In the midst of a jatra (traditional folk theatre) financial controversy, Sanjeeb Padhy, the owner of a jatra troupe, responded strongly to critics who asked him to return money over performance deals. Padhy, speaking publicly, said that those calling him a “chingudi bepari” (shrimp trader) have “never seen a dollar in their life,” using the phrase metaphorically to describe narrow-minded critics who focus only on money.

Addressing the issue of payment, Padhy stated clearly that he will not take one lakh rupees being pressed upon him, and asked for his money to be returned with principal if it is to be repaid — insisting that such financial demands lack understanding of his position and the cultural context of jatra performances.

This statement comes against the backdrop of ongoing disputes in the Odisha jatra community over performance commitments and advance payments — a topic that has recently seen well-known artists and troupe owners at odds publicly. Padhy’s remarks underline the tension between artistic integrity and commercial expectations in Odisha’s folk theatre scene.
