How do comedians take insults? They often turn it into a joke, but do they feel bad about it? Of course, they do.
Known for his spontaneity, comic sense, and presence of mind, Maniesh Paul is one of the best anchor/TV presenters we have in India currently. Hailed as Sultan of Stage, Paul recently revealed the time when he felt embarrassed and insulted after Akshay Kumar shouted “chup kar” at him during a show.

The incident took place when Akshay Kumar was walking off the stage after receiving an award. This is when Maniesh asked him, “Akshay sir ek dialogue to bol dijiye (at least say a dialogue).” This is when Akki turned around and said, “Chup kar” in a stern voice.

“I started sweating at this. My mother had also come for the first time to see my show.
“I was so embarrassed that beizzati hogayi (I’ve been insulted),” Maniesh Paul told Humans Of Bombay. He said he knew it was either the end of his career or the beginning.
He decided to follow Akshay to his seat despite the fact he told him not to. “I started telling him how he insulted me in front of my mother. I said I was just asking him for tips on acting. Our conversation just went to another level and everyone was in splits,” he said.
