hu ki thori si izzat deni chahiye hum log ko. Comedy ke isme itna bhi nahi karna chahiye hum log ko, hum log kya hai na aaj kal beh jaate hai."
Abhishek had called for the show director as well, claiming that the jokes were getting 'a bit too much now.' However, as the director tried to keep the situation from escalating, Abhishek got even more agitated and finally stormed off the set. He can be quotes as saying:
"It's okay. Let me say what I have to say—I'm not a fool."
Comedian, Paritosh Tripathi looked visibly distressed after Abhishek Bachchan left the stage. He could be seen asking cast members, Riteish Deshmukh and Varun Sharma whether it was the joke about Amitabh's hands that triggered the actor. Riteish then explained that to Abhishek, his father was everything. Paritosh vehemently agreed that everyone felt the same.
Paritosh got even more upset as he pointed out to Riteish and Varun that this was his first meeting with Abhishek. In a dramatic twist, the Dhoom 2 actor then returned to the stage, and as Paritosh looked on nervously, Abhishek surprised him by saying:
"Kya bola tha maine? Iss line mein main tera baap hu. Boss, troll aise karte hai."
Following this, the audience and castmates were left in splits of laughter while Paritosh couldn't help but shake his head in disbelief. On the work front, Abhishek was most recently seen in Shoojit Sircar's I Want To Talk. While the film failed to rake in the big bucks at the box office, Abhishek's performance was lauded by critics and audiences alike.
