I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable.

I did theatre in the U.S. because there, content-wise, it's very light. In India, theatre tends to get preachy.

Comedy is a live art, and the only way to record a comedy rock album is to do it live. The audience and their laughter is just as much a part of the album sound as our music. No retakes, no room for error.

To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way.

I have a rule - 'funny is funny!' When I write comedy, it's not my aim to upset people. I will be offensive, edgy and immature, but I will also be very intelligent and relevant. At my shows, there are no holy cows.

Surround yourself with a bunch of like-minded people, and you'll soak up their habits like a starved sponge. Fat people with fat friends care less about their weight.

I am edgy, raw, offensive, vulgar, untruthful, but intelligent. My jokes are always realistic. I do not make fun of children or people who cannot fight back. That is my limitation.

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.

Someday social media might, hopefully in some small measure, wake up to the fact that other people's failures are not your successes.

Delhi women - they're the most beautiful women! But the fact remains that they know they are gorgeous.

I am a big fan of Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, who have carved a niche for themselves. I think doing different kind of films gives you longevity and the ability to set yourself apart.

The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.

Relationship humour gets the most laughs. If I'm able to get the women laughing, men will have to laugh along because they would be scared to death.

When it comes to English stand-up comedy, Indians have only seen the best - Jerry Seinfeld, Bill Cosby and the like. So, when someone claims to be an English stand-up comedian in India, he'd better be very good if he's going to make a life of it.

In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.
