Comedy Champion Prize Money Controversy

edit

In May 2023, while in Himalaya Television's 'Celebs Talk Show', Bharat stated that even after a year of winning Season 2 of Comedy Champion, he received only NRP 14 lakh 25 thousand (NRP 1.425 million) of the promised amount of the prize money, which was NPR 25 lakh rupees (NPR 2.5 million).[12][13]

When the comedian asked about the deduction, the production team stated that it was a result after taxes cut out.

Later, he also stated that he has satisfied himself and there was no point in worrying or showcasing displeasure.
