Dance choreographer Shaik Jani Basha, popularly known as Jani Master, recently made his first public appearance at the pre-release event of the Telugu film Keshava Chandra Ramavath (KCR), which stars young actor Rocking Rakesh in the lead. He addressed the crowd and talked about going through a difficult time after being accused of sexual abuse by his former assistant. The choreographer was granted bail last month in the POCSO case.

Jani thanked his wife for standing by him during his time in jail. She told Rakesh, "A wife always stands with her husband for sure. Her power and her strength always support him. I emphasise 'for sure' because, recently, some things happened to me, and the way my wife stood by me like a pillar and was my backbone, I really thank her."

He added, "Not just her, but to all the wives supporting their husbands: because of your support that leads us in the right direction, we are able to achieve great positions."
