Time management is the mantra of my life.

I auditioned nine times for 'Delhi Belly,' and it was torturous!

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 'Delhi Belly,' I was bald in other movies I always carried a different look.

Women do come up to me after a show, but it's usually to say, 'Yhank you for making us laugh,' and all that.

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

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.

I feel like I share a great relationship with my audience where they trust my judgment and choice of films and sense of comedy.

I'm a stand-up comedian-turned-actor-turned-vampire at night.
Vir Das
Image
The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent.
Vir Das
Image
Whatever movies I sign, they have to get me out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I would get bored very easily.
Vir Das
Image
You realise the responsibility of carrying a film on your shoulders when people are investing money in you and they recognise the hard work you have to put in.

Image
I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover.
Vir Das
Image
Delhi women - they're the most beautiful women! But the fact remains that they know they are gorgeous.
Vir Das

In Bollywood, people struggle because there is a new person joining every week, who joins an assembly line of people who are very replaceable. But if you are unique, you don't have to struggle that much.
Vir Das
Image
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.
Vir Das
Image
All of the films I'm doing are young, urban, high-concept, funny films. That's the zone where I'd like to play and have fun in.
Vir Das
Image
In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy.
Vir Das

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