Comedian Vir Das has said that he will continue to do his job, which is to make people laugh, even as his monologue I come from two Indias delivered in the United States sparked a controversy in his home country, reported NDTV on Monday.
“I think laughter is a celebration and when laughter and applause fill up a room...that’s a moment of pride,” Das said during an interview with the news channel. “I think that any Indian who has a sense of humour, or understands satire, or watches my entire video, knows that that’s what happened in that room.”
In the 6.53-minute video clip, performed at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the comedian had described his version of “two Indias” that exists in his home country.
“I come from an India where we laugh so loudly that you can hear us through the walls, and yet...I come from an India where we break down the walls of a comedy club because you can hear laughter inside,” he says during the performance, delivered on November 13.
