He is the younger brother of comedian Hari Kondabolu, with whom he conducts the semi-regular Untitled Kondabolu Brothers Project as well as the Untitled Kondabolu Brothers Podcast. Rolling Stone India described Ashok as "New York’s stock Joe Gould-like character injected with the creative adrenaline of gonzo journalist Hunter S Thompson and the uncouth coarseness of writer Charles Bukowski."
