ControversyA Tiff with the Makers of a Show
Chanti gained immense popularity with his debut TV comedy show ‘Jabardasth’ (2013), but due to some issues, he left the show thrice. During an interview, when he was asked about the same, he said,
"My name did not come due to Jabardast. I came to the Jabardasth show where I made films. I went out to the Jabardasth show three times. If someone goes out, they will not be taken back into the show. This is their rule. But they respected me. Because I have never spoken wrong about anyone. No matter what..whatever goes wrong..they ask right away. Everyone knows this. Once I said that I will take a gap of three months. I felt a headache after doing it continuously, so I took rest. The second time I went with my personal problems. For the third time, 27 days of shooting were in the US schedule. I don’t have the level to talk about anyone.”
He further shared that he had a tiff with the makers of the show when he came to know that other comedians in the show were being paid more than him. He then decided to quit it. [6]Telugu News
