Its fredom of speech and shoaib has right of personal expressions.

Its reality that Shoaib says.

He wants fame and regular contract with Indian media...chose the shortest way.

He think its a joke to mocking Pakistan. But he forgot with out Pakistan he is nothing !!

What wrong he did? This is just comedy. Enjoy!!

Look who's talking, Shoaib Akhtar is full of problems & better for him if he stays there only. What a shame.

looooser he is

Learn to enjoy jokes

People in pak just want to vent their frustration on someone after the dismal performance so far in the world cup. I am pretty sure if umar sharif had made the same joke about the age of our players, everyone would have laughed out loud. Shoaib is just an outspoken person. whats wrong with that.

what can one say, one always try for the greener pastures.

@kapil really?!? what happened to this freedom when an indian woman tweeted that Pakistani's are better looking on the day of the india Pakistan match and your entire nation went crazy. some threatened to kill her and even rape her.

The report got it right: coupled with his non-stop, uninhibited and self-righteous bombardment of Pak team, this was another low step. These are his team mates he is talking about. His "jokes" certainly felt distasteful and overly appeasing an Indian audience. Pathetic!

@KhalidS its not about the joke. its about appearing on an indian program and then making that joke.

Remember it was a comedy show and even Shoib had taunted Harbajan for telling only Pakistani Player's jokes

@KAPIL i still remember when Shoaib made mockery of sachin and indian fans and media went mad... i wish indians had played the freedom of speech card then!!

Come on, it was a comedy show and Shoaib hasn't said anything derogatory. He even asked Harbhajan to bring out comic incidents of Indian team as well.

I don't understand why people are becoming so judgmental now a days. it was a light comedy and it is not supposed to be taken so seriously .you should just laugh it off...i don't think (at least from the video what i saw) he denigrated anyone ( except making fun of some one'e poor English). at last @Nadeem F. Paracha I have been one of your biggest fan..feel so disappointed to see your reaction...

Shoiab should say sorry if it has heart his fans in Pakistan......but it was just a comedy show...Pakistani fans should show a big heart......

I am no fan of Shoaib akther but he is entitled to comment on the sad paki team.Dont forget he is making his living in India.

have big heart it just a game and comedy show

This show is watched by everyone in the sub-continent including Pakistanis, Indians and Bangladeshis across the globe; to think that Indian public wants to listen to insults of Pak players is totally erroneous and untrue. Pakistani cricketing legends are revered & respected by most Indians. There are so many clippings of shows, events where Indian players make fun of each other. The public is ofcourse interested in knowing what happens on the ground; after the match etc. Also, these are happy memories of the past that Shoaib is telling which everyone enjoys. Why does the Pakistani public take it in a wrong way? N to keep saying "dushman mulk mai kyu bola? yaha bolte"etc. People should realize that even if Shoaib would have said this on Pakistani channels or shows; videos will be available on youtube/dailymotion and Indians will watch it. Hypocrisy of the highest order by those who are criticising Shoaib! India mai tau Sachin k upar bi kitne saare jokes hote hai serials, films, events aur award functions mai. Its taken in light sense and people should have good sense of humor. I always thought Punjabis have a great sense of humor (both side of border*) and disappointed to read and see all this criticism on Shoaib.

I watched that episode her in UK and i found it funny and justified. He was a dabangg player and that is what the Pakistani team lacks. It was funny and enjoyable. The Bhajji track on the inzimam interview was hilarious. What was suprising is that he didnt sit next to woman, he sat at end. His wife must be keeping a watch.

why is the media is quite. Good issue to at least sell some hot news on all the Media Channels.

Finally, his true side has actually been shown!

This show is not even funny. That sardar ji in the middle laughs at anything. Its freedom of speech for Akhtar but the fact is, Indians would never mock their country in Pakistan. Never.

The Video above is not at all offensive.

So it is all good to rip the team up at home, but not in the neighborhood. Give us a break, it is high time we start changing the way we think. Just because he was on an Indian show it becomes condemn-able, but all the local Pakistani TV channels hosting these same so called 'heroes,' blasting the team to the extent of getting overly personal, was it acceptable? All we like to do ranting for one reason or the other. Really need to come out of your fantasy land and start thinking positive about life and the surroundings.

@Balram Sharma just like Indians did when shoaib said Sachin was afraid of him.

@Faraz Did Shoiab say that during a comedy show? Wake up ...because of people like you Pakistan is in this situation today.....

He add to his own age along with the three gentleman to make a total of 150 :).

Shoaib has let everyone down no doubt about that, its disgraceful Apart from that in our country the standard of cricket dicussion programs is somewhat poor , the critics are too harsh with words , void of any technical point perhaps settling old scores. The approac in unbalanced , some editor oversight is required may that too much to ask

Well done Shoaib atleast u have guts to say the truth pcb is being run by bunch of corrupt jokers.

@ga - Very true.

Cricketers, Actors, Singers and other common people of India and Pakistan share normal relations. Pak should not see blasphemy or treachery in every action. Shoib Aktar and Harbajan were really enjoying on the show.

I never heard any Indian complain or Pakistani gloat when on the same show Gavaskar told a story about Miandad and Jadeja about Akram and Moin. In both stories they made fun of Indian cricket. Why does it hurt when Shoaib is doing the same thing. Chill it is just comedy.

what a shame.

funny video..i din't find it offensive at all. Others will also have a good laugh if they take Indians as humans rather than just 'enemies'.

