I've a belt that I have worn for every single stand-up comedy session since I was 19. I fear if I ever lose it, my career would crumble. That's my one OCD. Vir Das beltcareercomedy Change image and share on social
While Mumbai is a melting pot of cultures, Delhi is made of community, and we can see these lines quite clearly. An aunty from Punjabi Bagh will be different from a Faridabad aunty or an aunty from Vasant Kunj. Vir Das auntybaghcommunity share on social
I've been reading a lot of books on history, and watching a lot of educational TV. Wikipedia too, even though it is not reliable. Vir Das bookeducationalhave Change image and share on social
A stand-up comedian will never be the life of a party. Instead, he will be the guy who is standing at a corner and observing people. Vir Das comediancornerguy 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

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. Vir Das billclaimcomedian share on social
In Bollywood, I think Boman Irani and Vinay Pathak are unbelievably good at comedy. Vir Das bollywoodbomancomedy Change image and share on social
It's very important to not repeat yourself. After 'Delhi Belly,' I was offered 40 'Delhi Belly's and you can't do that! So 'Revolver Rani' is dark and gritty with action, 'Sooper Se Oopar' is a big commercial love story, 'Santa Banta' is a 'theth' Punjabi comedy, 'Golu Aur Pappu' is a kids' film and 'Amit Sahni Ki List' is an urban romcom.
