Abhishek Bachchan walked out of an episode of the comedy show Case Toh Banta Hai after comedian Paritosh Tripathi made a comment about his father, Amitabh Bachchan.
The show, hosted by Riteish Deshmukh and featuring Varun Sharma and Kusha Kapila, involves celebrities defending themselves against playful accusations. However, it was later revealed that Abhishek was just playing along and pranking the comedian.
The incident happened when comedian Paritosh Tripathi introduced himself as a troll who makes fun of celebrities. During his segment, Tripathi joked about Amitabh Bachchan’s long arms. Abhishek Bachchan initially took offense, asking him to stop and confronting him for making a joke about his father.
Abhishek expressed that while he understands comedy, he felt it was wrong to involve his father in jokes. He emphasized that comedy should remain focused on him and not his father, stressing the importance of respect. When the director tried to calm him down, Abhishek insisted on speaking his mind, making it clear that he was not being unreasonable.
After walking out of the show, Abhishek later returned and revealed that it had all been a prank. Deshmukh and Tripathi had discussed the situation, with Tripathi clarifying that he never meant to upset Abhishek. When Abhishek came back, he hugged the comedian and playfully declared himself the boss of the trolling game.
Abhishek Bachchan was recently seen in I Want To Talk, a slice-of-life drama by Shoojit Sircar, which is currently in theaters. His upcoming project is Housefull 5, where he will star alongside Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh, Nargis Fakhri, Sonam Bajwa, and Fardeen Khan.