Relax it was just a comedy show. Both sides were made fun of. I loved the funny side of Shoaib bhai.

Well here is the thing, India has now tons of money and people will say things for money. Unfortunately, the quality of cricket has really gone down with india taking charge of world cricket. But that is what we have, may be time to look into football or some other sports.

Its, just joke, let him enjoy, he very sincere man,

@kapil there is different between freedom of speech and insulting someone. It is very famous saying "Your liberty ends where my nose begins"

Leave the sell out there..its where he belongs..

Shoaib should be given Indian Citizenship....

Shoaib should be brought to the legal authorities to punish for such a inhuman, non patriotic act. He assumes himself a great player without recalling the punishment he was given by the Indian batsmen, especially from Sachin. He is giving such a non sense remarks about his national players reflecting his arrogance. He should be banned from appearing in any TV show in Pak. Stupid guy!

had you been a good bowler..India would have asked you for bowling tips..instead your only invited on comedy shows..what does that suggest..

The other day i watched a video where umar shareef is making a mock dua for the team. And the audience was bursting with laughter. What do the muslims say about this act. Please no double standards.

@kapil , I can fully understand your reasons for justifying his cheap comedy act, please do one thing keep this personality there because you know there is already lot of pollution in Pakistan we would not want to add to the already polluted air.

@Rizwan , is your comment also a joke or are you serious?

@Shivaji I 100% agree with u. Guys just a joke

People in Pakistan... take a deep breath and relax. One guy cannot ruin or enhance reputation of a country. A country is much bigger than all this. Pakistanis try to attach country pride with everything. He made a joke and take it like that. Laugh it off or ignore it but for god's sake don't make it a prestige point. Take a chill pill

Pakistanis have to come out this childish mindset that they are insulted over trivialities of life. He has not done any wrong just having clean fun. Let us do it more both India team and Pakistan.

dear pakistani friends, Shoaib did no wrong, tht was just a comedy show and he had targeted the players individually not Pakistan cricket team as whole, and they talked abt indian players too so need not to wory just enjoy the shoe and wish better relations.

Thora zyada ho gaya waisay...!! Joke must be funny, not hurting or heart breaking.

I am sure there will be stories regarding him too and someday somebody will be there to pull his leg. And I am sure his stories will be such extent that not able to discuss in programs. Freedom of speech must be on positive sense. Jokes on somebody's physical shape and defects is NOT a comedy. Not all are equal. Some people take it seriously and don't like to be joked on them.

That's fun....no humiliation by shoaib. He is sensible and patriotic guy.

Come on guys. It was just a joke. No reason to be upset.

By all means accuse him of bad humor and non-existent comedic talent, but disloyalty? I think Pakistanis should pull their collective head out of where it doesn't belong.

get over it.... he was just joking

@kapil I agree but anyone also has a right to be offended. Btw I believe it is ridiculous to question his loyalty to Pakistan. We Pakistanis sometimes dont have a very good sense of humour.

why watch indian shows that too even after banned in pakistan.... and now comedy nights with kapil becomes a talk show where in the panel would discuss this for ages.... giving indians material to pakistani's are emotional and naive.... :P

What is wrong in this video ? I don't find anything. Its just comedy. Take it on a lighter note.

Come on guys, give him some slack and have some sense of humor. Only confident people can take a joke on themselves!

Chadoo ji koi gal nahi Munda makhool kar raha tha mitti paoo

Whats is wrong with this vedio????.? Why all pakistan is taking it seriously?

Shoaib says ."My grandmother will beat Nasir in fitness" it is true and hilarious , Shoaib speaks of ills in Pakistan cricket, the insane selection of the tour selection committee, people may be finding it hard to swallow because this time he criticize his team at an Indian comedy show, otherwise u r damn right mr Rawalpindi express

I wonder if Nadeem writes something about Shuaib Akhter

I can see both sides of the argument. Shoaib should have shown little class. After all, these guys are his former team mates, colleagues, and hopefully friends. You don't bash the institution which gave you fame and notoriety. On the other hand, since this was a comedy show and the entire theme is fun and laugh, I am sure Shoaib perhaps didn't think twice about it. After all there was no malice. Just a joke on others expense. If he had shared something funny about himself and put himself into the same category, it would have been much better. I bet, next day after the hang over, he must cringed on what he said.

shame ---shoaib Akhtar

Cmon guys...grow up

@Faraz : that was not a joke. He made his presumption a fact like all pakistanis do. Had it been a joke then nobody would have bothered about it. As many in India make sachin's mockery too. And whatever he wrote we didn't attach it to our country's pride. Our country is greater than any of its citizen and its pride is not at someone's stake. And we didn't ban him after that he still comes to India and works here. We don't make a mountain out of a mole hill and don't stretch things so much and we just 'Let It Go'. You should try it too. Don't make your country's pride so low and cheap

Arreey, bachhe ki jaan logey kya???

I do not see any issues with what Shoaib did. We should be more concerned with the politicians who are destroying the country every day. It is our shortsightedness that we get upset at these minor things and not do anything about the bigger picture which is affecting millions of people every day. Most important, are we ready to answer the questions in our graves......

