The empire of stand-up comedy is getting bigger by the day. This could be called the golden age for stand-up comedy and comedians. It makes me very happy to see stand-up comedy flourishing. I myself started with stand-up comedy. Stand-up comedy in Laughter Challenge and Comedy Circus made me popular. Later, I conceived a show where great personalities from sports, cinema, literature and music would be interviewed in a fun-filled atmosphere. Today, many stand-up comedians are becoming famous across the country through YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. They all express their gratitude to me, so I feel happy. I know everyone has his own share of struggles. It is by the grace of God that I became the medium to popularise comedy shows in our country. But this does not diminish the importance of other artists. Everyone has his own contribution. It is heartening that in our lives full of anxiety, pain, sorrow, stand-up comedians are bringing happiness to the faces of people.
