Widely regarded as one of the pioneers in India’s modern stand-up comedy scene, Vir Das has appeared in over 100 stand-up shows and boasts multiple stand-up specials. He has also acted in over 15 films.
The comedian’s monologue “Two Indias,” which was presented at the John F. Kennedy Centre in Washington, DC, in 2021, caused a great deal of controversy. He explored the nation’s duality throughout the monologue, touching on issues like the reaction to COVID-19, air pollution, farmer unrest, cricket, and rape incidents.
Vir and actors Shefali Shah and Jim Sarbh were chief guests at a recent edition of The Indian Express Adda. Speaking on the occasion, he opened up about stand-up comedy and the role it plays.
“My role was designed to help people see big stars as human and to humanise kings for their people. Please don’t take offence at me for pointing out the flaws in society. Japanese people make gold look beautiful by filling in the gaps. Here, that is what we are doing.
Vir, Shefali, and Jim added a dash of Indian glitz to the opening cocktail party of the 51st International Emmy Awards in New York. The trio stole the show with their stylish choices as they honoured their Indian heritage on this special day.