It was just a comedy show, BTW Harbhajan's own english skills are nothing to write about

Pakistan needs a sense of humour

Hunh !! Its comedy.. why should everybody get so serious about it?

Jokes are Jokes. Nothing more. Same is true for Sachin, Dravid, Laxman and Kumble combined. I truly don't see any malicious intent in it.

what is the big deal. It is a comedy show and he is making jokes. I do not see anything wrong in it. How many time Umer Shariff has made fun of how Javed Miadad talks or he himself made fun of Rana Naved ul hasan's age or Inzi's fitness. I mean common. Not everything is matter of life or death. Lighten up a little and enjoy the lighter side of life.

@A there is difference between joke and remarks. What shoaib did is joke and that lady has done is remark.

Why can't we take a joke. It's just a comedy show for crying out loud. Furthermore what wrong Shoaib has said? The way our team has been performing, this is what they deserve.

Chillout guys, we are not this insecure. After all you got to do what you got to do to get paid for these appearance.

One small suggestion to Pakistan readers...What ever happens in comedy shows should be taken as always in comedy way. Nothing should be taken seriously.

After following Shoaib for last couple of days,I believe he's a wonderful,sensible and most accurate Pakistani critic today.His sense of humor is also good.The most noticable thing is his command on words.

Please understand he did not say anything against Pakistan. This is comedy show. Don't take this seriously. Just need to chill.

He found some freedom of speech in India lol

After Adnan Sami, Shoaib will the second Pakistani celebrity who will be applying for asylum in India.

@A that women is veena malik who said it for Yuvraj singh ..and was found crying in Pakistani shows ..

come on yar - he was being funny - leave him alone.

@KHAN Bhai, relax, these cricketers are not holy cows etc, and please stop worshiping, these matric fail bookies.....

To all my Indian friends, how would you feel if an Indian cricketer ridicule Indian cricket team on pakistani tv ???

@H.H.Shah Full of problems? are you serious. ......? Inzi and co were full of problems, betting, and just being plain stupid

Understand the sentiments here, the people of the subcontinent are very passionate and emotional. Case in point, the patriotic people on this forum and the cricketer who made his comments. I think part of the way out of these tense moments is for all of our people to lighten up. Shoaib is within his rights to say this, if the team had performed well how much material could Shoaib have found and even if he did take a jibe, how much people would have disregarded it.

This 'feudal" attitude is exactly why do not progress. Every action or every word should not come back to "personal honor" or "national pride". The guy participated in light-hearted comedy. I see even worse comments written by people. PCB stake holders are playing musical chairs. The team is doing bad what else do you expect the guy to say? We show no national pride where it matters i.e. economic development, poverty elimination etc. but bring it on in things of lesser importance.

I am really disappointed from the comments coming from Umer Sharif. This is a comedy show where you have full rights to express and laugh. I was having big respect for him but I don't think he deserves that. He is also part of cheap crowd

@Hassan Hassan, Yaar do'not take things seriously. Watch Gavaskar episode. comedy Night shows is not just Indian show. Pakistan and India both are watching. Watch when Virat kohli came in show and make fun of lot of Indian cricketers. This is not war.

@kapil : If this is freedom of speech then why did India suspend Kashmiri students for celebrating Pakistani win against India in Asia Cup?

Chill guys chillllll. If you have made ur pride so low then you need to change ur mentality....

This is how Shoaib has acted since I have seen him. He speaks before he thinks. That is why he has always been in trouble with PCB and fellow players. So, please leave him alone and don't pay attention to his opinion / analysis about the team in any form or shape.

Shoaib and Harbhajan should have mentioned some comedy moments pertaining to Indian players as well.Just making fun of Pakistani players was not fair.

@KhalidS No, we wouldn't have. Recently Mr. Aamir Liaquat tried to do the same. didn't go over well either. Akhtar has a right to his personal opinion, the timing and the audience is in question. Fine line between a mockery and humor.

@Omar Khan Well summarised. thank you for saying this. "I can see both sides of the argument. Shoaib should have shown little class. After all, these guys are his former team mates, colleagues, and hopefully friends. You don't bash the institution which gave you fame and notoriety. On the other hand, since this was a comedy show and the entire theme is fun and laugh, I am sure Shoaib perhaps didn't think twice about it. After all there was no malice. Just a joke on others expense. If he had shared something funny about himself and put himself into the same category, it would have been much better. "

@Faraz We found that funny as well :-)

@Arisha G Shoaib did make fun of his accent.....

just comedy show and Umer sharif is exposed.... its just comedy and if its so sensetive he should quit his profession.

We are all mocking Pakistani team. What is new and what is the secret of their performance. Select a better team if you do not like to be mocked

Lighten up, people! Don't be so uptight. Don't suffocate yourself and others. If we are worried and upset at comedies and parodies - we have something seriously wrong.

Look for real problem guys..don't remain engaged in staying diverted from real issues

It's like Netanyahu berating Obama in front of his own Congress. It's not done.

Cool down pakistanis .this is a comedy show

No big deal really as it was a comedy show. Even then it doesn't change Shoaib's utterances from what they were... cheap and in bad taste.

