This Is How Colors and Krushna Abhishek Reacted To Parched Actress Tannishtha Chatterjee's Post!

Tannishtha Chatterjee's facebook post about how she was roasted on Comedy Nights Bachao and shamed for her dark skin tone went viral on the social media. She said at lenght how she was roasted only on her skin tone and nothing else!

After her post went viral, Colors channel, that airs Comedy Nights Bachao, issued an apology to the actress and said that

"It is rather unfortunate that what you had expected to be a fun and novel experience turned out to be traumatic for you on the sets of 'Comedy Nights Bachao'. It was never our intention, nor a practice for us or the makers of the show to offend anyone at all with the jokes. We have taken this up seriously with the creative team and the production house to ensure that the show is produced in line with the vision of the channel. Please accept our apologies for any hurt that was unwittingly caused."

But while Krushna Abhishek had apologised on behalf of the show earlier, as has been reported by IANS, he later called it a publicity stunt on the part of the actress. Formerly he had said,

"If she feels offended by something, I apologise from our side. We never want to hurt anyone deliberately. Comedy Nights Bachao is of a roast format. Roast doesn't mean that we say just anything to anyone... I had asked Tannishtha, if she has seen the show, she said she doesn't watch TV as such. So, she has no clue about the show. So I took another example and asked her if she had seen AIB Roast? And she hadn't seen that either. I told her that since it's a roast, there will be some leg pulling, but we don't insult. Had we been insulting, the show won't have come so far."

Later on a report published in Deccan Chronicle, the comedian and roaster has said:

"Tannishtha is going overboard. She is doing this for publicity. We always meet the actors before they come on the show. I had asked her if she had seen the show before and if she was familiar with our (roast) concept. She said she hadn't seen the show. She hadn't watched even AIB Roast. If she didn't know what it was, she shouldn't have come on the show.”

He also added:

“I didn't say that and I don't know who said that. In any case, it is a roast format aur hamne wahi masti ki jo hamesha karte hai. In fact, we have toned it down from what it was earlier. Initially, she was enjoying, but after a while she told us she doesn't like this kind of mass humour… As for her walking away from the show, that's not true…after three acts, we realised that she was not enjoying the show at all. We thought she will spoil the show, so it was mine and director Nikul Desai's decision that we will send them because we had finished doing the film integration with the show."
