Krushna Abhishek has come into controversy for his comment on Rabindranath Tagore in an episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show. Bengali writer Srijato Bandyopadhyay accused Krishna of mocking Tagore. While writing a post on social media, he has demanded an apology from Krishna. Actually, while doing comedy in the episode, Krishna Abhishek had said 'Pachala Chalo Re' instead of 'Ekla Chalo Re', after which the people of Bengali society are very angry with the makers of the show.
Post by Bengali writer Srijato Bandyopadhyay Bengali writer Srijato Bandyopadhyay wrote a long note on his Facebook handle criticizing Krishna Abhishek. He wrote, the difference between humor and joke is a thin line, crossing which can sometimes prove dangerous. Often, people do not pay attention to whom they are joking about. In their quest to get high ratings and make people laugh, they forget where to draw the line.
Srijato Bandyopadhyay further said, 'In my view, the act done by Krishna Abhishek with the song Ekla Cholo Re has fallen far below the level of respect and humility. I am sure they will not have the courage to make such crude jokes on Ghalib, Kabir or Premchand, because if they do so, the show will be forced to close the next day.
The author further wrote, 'Bengali people are used to such jokes, so they can tell such jokes. That too in front of a Bengali actress Kajol, who kept laughing while sitting during this act.
Bongo speaking Mahasabha Foundation had sent a notice to the makers In this matter, Bongo Bhashi Mahasabha Foundation (BBMF) had also sent a legal notice to the makers of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. He was accused of insulting Rabindranath Tagore and the Bengali community. This notice was sent by BBMF Chairman Dr. Mandal through his legal advisor Nripendra Krishna Roy. The notice said that the great writer Rabindranath Tagore has been insulted in 'The Great Indian Kapil Show'. Due to this, not only the religious and cultural sentiments of Bengalis have been hurt, but the sentiments of Bengalis all over the world have also been hurt.
Makers of the show responded to the legal notice The makers of 'The Great Indian Kapil Show' had also responded to the legal notice. He had said that he had no intention of misrepresenting Tagore. Rather, The Great Indian Kapil Show is a comedy show purely made for entertainment. The show is parody and fiction, which is not intended to hurt the sentiments of any person or community.
Know what is the whole matter? Let us tell you that recently Kajol and Kriti Sanon became a part of The Great Indian Kapil Show to promote their film Do Patti. During this time, Krishna Abhishek had adopted the getup of Rabindranath Tagore. At the time of entry, he was seen imitating Rabindranath Tagore and singing his song 'Pachala Chalo Re' instead of 'Ekla Chalo Re'. He replaced the word Ekala (alone) with Pachala (with 5 people) in the song. He also said that there is danger in walking alone because the dogs follow. Ever since the show was streamed, many writers and people associated with the Bengali community have been protesting against it.