Shoaib is not insulting Pakistan cricket team, neither he could. He is giving his opinion that is voice of many Pakistanis, and his opinion is right too. The people who are insulting Pakistan cricket team, not only in India but all over the world, is PCB, Coach Waqar and Captain Misbah. Their selection and decision who plays, has made it obvious how much discrimination, nepotism, like and dislike plays the role in selection of Pakistan team and performance or talent gets ignored without any remorse. Living in UK, I have been asked this question many time by colleagues that how can Pakistanis tolerate that personal team of selectors and mangers are playing in their name and destroying the image of Pakistan all over the world?

All the Pakistani comedians when they are performing in India are mocking and humiliating Pakistani women, because they have to collect big money and fame. Mr. Umer Sharif's joke are always about Pakistani women, he degrade and insult Pakistani wives...Pakistani women are his favorite target, he should be ashamed of himself.

He wants to curry favour with Indians but he does not know the if BJP wants him out of India they will make sure that he leaves India with his tail between his legs like they did with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan or Adnan Sami Khan.

I don't see anything wrong done by Shoaib from the above video.

I am from India and we Indians and Pakistanis have to accept humor. Let us laugh and it is nothing wrong. I don't think Shoib did anything wrong and also i want to see some of the Pakistani players making fun of dressing room jokes or on the pitch jokes on Indians. come on guys, let us enjoy and laugh together. Laughter is not easy and free. it is very valuable. Hats off to Shoib for being so hilarious and he is better than anchor himself.

Both Indians and Pakistanis need to grow up and take it on the chin. Let's just segregate what people are calling 'Insulting' and see the issues underneath - corruption in the board and selection comittee are making it difficult for Pakistan to do anything - the same Pakistan which had so many greats in the past. If not Shoaib some other people would have noticed it and made fun. Shoaib is a patriotic Pakistani who has done much more for Pakistan than the whole current team if you take out Afridi. Its his frustration coming out. One should also make one's judgement after watching the whole video, especially Shoaib's comments at the end. If Shoaib had said this in Pakistan, nobody would have made such a big issue. Basically, if you take the location out of context, the issues will still remain. If Pakistan doesn't qualify for the quarter final, Shoaib would be proven more than right.

I see a funny side of the comments but had these comments been on a Pakistani tv show would have been appropriate but on an indian tv show defiantly NOT ..

seems fine to me. whats wrong in it.

I remember that one of the tennis stars dint recognise Sachin Tendulkar Wimbledon and just see the remarks of Indian fans who are asking us to be tolerant... And that was just because she dint knew him, imagine if would have said something then what would be the reaction...

What up big-hearted pakistanis, cant take a joke?

Omar Sharif after defeat at the hands of India said" What if we lost to India, we do not sit like that after a defeat, we attacked Somnath Temple 17 times and conquered it. I am sure Omar Sharif show is very popular in Pakistan.....any comment from any pakistani on that comment from a so called funny man.

Intolerant people can never laugh heartily !!

@kapil What about your current prime minister. Can't even speak English. What a shame? At least, Pakistani prime minister speak better English and dress up well.

Don't forget the context: it was a comedy show. Be light. Have courage to laugh at yourself. Shoaib is no less of a Pakistani than anyone else.

i am from Pakistan and i don't see anyone insulting anyone here . these are funny movements which they are sharing it happens during cricket . we should not exaggerate things

Ha ha ha. Absolutely brilliant! Great comedy show. Grow up guys! It's good for your health to laugh out loud every now and then

Kapil's Comedy Night's is lite comedy full of gupshup, bakwaas and silly jokes. If you see the video from a purely neutral point of view, there was absolutely nothing offensive about it.

Often what passes for comedy in the movies and variety shows in the sub-continent is crass, vulgar and lack in intelligence. The clip featured here is somewhat better than the stuff from many other purportedly funny shows. I did not see anything objectionable. The bottom line is - we in the sub-continent, lack sense of humor. When you add the Indo-Pak element or Hindu-Muslim element to it, we become to darn sensitive. People are even killed. What a shame!

@kapil Yup, freedom of expression, another great example of this freedom of expression in India is the gagging around the documentary made by Leslie U.!!!!! Perhaps Indian courts should start to learn about freedom of expression as well!!!

What he mocked? Guys look at them. They are remembering some past funny stuff and having fun. There is no disrespect in it at all. While Shoaib is just listening. Stop whining my country fellas.

@Yakub No issues with Jokes and enjoyments, but you dont do that at the expense of your national pride -- it would've been all OK if he was doing it at a Pak TV show! -- and not in India in front of Indian audience!

It's all about money honey! & the jokes are all canned

S. Akhtar.. A God Gifted most talented Fastest bowler who himself ruined his career with all sorts of controversies, ill-disciplined, fighting with team-mates. where he should have picked atleast 400 wickets in both ODI's n Tests and failed to win a single ICC for Pakistan... Flop Cricketer..Now a cheap Commentator...

Well Mr. Shoaib, Plz carry on what u doing right now, the more u speak earlier ur real inner will come to public. Plz carry on.

Guys its really funny and its just a joke for god sake. I am of Pakistani origin and how people can get upset about this is beyond me.

