When Ssumier Pasricha first stepped into the industry, he grabbed many eyeballs with the striking resemblance to the superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Then his hilarious videos made it to the headlines. He is quite popular on social media and well, that platform is surely mean. 

In December, Ssumier had posted a video when Taimur Ali Khan's name became a controversy. Well, in the video, Pammy made a valid point that a name doesn't reflect your true identity. She gave examples that a child whose name is after the Gods can also become a criminal.

But soon after that Ssumier's manager started recieving threat calls to pull the video down. However, he has taken the video down. When we contacted him, he said, "It started in January only but we were taking it easy. I told my manager to tell them that I don't stay here and I stay somewhere outside. It just continued and continued and he was being harassed. It was difficult for him to answer any call as people were calling from various numbers. It was too much for him and then I was like that video has been up for three months and let me take it down for him. It was for him that I removed the video."

He also added, "Of course, it's not justified, but it didn't bother me much as the video was there for three months. I can't aim at any political party or community. I think they took it personally. That was the whole thing. It's just on the bookish language that India is a democratic country. What's happening in India is that anyone who raises his voice, there are people who know how to use Facebook and Twitter, they have to start trolling without doing a reality check."

What do you have to say about his statements?
