Making people laugh is no joke. But STAR One embarked upon producing The Great Indian Laughter Challenge that brought funny people like Sunil Pal, Raju Shrivastav, Ahsaan Qureshi, Bhagwant Mann, Parag Kansara and Navin Prabhakar into limelight within a short span. Its tremendous success prompted the channel to launch The Great Indian Laughter Challenge II Laughter Ka Doosra Dose and unearth more comic talent. Screen catches up with Navjot Singh Sidhu, one of the jury and the contestants who were runners up in the earlier show for brief Q & A sessions. They were participating in the 'Wild Card Round'. Navjot Singh Sidhu What does The Great Indian Laughter Challenge II... set to achieve?
Standing under the spotlight and performing to a discerning panel of judges and a houseful audience is a daunting task. The ordeal to make people laugh is the challenge in this show. How are you finding the new contestants?
They are all worth their merit. People had voted for them. All said and done they abound in consistency and have the winning spirit.

Doesn't the second instalment of the show lack the punch of the first one?
Did you know that the first show was being launched? It grew as more and more people fell in love with it. And then who can forget his first love? First of anything will always be compared.

How should one conquer nervousness?
If nervous to an extent and alert at the same time one will definitely do well. If you are able to conquer fear you are bound to be a champion.

What is success to you?
I attribute success to being accountable to oneself and not to others. Then no one can stop one from climbing up the ladder of success. It is said that you are not charging a penny to appear in this show?
Everything cannot be weighed by money; relations also count. It is the feelings (bhawana) that matter. What is your prime motive in life?
There is no permanent name and fame than giving happiness to mankind. It is my prime endeavour to give happiness to mankind.

How do you feel when you hear jokes being cracked on Sardars?
Chaand ke upar agar koi thookhe toh kya use daag lag sakta hai?
If more of us believed that - instead of taking 'offence' easily when the jokes are on us - the world would resound more often with laughter.