What shoaib akhtar said was to some extent right. I love my country Pakistan but what is wrong is wrong and seriously, reality bites

Persionally i can't take if any one makes fun of Shahid Afridi & it will not be funny for me but very offensive

Shoiab Akhtar should stay in India. Forever.

I think Shoaib gave right comment. We should take youngsters and judge by performance. Those old crap cricketers should go. Also put a side provincial discrimination because its sport and should not take only recommended folks. There are many many good cricketers in Pakistan. Only thing needed is not bring politics and source in cricket. All team member like Manager, coach etc should be ex cricketer.

@klobania Still India gave him job and money. If Indians are so rigid then he should ne not in India.

Well it is Comedy nights any way. Harbajan's comments on Pakistani players' english language skills were realistic.

That's the way he is. Remember his comment in tendulkar fearing him. If you like that then also like this. I haven't seen video but Kapil show is like this. Remember gavaskar making fun of Indian player and miandad incident

@omar I agree with your comment.

relax guys! we need to be able to laugh at ourselves. Its ok! we joke about tendulkars accent all the time! lets just chill and take it easy!

Fragile ego shattered.....don't watch it if u felt hurt...

As an Indian, the only team I want wold cup to win is Pakistan. if India can't win this cup, Pakistan better do. However, we are disappointed to see performance of Pakistan in this world cup. India and Pakistan we really both need to learn take constructive criticism. We Indians can't handle documentary made on Nirbhay, you guys can't handle teams criticism or similar. Please as human look at the week parts and learn to fix those.

Woww .. when did we as a nation become so touchy. Are we gonna fight over everything and anything anybody says? Gotta stop this people!! We are sliding and sliding and sliding, but we still don't realize our faults?? ...

Chillax man. It was just light hearted banter. He did not take any money to throw up a match.

@A You watched the programme. So it is ok to watch and Indian programme, but not ok to participate in it ? Double standards.

It is typical of Cricketer to behave like that , look at Imran Khan he insult our nation leaders same way. So No surprise

Shoaib Akhtar has always been a classless joke! Pathetic human being !

common!that was a light hearted joke. people of pakistan have other serious issues to worry about. leave this poor man alone.

Truth hurts. That's all Ivan say. People -- grow up , it's a comedy show nothing else. And anyways ! Is Shoaib wrong?

@Real Truth national pride ?? You think you are proud of what's going on in PCB -- starting from Sethi to Hafeez to ajmal ( not included) and finally N Jamshed It's all dirty politics -- are you proud What ever criticism we hear , is there any denying ? So it shouldn't matter if it's in Pakistan or India .

I found nothing wrong with that . Why we all so sensitive enjoy life .

@kapil So do these people who are blasting Akhtar :)

Deeply saddened to see the depths to which we can fall for cheap popularity and a handful of dollars. Nobody has the right to belittle his country before a foreign audience.

i have never watched the whole show just few minutes, just wondering what has happened to the great men of past, for just few $$$ they have become joker. where are the great men of past living a great life after the game .... then again its india where everyone seems to have $$$ sign in their eyes

watching Indian TV shows ------wait till mullahs find out about it.

So far, after reading all the comments here, it is becoming apparent that Shoaib Akhtar may become the first Pakistani brawler granted asylum in India for being a failed comedian in Pakistan and a success story in India.

I do not see anything wrong, It is way to improve yourself.

Come on guys, take this as joke it is funny

Hahaha, that clip is hilarious! I'm Pakistani and I feel that he absolutely has the right to lighthearted joke about the team. For those that think that he is betraying the country, please focus on people who are actually ruining our country like our pathetic political leaders

This is utterly disgusting. HE SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED FOR DOING THIS. No one given right to insult other especially sitting in a show in a country that looks for opportunity to defame the country.

@zak yes but harbajan did not say a thing about his team

LOL So now Indian TV shows should be 'designed' to suit Pakistanis.

Stupid news he is a person with his opinion don't see what's the fuss about. I enjoyed his comment Pakistan cricket team use to be a feared force during waseem akram era now its a complete joke.

Eh ..... What did I miss. This is a comedy show. Lighten up guys. Have we all lost our sense of humor or we can't take anything when India is part of the conversation.

It's true that Shoaib crossed a line there. But we also hold mock funerals and call the cricketers names and malign them. He's not the only one.

Let him a single word about any Indian cricket team player and then see how they will humiliate him and kick him out of India. And Shoaib just tell one thing, how many times Pakistan won the world cup when you were in the team?

Love the way Harbhajan mocking Pakistani English ha ha ha

What! Pakistani fans were going to beat Moin Khan at airports but they are criticizing Shoaib Akhtar for what?

Some are suggesting that he be given Indian citizenship...Sorry we can't handle more Muslims in India lol

@A Since some Indians wanted to "kill and rape" the woman (who tweeted that Pakistani's are good looking), you too want to do the same to Shoaib Akhtar? For God's sake this is just a comedy show, just take it easy and enjoy the show or don't watch it.

What a loser. He himself was a pack full of problems and tantrums, still he tends to forget what he has done and keep criticizing the present lot. Though, criticism is fine but going in india and ridiculing his nation is really not done. It is understood that he needs money and media contracts in india but he is selling himself too cheap. You lost your place in our hearts shoaib.

@Pawan_saini A few years ago, Harbajan's English was far worse, it's just recently he has made an effort to learn/speak a little.

