She says “Everybody can be funny in a group or family, but it takes a lot more to be funny on stage. You typically start out in pubs; it’s a bunch of strangers who are there to drink and eat and you have to entertain them, make them laugh. One of the important things needed to be a comedian is to have a thick skin. I was rejected many times”.

Because the setup is mostly an eatery where people are busy in ordering loudly, talking to each other at their highest pitch, some are half listening and half talking.

In comedy if you miss the punch line or the joke, you will say, “comedian hi bekaar tha, hasaya toh nahi”.
