Stand-up star Abhishek Upmanyu just vanished from X (formerly Twitter), and no, it wasn’t for a digital detox or wellness retreat. The guy got torched online after responding to a Pakistani user in the middle of a serious India-Pakistan flare-up—and it blew up faster than a meme about Ranveer’s latest outfit.
Here’s the scoop: It all started when an X user dropped a crude post targeting a Pakistani woman. Yikes. Another Pakistani user clapped back, dragging Indian culture into the mix and calling out “rape culture” and “racism.” Harsh words, no filters.
The comedian, known for his dry humor and massive fanbase, simply replied “Yup” to the Pakistani user’s rant. That one-word response? It lit the fuse. The internet didn’t just roast him—it charred him.

According to reports, netizens went ballistic. The pitchforks came out. Comments slammed him for “betraying the country,” “siding with haters,” and—wait for it—“being blind for validation.” One angry post read, “Ashamed to ever think you were good.” Brutal.
This all comes after the tragic April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, where 26 tourists were killed in Kashmir—making tensions sky-high and national sentiment ultra-sensitive.
As first reported by Mid-Day, Abhishek couldn’t take the heat and poof—his X account disappeared faster than your leftover pizza during IPL night.
Look, celebs know social media is a battlefield these days. One “yup” and you’re public enemy number one. But if you’re a public figure, especially during politically-charged moments, even silence is louder than a mic drop.
