I don't think one gets to choose the kind of comedy he/she does. I may not talk about Rahul Gandhi's take on an ordinance, but I will talk about things as simple as a 'chappal' or a 'sherwani.' My comedy is about small things, and that is how it connects. Vir Das chappalchoosecomedy share on social
To me, the trick is not how can I make people laugh. It is, how can I make people laugh in a different way. Vir Das laughmakepeople Change image and share on social
The idea is to do out-of-the-box films that showcase my versatility and talent. Vir Das boxfilmidea Change image and share on social
A lot of people do comedy about India, but they're not from India. It's a Kwik-E-Mart perspective. I want to provide a genuine view and maybe one on how we see the West. Vir Das comedygenuineindia Change image and share on social
I wouldn't call myself successful, just obsessively exhausted. The music makes me smile, the movies make me feel humbled, and the comedy saves my life every day. Vir Das callcomedyday Change image and share on social
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 conceptfilmfun Change image and share on social
For me, it is very important to believe in the kind of movies I do. 'Rang De Basanti' made me feel good about Indian cinema. The movie instilled in me a confidence so strong, that I wanted to be a part of the revolution in Bollywood. Vir Das basantibollywoodcinema share on social
I love the food, the girls, the sky and everything that is Delhi. I have very fond memories of the Moolchand flyover. Vir Das delhiflyoverfond Change image and share on social
Movies require a lot of patience. I like instant results. If I have done something that's not funny at all, the audience will let me know in two seconds. With the movie, I will have to wait nine months to know if I was that bad. Vir Das audiencebadfunny share on social
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 aimcomedycow share on social
