Abhishek Kumar Calls Out Samarth Jurel Over 'Viral Naukar' Joke: "My Family Was Hurt..."

A light-hearted joke has turned into a full-blown controversy in the television industry. 'Bigg Boss 17' fame Abhishek Kumar recently reacted after Samarth Jurel referred to him as his “naukar” during an interview. While Samarth appeared to comment in a humorous context, Abhishek has now revealed that the remark left his family deeply upset.

Samarth Jurel's Comment Sparks Debate:

The controversy began after a clip from Samarth Jurel's interview surfaced on social media and quickly went viral. During the conversation, Samarth was talking about his cooking skills and jokingly claimed that although he cooks well, Abhishek Kumar often ruins things.

Taking the banter a step further, Samarth referred to Abhishek as his “naukar” and joked that he had hired him on “advance payment.” He also humorously claimed that Abhishek worked for him, handled car-related tasks at Krushna Abhishek's home, and even served as Vicky Jain's driver.

While many viewers saw the comments as playful banter, others felt the remarks crossed a line.

Abhishek Says His Family Was Hurt:

Reacting to the viral clip, Abhishek Kumar took to social media and shared a note explaining why the comment did not sit well with him. The actor acknowledged that friendly teasing is common among close friends and co-stars, especially on reality and comedy shows.

Referring to their time together on 'Laughter Chefs', Abhishek said that jokes exchanged on the show were mutual and understood within the context of entertainment.

However, he stressed that comments made during an interview are perceived differently. Quoting his response, Abhishek wrote, “My Family Was Hurt.”

The actor added that he initially chose not to react publicly after watching the interview but later decided to speak up after seeing how deeply the statement had affected his family and relatives.

"There Is A Difference..."

Abhishek further explained that there is a significant difference between playful banter among friends and remarks that can impact a person's dignity. He stated that what works within a show's comic setup may not be appropriate in an interview setting.

He also expressed disappointment because he considers Samarth a friend and has always treated him with respect.

According to Abhishek, comments made on a public platform carry weight and can have consequences beyond entertainment.

From Rivals To Friends:

However, fans later witnessed a different side of their relationship on 'Laughter Chefs', where the duo appeared to have moved past their differences and developed a friendly rapport.

With the “naukar” remark now making headlines, fans are waiting to see whether Samarth Jurel responds to Abhishek Kumar's reaction and addresses the controversy publicly.
