Comedian Abhishek Upmanyu is the latest internet personality who is bearing the brunt of social media after posting a simple reply to a Pakistani user on X. Amid the ongoing tensions between the two neighbouring countries following the devastating Pahalgam terror attack, Abhishek’s post did not sit well with netizens who drove him to deactivate his account. 

What made Abhishek Upmanyu deactivate his X account

It all started with a so-called poem shared by an X user attacking a Pakistani woman. The lines in the post reeked of profanity, which led to the reply of another Pakistani user who wrote, “Zero class. Abuses is not equal to humour. The whole world sees your country as this hub of rapists and rightfully so. This is 'funny' according to the average Indian. You lot deserve all the racism you're facing in the west.”
