Had Tannishtha Chatterjee told us that she felt insulted, we would have rectified it-Krushna Abhishek

Tannishtha Chatterjee was roasted on Comedy Nights Bachao Taaza and subjected to remarks on her skin colour. Her outrage against the comments has sparked off a debate on this age-old issue once again. Here's what the actress and host Krushna Abhishek had to say about the controversy...
Tanvi Trivedi (BOMBAY TIMES; September 30, 2016)
The channel airing Comedy
Nights Bachao Taaza posted an apology on social media and also stated
that they have taken this up with the creative team and the production
house to ensure that the show is produced in line with the channel's
vision. However, host Krushna Abhishek feels the controversy has been
blown out of proportion. “First of all, I would like to apologise to
Tannishtha Chatterjee for whatever happened. She is a woman, I respect
her as an artiste and she was our guest on the show. But it would have
been better if Tannishtha would have watched the show before she agreed
to get roasted,“
he says.
Krushna adds, “Has she ever seen the way I make fun of Bharti (Singh) or
how people take digs at me and my appearance on the show? The format is
such that we are making fun of everyone's appearances. I have called
Bharti a buffalo and she has called me a horse a thousand times. And if
Tannishtha felt that a comment on her skin tone was racist, why didn't
she raise the issue during the performance. She went home and then
decided to post this on her social media account. Had she told us that
she felt insulted or shocked by such comments, we would have rectified
it. That's why I feel the controversy has been blown out of proportion
and she was doing this for publicity. And by 'publicity' I mean she is
doing this to create a controversy and not for the publicity of her
film. When there is no issue why are you creating a controversy? There
are so many artistes who come on our show and they ask us to edit
certain portions and we do that. We could have done that this time too.
Tannishtha was nice to everyone on the show. And I again reiterate that
she should have watched the show before agreeing to be part of it?“
