Bharati Singh… There are great talents in people here and everybody is working hard to express it in the best way possible. This is a contest and there is no fun without competition.
MY INSPIRATION…..
Sugandha Mishra…I always wanted to do something different and I realized my potentials on the mimicry front. So I started looking for every opportunity that I could make use of.
Rajbir Kaur … From my childhood I have been very funny and talkative. I always believe not to worry come what may and see to it that people around me are laughing all the time. Slowly I realised my scope for acting and with God's grace I am blessed with a good platform to prove my potentials.
Bharati Singh…. People find me funny and my friends are the ones who gave me the push. I have taken part in lot of competitions and skits and used to always stand first. So I thought why not tell the world that I have the stuff.
MY TAKE ON COMEDY…
Sugandha Mishra… According to me, comedy is the toughest art. Making others laugh is not a cakewalk. Most of us are very emotional and people are forgetting to laugh. But only comedy has the power to soothe any state of mind.
Rajbir Kaur … Laughter is the best medicine. I have been doing theatre for 18 years now and comedy is a feel good thing for me. I realized that I have the capabilities for it and decided to choose this field as my profession. I am looking at establishing myself as a stand up comedian.
Bharati Singh… Comedy is not something that can be learnt but it is a God's gift. And I am glad that God has blessed me with it.
THE CHALLEMGE…
Sugandha Mishra… is the competition and the pressure to give your best.
Rajbir Kaur … Within the time that we are given, we need to give our best to make others' laugh and cannot afford to be silent at any point Laughter has to come naturally and cannot be forced and getting it out is where the pressure is but that is why we are here to work
Bharati Singh… Proving yourself in front of a huge audience especially big artists and making them laugh is not a cakewalk
WOMEN ARE BETTER THAN MEN…
People are under the wrong notion that women are meant only from glamour but that is sadly false. And we are out here to break that.
Rajbir Kaur … of course! Why not? Women are closer to reality and good at each and every field. Just that there are few people who don't let them grow and women are curbed of the opportunities because of that. But if given a chance (like we are given), I am sure the world will know our talents.
Bharati Singh… Definitely! Women are doing well but they need to be given the chance to show their talents.
MY FAVOURITE JUDGE…
Sugandha Mishra… Both of them are good but I like Navjot Singh Sidhu because he speaks really well. He is always filled with energy and I feel the comfort level with him.
Rajbir Kaur… I like the judges and respect their decision and I have nobody specific to choose.
Bharati Singh… I admire Sidhu because of the comfort level he brings to the platform.
MY FAVOURITE COMEDIAN…
/>Sugandha Mishra… Paresh Rawal
Rajbir Kaur … Raju Srivastav
Bharati Singh… Jhonny Lever
ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10, I RATE MY COMEDY…
Sugandha Mishra… I give myself 8 because I am not perfect and there is a lot more to learn.
Rajbir Kaur… I strongly believe in my capabilities and give myself a rating of 10.
Bharati Singh… I never feel satisfied about my learning and what I know is nothing compared to what is still to learn. So I give myself a rating of 9.
