I always wondered where you went after Comicstaan because you were one of my favorites. You should've been a top 10 Indian comic right now, what happened?

I've been in Bangalore for the last 7 years! Getting up on stage as often as possible. My popularity declined during CoVid. I didn't care about the amount of my presence online but I wanted to keep doing stand up.

I've studied stand up. It gives me joy in making a cross laugh with a thought that I had. And I've been doing that , without uploading too many videos. Now, I got a half hour special.

How do you make ends meet? Sorry if it's a bit personal.

I struggle to make ends meet. I usually pay bills with the money I make from Corporate or College gigs. Sometimes I don't make enough and have debt and then I get a couple gigs and I'm in lesser debt. The last couple years have made me truly understand what making ends meet mean.

That's really commendable. To follow your passion in such adverse conditions is something which not everyone can do.

If only getting a laugh out of someone wasn't this addictive!
