Lawyers aren't usually funny people but Juhi Parmar has been raising laughs as Chanda in Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai, a courtroom comedy |
How do women comedians go about the humour game? According to Irani, female comedians should not be too aggressive in their body language. She says: "I don't want to believe that women are genetically incapable of being funny. A good script and perfect timing are all it takes to make the punches effective."
Meanwhile, actress Juhi Parmar, who's playing Chanda in Yeh Chanda Kanoon Hai ' a courtroom comedy on SAB TV ' feels that comedy comes naturally to her. Parmar who played the iconic bahu in Kumkum on Star Plus a few years back was desperate for a change in image. "Since I am known to have an inherent witty side, I was keen to try comic roles," she says. Before doing this serial, Parmar was adjudged the winner of stand-up comedy show Comedy Circus 2 (Sony) along with co-actor Vijay Pawar.
So are they willing to do more comedies in future? While Parmar is looking forward to doing more comedy shows in future, Dhawan is at ease essaying light-hearted roles. And like Kawatra says: "The market for female-oriented comedy shows is gradually opening up."
It only needs to be seen whether female comedians can continue to tickle people's funny bones and grab eyeballs.
