There were reports about Tannishtha Chatterjee being upset over certain comments made by the hosts of Comedy Nights Bachao Tazaa as a result of which she stormed off from the sets. She has said that the hosts made fun of her dusky complexion by calling her kaali kalooti and was asked whether she ate jamun in her childhood?

DNA After Hrs spoke to Krushna Abhishek who is one of the hosts of the show to ask what went wrong. "Tannishtha is going overboard. She is doing this for publicity. We always meet the actors before they come on the show. I had asked her if she had seen the show before and if she was familiar with our (roast) concept. She said she hadn't seen the show. She hadn't watched even AIB Roast. If she didn't know what it was, she shouldn't have come on the show. Secondly, we gave more importance to Radhika Apte who is a bigger star. That must have also been a problem for Tannishtha."

But didn't he think that calling Tannishtha 'kaali kalooti' was too personal? "I didn't say that and I don't know who said that. In any case, it is a roast format aur hamne wahi masti ki jo hamesha karte hai. In fact, we have toned it down from what it was earlier. Initially, she was enjoying, but after a while she told us she doesn't like this kind of mass humour. Neither Radhika nor Leena had any problems with our comments. In fact, they were laughing and while going, both Radhika and Leena hugged me and danced with me."

As for her walking away from the show, that's not true, says Krushna. "After three acts, we realised that she was not enjoying the show at all. We thought she will spoil the show, so it was mine and director Nikul Desai's decision that we will send them because we had finished doing the film integration with the show."