Its a comedy show, things should be taken patiently. People of pakistan need some tolerance.

On the same serial Sunil Gavaskar joked about an Indian Spinner. Javed Mianadad was asking Spinner's Room no. to hit six there.... then.....Javed barked like a dog when the bowler started bowling on leg stump saying Spinner had caught his leg like a dog. Take it easy... it is Comedy nights with Kapil.... Shoaib is just joking mere Bhai!

Shoaib is a great cricketer and comedy show is a comedy ! Guys, learn to work hard, play hard and laugh hard.......Enjoy Life !!

@Rizwan This was comedy in extremely bad taste.

Paracha Sahab, You are such a funny man. You have knocked down so many people with your humor and satire. I expected you will take it on the chin and not complain! You are liberal ... but not liberal enough?

This stupid and Showkha Bowler was never a true Pakistan bowler.He wanted to be a a show piece for cheap girls of show business who wanted fame or money and use to assemble around him.He should be ashamed of what he is doing and how vulger he looks in the eyes of Pakistanis.

I watched this show and enjoyed alot. I have not seen any thing derogatory to Pakistan and Pakistani players. It is comedy show where this kind of humor is shown. I remember Virat Kohli came on this show, he also made the fun of his other team player, no one noticed any thing unusual. Grow up guys. Further, I also noticed one thing that he kept a distance with female participants of the show, it shows he is the gentleman. Dont bother what other think about you. You are a great sportsman and humanbeing. Hats off Shoaib

Shoaib has said what is true. He faced the consequences due to his truth. He also said true about Umar Akmal. What is going on, Akmal is dropping catch and still in the team. Pakistan will face a defeat in Quarter final due to this man. Imran Khan, where are you? Can not you speak now? This is total injustice with Sarfaraz because he belongs to Karachi. What else you need from a wicket keeper if he bats well. Misbah says he need batsman, then pls let us know what is the advantage of our openers which are doing nothing in several matches. Instead, try Sarfaraz, atleast he will grap cathces of players like virat kohli, no matter sarfaraz scores runs or not. He will definitely save Pakistan from a player who will score 100+ after dropping catch. MR. PRIME MINSITER! WE WANT ANSWER FROM YOU!

Pakistani fans should cultivate a sense of humour

He is sense of proportion and judgement case.This really happens when fame touches incapable and illiterate person.He is given identity and name by this country whom he is criticising for sale of few bucks and cheap popularity.Mr shoaib keep some grace,Pakistan is not that cheap.It's you who are cheap

@kapil what happened to the freedom of speech when India banned his book? He only said truth about tandulkar, that was not even mocking. Imagine if he or anyone made fun of Tandulkar or dhoni?

NFP - found out sadly today that after all you are just another sub-continental fanatic...

@Raheel very well said...even he do not get free with females of the show and continously says that i am married now......he really behave in decent way....guys please it was just entertainment show...personally i have enjoyed it a lot......

Thats bad

C'mon NFP - I thought you were a sport.

I am shocked at Nadeem Paracha's comment.At least Shoaib Akhtar was on a comedy show.

Shoaib Ahthar has given very good advice to Indian cricket team. I find his advice to Dhoni to come before Raina is very sensible . This will make the Indian team look stronger .Nobody is listening, as Shoaib himself has said, "I am saying this repeatedly but nobody is listening".

You insult someone who is respectful and respected not who has no respect at all.

I don't find he (Shoib) was humiliating to Pak team, and most of the comments cam from Harbajan Singh. Shoib even did say to Harbajan to have some funny stories from Indian side.

Come on guys, Shoib is the only superstar of the recent time who is not tented with any allegation during the match whether it be match fixing, ball tempering etc...Even Wasim does not come close to him on these ground. Whenever he play the cricket, he played for Pakistan and put his full efforts.

Thought I am not a fan of Shoib's. We need to get our heads out of our behinds. Its just a show and its comedy. If you dont like it. Change the channel. And he is not really lying about the age of the captains.

Come on Pakistan go easy on Shoaib.It is jut a comedy show he didn't mean to hurt any body's feelings. Let Ommer Sharrief or Fakher-a-Alam make fun of Indian cricket team and see if anyone cares in India.

I do not approve of mocking a person when he/she is not present . Freedom of speech in my opinion must be limited to the point where the other person feels that it accounts for insult. I do not know what Inzi & Razzak think about this but I would feel insulted irrespective of the the audience. I believe that if all the players who were mocked were present in the studio and had an equal chance to mock the mockers, it would have been fair.

Shoaib has been unrealistic in his comments on Pak's performance in world cup but seriously, this was just a comedy show. I remember Ajay Jadeja saying similar things a few years before too about the 90s indian team. No heads were blown then. Why are we so humorless? Why do we have to throw nationalism in everything? Pakistanis need to grow up and start creating stomach for some humor.

@A I agree with you on the part "right to freedom of speech" and disagree with Kapil's comments. I disprove of mocking of people in their absence. Your explanation is what worries me. I do not know the incident myself. You are implying in your comment that because that woman was threatened to be killed by some, Kapil would have thretened to kill her as well. Socrates logic: All men are mortal Socrates is a man Therefore, Socrates is mortal. But you are saying: Some Indian men are killers Kapil is a man Therefore, Kapil is a killer That cannot be right, right? There is a possibility that Kapil had the same view as that woman (Pakistani crickets are more handsome).

