Kapil Sharma Show’s competitor Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza taken off air

Despite the show’s host Krushna Abhishek announcing that this season wouldn’t have the roast format unlike the first instalment, actors like John Abraham and Tannishtha Chatterjee walked out of the episodes over jokes directed at them. While John got miffed with jokes at his acting skills, Parched actor Tannishtha found the roast racist. She even wrote a long Facebook post slamming the Colors show. She got support from her colleagues, who took to their respective social media accounts to criticise the show. The channel had to then issue an apology to the actor.
