Overview
- Pal, in interviews published Sunday and Monday, said he was invited to do a stand-up set but the taping turned into a roast he had not prepared for.
- He says a 15-minute sketch approved by the episode’s director, identified as Anukul, was dropped and that even the few jokes he told were edited out.
- Pal alleges producers favored Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia to boost their visibility and that audience cues and panel reactions left him feeling cornered.
- The streamed episode showed Raina roasting Pal with personal jibes, and Pal also claims parts of Raina’s and Allahbadia’s abusive language and gestures were cut from the final edit.
- The dispute builds on last year’s India’s Got Latent fallout, when Pal criticized both creators and called Raina “a terrorist of the comedy genre.”
