Stand-up
comedian
Abijit
Ganguly
has
accused
the
makers
of
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show
for
lifting
a
joke
(Plagiarism)
from
a
video
that
he
did
around
a
week
ago.
He
even
shared
his
and
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show's
video
links.
He
took
to
Facebook,
"Important
-
Lifting
of
Joke/Plagiarism
by
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show:
Please
share
this
so
that
it
reaches
the
folks
at
The
Kapil
Sharma's
Show
or
Sony
Entrainment
Television.
I
had
released
a
stand-up
bit
on
Youtube
and
FB
on
'having
an
elder
brother'
around
two
weeks
back.

Stand-up
Comedian
Abijit
Ganguly's
Joke
Copied!
"One
of
the
jokes
in
the
routine
is
an
observational
joke
on
how
from
from
Kapil
Dev
to
Zaheer
Khan
(citing
some
other
names,
such
as
Harbhajan
Singh,
Srinath,
Kumble)
all
successful
Indian
bowlers
have
been
co-incidentally
younger
brothers,
leading
to
the
punch
of
‘Do
you
realise
how
weird
it
is
that
India's
bowling
strength
depends
on
the
fact
that
elder
brothers
never
let
younger
brothers
ever
bat'."

Abijit
Ganguly
Says...
"I
have
been
doing
this
bit
for
over
three
years
now
and
most
people
who
have
ever
been
to
my
show
in
the
last
three,
would
have
heard
this.
And
modesty
aside,
many
have
told
me
that
this
was
one
of
their
favourite
jokes."

Abijit's
Friend
Informed
That
His
Joke
Has
Been
Lifted
In
TKSS!
"Yesterday,
at
around
10:30
PM,
I
suddenly
got
a
message
from
a
friend
on
FB
who
said
that
my
younger
brother
bowler
joke
had
been
lifted
in
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show.
Someone
also
tweeted
out
to
me
informing
me
of
the
same."

Abijit
Crosschecked
As
Well...
"I
was
genuinely
flustered
but
still
wanted
to
check
before
drawing
any
conclusions.
Having
checked
online,
I
am
disappointed
and
gutted
to
see
that
they
have
indeed
done
that."
Kiku
Sharda
Trying
To
Use
His
Joke!
"There
I
saw
Kiku
Sharda
trying
to
use
my
joke
(and
honestly
making
a
mess
of
it)
while
Sidhu
and
others
laughed
out
in
their
usual
hysterical
manner
as
every
cell
in
my
body
burnt
with
rage."
Two
People
Can
Have
Same
Thought
But...
"I
understand
that
it's
possible
for
two
people
to
have
the
same
thought,
but
this
is
not
that.
The
fact
that
right
two
weeks
after
I
released
this
bit
(which
got
a
decent
amount
of
traction),
they
just
happen
to
use
it
while
awkwardly
trying
to
use
the
same
examples
as
premise
makes
it
clear
what
has
happened."
Abijit
Upset
With
TKSS
Makers!
"A
stand-up
bit
takes
a
lot
of
effort
to
write
and
fine-tune.
As
comedians
we
strive
for
originality
and
after
having
made
all
the
effort
in
coming
out
with
a
unique
observation
and
building
a
joke
around
it,
when
something
like
this
happens
it
just
deflates
you."
Abijit
further
wrote,
"We
comedians
make
a
living
from
our
self-written
jokes.
It's
what
I
depend
on
to
run
my
house.
When
you
lift
a
joke
I
have
written,
you
steal
from
me.
It
is
as
good
as
stealing
my
wallet,
my
watch,
laptop
or
just
a
goddam
robbery
at
my
home."
"No
Kapil
Sharma,
plagiarism
is
not
OK.
It
is
not
OK
to
do
this.
It
is
not
OK
to
lift
a
man's
joke
and
do
it
on
national
TV
where
millions
will
now
think
you
goddam
wrote
that
joke,
and
if
I
am
to
ever
perform
it,
it
comes
off
as
I
lifted
it."
"I
am
feeling
angry,
and
helpless.
I
just
hope
there
can
be
enough
noise
around
this,
so
that
it
doesn't
happen
anymore
with
anyone
else."
Here
Is
Abijit's
FB
Post:
It
has
to
be
seen
what
the
makers
and
Kapil
Sharma
has
to
say
about
Abijit's
claim!
Kapil
Sharma
has
been
hitting
the
headlines
for
wrong
reasons
because
of
his
fight
with
Sunil
Grover.
Pos
this
fight,
Sunil
and
other
comedians
(Ali
Asgar
and
Chandan
Prabhakar)
have
stopped
shooting
for
the
show.
The
show's
ratings
have
dropped
badly
and
there
are
reports
that
Kapil
has
been
given
an
ultimatum
to
improve
the
ratings.
