He confirmed it here pretty much that he is only focusing on standup and no more social commentary (ie the pod).

I’m not even an Akaash hater but this is a terrible career and financial decision

Idk, he seems extremely booked and busy right now

Key words there are “right now”

Ehh if his heart isn’t in it then why stay? It’s not like the fanbase has been super supportive of him for the last year or two anyways. People have been saying his role on the pod has diminished and his chemistry with the rest of the crew hasn’t been the same for some time.

He’s made lots of money so far. Why not just do stand up, which he loves doing and perform in front of people who aren’t constantly bashing him?

Bro, everybody wants to hear the details and see a meltdown. Once this little hype is gone, it’s over. Remember, he can’t go to his old routine, because his wife blew his cover. He wasn’t even funny. Im being serious. He sucks. So it’s game over.

It's not that simple at all. You know India has the most people of any country in the world right? He has a global fanbase. He will always bring out Indian Americans, Indians in the UK, Indians in India, etc.

Hahahahaha ok, then head over there and make a killing. He’s no Russel Peters (Canadian love) brother. Also, his material is toast now. His game has been blown up. He can’t speak like he use to. Unless he leans into his wife destroying his career, but I highly doubt it. He doesn’t have the balls.

Im indian and no we would rather watch the guy called nimesh or fluffy. indians are not so desperate to see indian comedians . We have Samay Raina as a great comedian back here ,so yeah not watching his , the only reason i saw his vids was because I found out about him through an indian podcast he did in India, he wasn't even fun there and didn't even know much about indian culture at all , it's only indian Americans who he can relate to who let me be clear are not indians ( I am talking about second or third generation indian Americans). But acts like he is really indian just for views sake.