@Nadulal Its not banned

@r The only problem is that when a Pakistani make fun of any other Pakistani personality in India it hurts as you know our rivalry with the neighbors and same feelings must be felt with any Indian when they make a joke on any one from Indian side in Pak.. but its rarely happens.. I am sorry to say that due to our own faults and situations we have become a impatient nation.. So anyone across border tries to joke about Pak think twice as it can be taken very seriously .. also see our media what its doing Day and Night showing negativity .. it allows others to do the same thing .. So best way to ignore

Dont know how such criticism can be brought into place for Shoaib's Remarks in a Comedy Show. Guys its just a comedy show and i hope you all know the meaning of comedy (does not have to be true always). Moreover Shoaib's Character does not speak of a patriot and we all should treat it as something done for fame and fun by a Real Life Joker.

@Arun Madhav u have to get a 2nd life to understand Paracha. the dude is a patriot and very reasonable person....

I saw nothing sinister in what Shoaib said about Pak. cricket team, it was constructive criticism and suggestions about improving their performance on the field . Pakistan has a world class team, there is nothing wrong in asking them to produce world class performance, the Pak. Nation deserve that. On top of that Pakistan Nation and cricket team management are mindful enough to accept fair criticism, correct their deficiencies to give the Pak. public something to be proud of. Stop blaming every body for your failures.

It is a comedy show and he is enjoying it , telling the bitter realities of pakistani cricket team . He is 100% right that this pakistani team is full of incompetent players. I support you shoaib . Chuk ke rakho inko .well done.....

Its wrong go just show clips and start blaming someone, to anyone who is interested in what happened, I would recommend that you go and watch the end of the episode. He took a wonderful opportunity to give the msg of peace, anyone who thinks this is bad should consider wasims comments about winning IPL being better than WC 92 as blasphemous

It is the beauty of comedy that it cools down emotions.Comedy shud not be taken seriously,otherwise life will become boring.

@HAEL cool man,don't be so hyper.Enjoy life,u too crack some good jokes.

accept th truth.... dismal team

His comments had no place on a comedy show, only because his comments are completely true

Well everyone knows how popular comedy night with Kapil is, according to me he was just passing jokes on cricketers. Pakistan people who are criticizing one of our legend on social media is actually insulting Pakistan by doing this all . That CNWK is better then morning shows, what about Amir Liaqat so called is fame and program is on air i don't know how many countries what sort of impression gave by passing comment on our national heroes , if we are criticizing Shohaib Akhater means a mother is exposing her children bad face in a society . Is it sounds good ? With all due respect Mr Umer Sharif as he said a lot for Shohaib Akhter, i have to say many times you did the same things in your entire career as i am a viewer of all programs although i watched your live performances in many corporate events yes i am talking about 1990's era :) . Please stop abusing our own people on a big plate form people needs entertainment only .

Whats the problem with Pakistani people, its a comedy show enjoy it and learn to laugh at yourselves.

It was just a comedy show and he said nothing wrong.

Those remarks were made just for humor, and everyone in the audience know that there is lot of exaggeration in those remarks, I wish Pakistani cricket fans do not take it serious either.

Shoaib is a Legend! Only bowler of our times to put fear into Indian batting.

@Amer Sheikh and then get pounded for fours and sixes....do you remember that too??

We need people like Shaoaib Akhtat in team who don't make such a big deal out of every little thing. We still love Shoaib and this, in any way , was not an insult for Pakistanis.

whats wrong?c

What aamir liaqat did in his shiw was similar to what shoaib did. Shouldn't be an issue with the media as long as it was done from comedy perspective.

whole of pakistan is a cheap place -- cheap place for cheap people!! :)

I am sorry , my fellow countrymen,will not do it again.

i haven't seen the video but joke about age is no big deal. I dont know what else he said but Pakistanis need to be a bit open minded about it and joke is a joke.

@klobania "@KAPIL i still remember when Shoaib made mockery of sachin and indian fans and media went mad... i wish indians had played the freedom of speech card then!!" Yes Shoaib had freedom of speech even then and he does so even now. Freedom of soeech does not mean people appreciate what you say. It simply means that it is not illegal to say something simpy because it offends someone. So people in Ondia chose to criticize him then and many in Pakistan choose to criticize im now. Neither situation affects his freedom of speech.

@Hassan "To all my Indian friends, how would you feel if an Indian cricketer ridicule Indian cricket team on pakistani tv ???" Naseeruddin Shah reglarly criticizes Bollywood in Pakistan. No one makes a big deal about it.

@Nadulal "@kapil what happened to the freedom of speech when India banned his book? He only said truth about tandulkar, that was not even mocking. Imagine if he or anyone made fun of Tandulkar or dhoni?" His book was not. Banned. Please do not present your opinion as a fact.

Grow up everyone . It is just a humor not intentional . Why would he do so. Enjoy the comedy.

paks can't accept the truth even jokingly.

I don't understand why Pakistanis are so volatile. They can't take even a simple joke. Well, Shoaib was in India to make money. Simple. Ask Pakistani producers to pay him well and he won't ever come to India. Even Wasim Akram would go back.

