But his defining career move was his decision to focus on the radio after his second series ended, which many in the industry viewed as a comedown.

But every step of this master comedian and host turned out for the best for him. His skills eventually led him to be recognized on the international platform. He hosted the Miss Universe 2015 and made the blunder of announcing the wrong name of the winner. That should have potentially ended his career. But his expertise was not taken lightly and the misfortune was swept under the rug as he was roped in for hosting the Miss Universe 2016 too.
