I am doing research also in one of the tier 1 institutes but never ever seen something like this. This shows it doesn't matter how much degree holder you are if you don't behave like a human your degree doesn't matter. These are the prime example that the education system is utter shit, how just qualifying an exam and getting into PhD and what type of people are representing a community whose only respect in people's life is going in the drain. Shame on such individuals for bringing down the value of being a researcher. Shame on JNCASR.

[@rahulkant555]

This made me so uncomfortable while watching. But the way it was handled. Too good

[@shubhamgulekar1744]

I love his humour and also one more think I adore about him is that being happy in every situation possible.. and not making it chaos ..like he had the choice to throw the guy out or stop when the guy said don't want to hear jokes... But he puts himself in their shoe and converts their negativity into positivity.. love you sourabh bro 😁❤️👍🏻

[@prathameshbarde7421]

Amazing comebacks Sorabh👏🏽👏🏽 you have great presence of mind. We would never come up with such clever replies in front of such an audience. This video perfectly explains how hard it is to be a comedian and have the balls to face assholes talking shit to you in front of so many people....

[@kritinjpaulraj]

The way he took on his hecklers so spontaneously was amazing!!! I wish I had that ability.

[@SearchingSerenity]

Many renound comics across the world have stopped going to campuses. High time that Indian comics understand (acknowledge- because I am sure you guys are smart enough to undrstand) that these gigs are not worth the troubles

[@subhajyotisarkar349]

I have just got into a phd program after working really hard, it is so sad how some people in these institutes are so arrogant and oversmart not respecting the seat that they have got, there are hundreds waiting in line for one phd position and someone who has got a seat should be grateful for the opportunity and should keep the dignity of this position and behave accordingly. This is really shameful to the whole research community, I am so sorry sir that you had to face this. In this world where we are in so much of stress constantly, someone who is working hard to creatively make us laugh curing our bad mood is next to God, they deserve a lot of respect.

Wow, The patience you have man! I would've walked off in the first 5 minutes. Also, looks like some of these "PHD" guys didn't pay to be there. Personally, I've never seen people behave this extra in Comedy Clubs where you pay good money and take some time out of your busy schedule to have a good time. I respect what you do more now.💙