He should apologize, freedom of speech does not mean insulting, he could have avoided age and physique related jokes, and still exercised freedom of speech respectfully.

i am indian i strongly oppose shoaib akthar. comedy should not be personel attack. shoaib is this programme because he gained name from pakitan. he should not spoil his country name. he can only critise player performance.

@kapil.....it was also freedom of speech...when he wrote in his book that sachin was scared of facing him....his legs were shaking.......india took that welll........oh no wait.....there was outrage......where was freedom of speec then???

Shoaib Akhtar should also not forget his own past performances ... he bowled the fastest ball alright, but he had problems with his fitness.... so many times we saw that after bowling two three overs he left the field and did not complete his quota .....moreover his fielding was not upto standards and he had dropped no. of easy chances

This is Shoaib's loser mentality. He was a failure himself as most of the time we was unfit to play but was healthy to go with the party girls. Don't bother to come back to Pakistan as you are at the right spot traitor.

Shoaib Akhtar is funny and no one in Pakistan has any sense of humor. Love, a Pakistan cricket fan.

This is shameful..getting paid by Indian channel to make fun of pakistani greats of the game...I didn't see him making fun of indian team...Insulting Pakistani cricket seems to be the only way for him to contribute to Indian media... what a joker !!

@Gp65 sorry it was the cancellation of the book release which is even worse than banning the book ONLY because he criticised Mumbai's favourite son this should make us all hang our heads in shame." Now again whatever happened to the freedom of speech?!

He has hurt entire nation,

I have seen all the show, was not done in bad taste, he was also mentioning Y not to discuss Indian crickters. But somehow discussion remained on pakistani players

@ashok Indians are going good, then how they will make fun of them :-D Pakistani cricketers are making fun of themselves, no one is responsible. Younus and, Umar and Nasir, please leave us now, otherwise we will be defeated in quarter final.

Guys there is nothing wrong,Now we have been celebrating Holli next will be Durga puja. We have same south Asian culture. Pakistani are going back to their roots.Long live Hindu ism.

Well said by Shoaib Akhtar.. Thumbs up

He can be the best coach for team green n i can bet on this.wt is fact is fact indian team is better than ours in all aspects

learn to laugh at yourself, no problem .

@Balram Sharma what about Indians showing big heart when your journalist called pakistani girl hotter than Indians. Why they got mad and called for raping and killing her.

@Shivaji good thinking

@Shivaji Why Indian went crazy mad when the same Shoaib said he is not his hero in his book. What would Indian do if Harbajan make jokes about Indian team in a Pakistani show. Stop this dual faced hipocrsy.

@Rosebell there's no comparison. We feel proud that our prime minister speaks in Hindi. He is a very simple man. And we love him for that.

chill out pakistanis ! Shoaib himself is disappointed and frustrated with how his national team is performing at present and so ofcourse he used this opportunity of a comedy show to display his disappointment articulately in front of media ! So dont get angry with Shoaib and lash out at him but still be angry with your national team !

Shoaib for President..or Army General..or whatever next is available!

@Yakub ... you comments " Learn to enjoy jokes" Even it the joke is about you???? Will you still enjoy????????

Shoaib criticism of the team is quite right.

@Junaid i believe he is very sharp and smart. He acted well to be Pak's ambassador to India and cricketing world. I liked his message at the end of show to Indians that EACH Pakistani loves you and we should be same. I felt that was not very true but I needed to grow up. After all it is all light hearted comedy. By the way we helped you in the world cup cricket by beating WI... just kidding and chill out.

blasted for what he is only telling it like it is Pakistan are rubbish even the worse teams are coming across better then them, why is it an insult the Pakistan team and its managers should listen and learn not get offended.the people of Pakistan should not be so sensitive about these issues.

@kapil ... freedom of speech does not mean Dravid on a Pak TV insults BCCI and Ganguly or Harbhajan.... and you will let him go easily. ??? recall, when Sharapova said she does not know Tendulkar and it fell like a nuclear bomb on 120 billion Indians as if she was supposed to be known him at any cost. why did your media not took such comments by Sharapova who even never watched cricket... come on guys stop being hypocrite.

It is very easy to mock and very hard to defend. He follow easy path. They must not forget that they have fame because of Pakistan. He did hurt many. Very disappointed . Hard to swallow but our famous can do anything for easy money.

@kapil I wonder if u will say the same thing if former indian player makes a joke about indian team in Pakistan.

I don't understand why Indians and Pakistanis take things so personally. People should be free to do what they want to. Whether its Comedy Nights with Kapil or CNN. Why are we such control freaks?

Come on guys, take it easy. He was on comedy show and one can expect fun only.

Cheap comedy show!!!.Comments were cheap not the show itself.Grow up and put words in right perspective.

@NYC Indian Uncalled for cheap remark by a cheap Troll.! ;-))

Meanwhile, on Pakistani TV, Umer Sharif expressed his disappointment in the former fast bowler, saying he had lost his place in the nation after his remarks. You gotta be kidding me. If we started this kind of thing we will lose all our heroes one by one.

would be like this

@Mustafa Its a comedy show no harm Dil Bara kaharo Bahi there are other serious wrongs in our nation and Govt look at those

@Junaid well done!!!!!
