Cyrus Broacha
I was named after the great emperor Cyrus as my father, Farokh Broacha, was a great admirer of the Persian emperor. Continuing the tradition, I have named my son after Mikhail Gorbachev, someone whom I admire. He gave his people freedom.
I lift quite heavy weights, but unfortunately no one believes me.
The first rule of comedy should be, you must be very lazy. Whoever works should be immediately removed.
Amongst Indian celebrities, Shah Rukh is a great one to interview. He's a brilliant T.V. anchor, a people person, and enjoys talking.
I realised that a television show on political lampoon was one genre that was missing.
Bollywood is a strange world.
There's little money in theatre.
I have a great desire to serve humanity without ever actually getting off my chair.
I have the right credentials to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha.
Unless you are wealthy, you cannot afford to act or direct one play and remain unemployed the rest of the time.
At the end of the day, I know that I make my living by dressing up, fooling around, playing pranks and giving people a good time. I am enjoying the ride.
I have no idea how women manage their hair. Seriously.
That is the problem with comedy in India. Spoofing sells. Come up with original comedy about the hilarious nation we are, with funny accents and odd rituals, and we get into trouble.
I grew up in Delhi, where there are no Parsis. But once I came to Mumbai, I realised how quirky Parsis are.
As a test cricket lover, and as a cricket lover, I like all forms of the game.
Every night, I say goodnight to the kids like Rajesh Khanna, muah muah, two kisses, say goodnight to my wife, and every night, I'd go to the recreation room and watch cricket with two old men.
Popular and good and bad is not the same thing.
My mother thinks I'm a national treasure. She's the only one who thinks my Golden Kela award is the greatest gift ever.
That is how our marriage is working so well. My secret of happiness is keeping my contact to the minimum.
I don't keep a mobile, I am not computer savvy; I am not on any website. I live like a cave man.
As much I can stay away from people, I remain happy.
