Actor Abhishek Banerjee faces identity crisis over name mix-up with writer friend for Paatal Lok Season 2; says, “There are two Abhishek Banerjees in Bollywood—one writes, the other acts”

Actor Abhishek Banerjee is currently facing an identity crisis due to sharing his name with his close friend and writer, Abhishek Banerjee. This has led to the actor being wrongly credited for work he didn’t do, specifically writing episodes of Paatal Lok Season 2.

The actor has addressed the mix-up with a mix of amusement and exasperation. Years ago, during their struggling days, he had joked with his friend, “You should really think about changing your name. The day I become famous, people will think I’ve written all your stuff.” He didn’t know his words would one day come true.

Let’s set the record straight: while the actor Abhishek Banerjee can bring characters to life on screen, he admits that his writing skills are… let’s just say, non-existent. “If I ever wrote something, it’d probably get rejected faster than my first audition,” he quipped.

On the other hand, writer Abhishek Banerjee is a creative genius, tirelessly crafting stories that audiences love. The actor insists that his friend deserves full credit for his work, and not just because of their shared name. “Trust me, if something’s well-written, it’s definitely him,” he says with a laugh.

In closing, the actor made a plea to the world: “There are two Abhishek Banerjees in Bollywood—one writes, the other acts. Let’s not confuse the two. And please, give the writer Abhishek his due credit. He’s earned it!”

So, here’s hoping the media and critics get it right next time. Until then, both Abhisheks will continue thriving—in their own lanes!
