Actor Abhishek Banerjee, known for his memorable roles in films and series, is currently facing an identity crisis of a rather unique kind. The confusion? He shares his name with his close friend and talented writer, Abhishek Banerjee. And thanks to this shared name, the actor is now being wrongly credited for work he didn’t do—specifically, writing a few brilliant episodes of Paatal Lok Season 2.

The actor, in his signature style, has addressed the mix-up with a mix of amusement and exasperation.
