TOI: Comedy with Message-Shailesh

COMEDY WITH A MESSAGE

Tanya Datta


Shailesh Lodha,best known for his role in Tarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah,says his stand-up acts always have a hidden message.I have been performing since I was very young.Its heartening that my style of comedy has been appreciated the world over.
Calling himself an emotional guy,he goes all out while preparing for his acts and doesnt believe in going vulgar in his acts,You will notice that a lot of stand-up comics take aim at people or the system and make it uncomfortable for several folks.I completely avoid that.I think real stand-up comedy is making people laugh just by words rather than playing foolishly with words, he says.
So how was his experience shooting for Comedy Ka MahaMuqabala My experience has been superb.There are a lot of things that I have learnt from the people there and hope the same for them.In shows like these,you get a chance to potray an array of characters which you otherwise wouldnt have a chance to portray, he says.
