Former federal legislator and entertainment tycoon Shina Peller has addressed speculation about his purported biological relationship to well-known TikTok star Peller.
Peller denied having any family ties to the young comic in a recent interview with Channels TV.
Shina Peller claims that his father, Professor Peller, a well-known magician, is the source of the name “Peller.”
Shina Peller made it clear that the TikTok star is not related to them.
Shina Peller also acknowledged the comedian’s clever use of the name, stating that it has contributed to his success.
Shina Peller said:
“I have heard about the TikTok star Peller and a lot of people have asked me whether he’s a member of our family.
“Truly, Professor Peller’s family is quite extended, but he is not a member of the family.
“The name ‘Peller’ was given to our father as a magician and it’s a name that the family has adopted since the time of my father.
“So, Peller, the comedian is not a member of the Peller family. It’s a successful name. He’s just being smart. He’s being able to pop with the name. You can’t blame him but I can tell you categorically that he’s not a member of the Peller family.”
