I think of myself as an Indian comedian, but I've had British and American schooling. I always had this feeling of not fitting in anywhere, of observing situations from the outside.
I do films which get me out of my comedian routine so that I don't get bored being a stand-up comedian. And with films, it's here today, gone tomorrow. So stand-up comedy is here to stay for me.
To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.
Someday social media might, hopefully in some small measure, wake up to the fact that other people's failures are not your successes.Collection: Media
