Reportedly, the organizers told him that he could not mimic Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the show; but they allowed him to mimic Rahul Gandhi; however, later, they told him to abstain from mimicking both the politicians. ^[5]india.com In an interview, Shyam told the reporters,
  

  I had prepared on the script around Modi ji for a month, but was told by the channel’s production guys that it might lead to a huge controversy, and even riots. I was asked to drop it. Then I prepared one on Rahul Gandhi… that too was rejected. The script I actually performed on the show was done over just two days. Comedy can’t be done in a day and these constant changes left me very disturbed. I feel these decisions (not to run scripts around Narendra Modi or Rahul Gandhi) should have been taken before calling me to the show. It’s affecting my career… somewhere people are thinking that this person got eliminated in the first round of the show, so he’s not capable. It’s not fair. I don’t think there was anything wrong with the skits, I was not insulting anyone. It was just a comedy!”
