  • “I belong nowhere but the stage. It’s the only place where I feel fearless and I feel at home.”
    These are the words of an artist who represents the face of Indian Comedy at a global stage. An unconventional face and learned mind, who broke into Bollywood with a shot in the dark, now travels universally with comedy as his first love and protector.
    His jokes have struck chords through New York and Chicago to Kashmir and 'Andheria Mod ki Chudail' in Delhi. Spending his early childhood in Africa, then in India and an avid Shakespeare lover, Vir is a gem of a storyteller. His stories are personal and yet blend with the global standard.
    The first Indian comedian to land up a Netflix Special, and how he'll never be an insider in Bollywood to what is his stand on his responsibility towards his country, Vir has spoken his heart out.
    Get ready with some tissues, because you are going to cry out of sheer laughter.
    Here's, presenting you a comic, an actor, a writer and big time controversial with 'Two Indias' - The artist who has mastered the craft of humor and represents the billions - Vir Das!

      First of all, the way he delivered his comedy is not funny to me. And second he is performing this in front of foreigners where perception of a country matters. Don't be childish supporting this by saying what he says is correct. If he really wants his comedy piece to influence he should have done it in India. If he had done it in foreign then it is just for MONEY. Accept this reality.

      It's a very Indian thing, I understand. "Log kya kahenge".
      Achha waise, monologue aur routine mein farak pata hai? Nahi pata hoga. Nahi toh aesi baatein na karte. It wasn't supposed to be fucking funny.
      By the way, he's the richest Indian comic. He doesn't have say anything in motivation of money.
      Chutiya tu hai jo ek bande ka career uski 7 minute ki clip se judge kar raha hai. Itta hi passionate hai toh dekh Vir Das For India Netflix pe. Uske baad kehna himmat ho toh Vir Das ne India ki bezzti ki.
      Saala khud ki toh aukaat nahi koi aaye usko bura bolne.
      It's hard you know, jabb duniya bhar mein aapko ek patriotic comedian ke roop mein jaane aur aapke apne hi desh ke log aapko terrorist tak kehdein.
      Aur haan, perception of the country matters, toh uske baaki video dekh ke yehi baat bolo. Aur waise bhi US ki audience itni chutiya nahi hai ki ek 7 min ke monologue se kisi country ko define karein. Monologue dhang se suna bhi hai kabhi? Usmein uski tone saaf thhi ki hummein kharaabi hai toh hum kaam kar rahe hain sudhaarne ka. And he's proud of his country. Aur yeh mat bolna ki usne jhoot bola, kayi research papers, articles, incidents mil jayenge uski ek ek baat sach saabit karne mein.

Does he not view Sikhs as Rational thinking people? Comedy targeted towards a specific community is Discriminatory, he can’t pretend to be an intellectual and be so ignorant about an entire culture at the same time.

      Abb, usne sahi bola toh saale Vir Das pe kya gussa ho raha hai?
      Khud se ho. Sarkar se ho. System se ho. Kha Kasam ki aaj ke baad pakistan se match haarne ke baad kisi ko player ko pakistan bhejne ki baat nahi karega Naa kisi ko karne dega. Khaa Kasam ki koi neta women safety pe vote mangega toh usse sawaal karega ki abhi tak kuchh kyun nahi hua uss baare mein aur baaki logon ko bhi jaagruk karega. Khaa Kasam independent media se hi news dekhega biki hui godi media se nahi jo har cheez mein hindu muslim karte hain. Khaa Kasam jo neta faaltu ki censorship karte hain unhein condemn karega. Khaa Kasam sawaal poochhne waalon ko anti national nahi bolega na kisi ko bolne dega.
      Abey, Vir Das started a debate. Abb yeh humare haath mein hai ki use galat saabit karein cheezein sudhaar ke, yaa use bura bhala bolke usko sahi saabit kar dein.

    So many jokes by Vir Das but nothing can beat calling Siddharth a "conventionally attractive alpha male" and R Madhavan "normal"! Are you kidding me!!!
