In India, he feels "outrage keeps happening everyday". "Now especially with data being such a huge part of our life...there is so much of demand for constant consumption of news. There is always fear... that once you get into trouble, you don't want to get into it again.

"If I am true to my job, I am sure the audience will appreciate no matter how much trouble I get into. The day I start worrying about what will happen if I say something, that day I will lose my head and my audience," said Tanmay, who has 6.73 million followers on Twitter.

He is proud of the fact that he has been doing his job and will continue to do so "until the day I get completely suppressed. I hope that day never comes. I have faith in India as a country and its people. And so far, it has been good".

Tanmay is currently co-judging Amazon Prime Original series Comicstaan -- a digital comedy reality series. "Reality shows in India are not done in an extremely authentic way. They are mostly done in very studio-like atmosphere but here, it was different. We did actual live shows. Even for the main show, we had tickets which people bought," he said.

He is joined by comedians Kenny Sebastian, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Kanan Gill, Kaneez Surka, Sapan Verma and Naveen Richard as judges.

"We didn't have arguments like Anu Malik yelling at Kunal Kohli saying 'you shouldn't say this'. But different judges had different opinions. So creative differences were there. It's always healthy. We all had our own favourites," he said.

"Also, the show's format is such that it is really difficult to predict who will win. There are many ups and downs when it comes to the scoring. More than fighting with the judges, I had arguments with the audience. In that sense, it was fun," he added.

Tanmay has also featured in movies Ragini MMS 2 and Mr. X. "I am not acting in movies but I am producing movies," he said without sharing more details.
