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.

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.

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

I fear debt. I don't like being indebted to banks. I have a rule in life that I will get it when I can afford it.

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.

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