Can you tell us something about your new show? What is unique about this show compared to the rest?
Usually, in all the other shows I was always there as a performer, but here I will be hosting for the first time. I will be performing here too, but I will also have two celebrity guests. I plan to invite comedians like Paresh Rawal, Sajid Khan, Rajpal Yadav, Sunil Pal and Bhatti Singh.

You have been part of many events. How is hosting a show different from that?
It is very different. I have always been part of various events and have just performed. I was afraid of anchoring and was happy just doing my performance. When hosting, one has to be very conscious of what one is doing. There are also a lot of distractions that can spoil your concentration; so one has to be very alert while hosting.

In spite of having done mainstream cinema, it was stand-up comedy that gave you recognition. What do you have to say about this?
It is true. I have been more successful as a stand-up comedian than as an actor. Films in which I was cast as an important character were never successful while movies that had me playing a short role were hits, but not due to my credit. I got recognition mainly through participating in Laughter Challenge, so a huge part of my success is due to television.

Do you regret not winning Laughter Challenge?
To a certain extent, yes. My family was disappointed that I did not win the show. But when I performed live with Sunil and witnessed the audience reaction, I was thrilled. I realized that winning or losing isn’t what is important. The most important thing is your talent and the ability to capture your audiences' heart. I don’t believe in voting after losing the laughter challenge either.

You have always been seen mimicking Amitabh Bachchan?
No that’s not true…people do say that I mimick Lalooo ji very well. It’s just that I have a lot of similarities with Amitabh ji. We share the same last name, both our fathers are writers and wives are short (laughs), so you see I mimic him often.
