Last holiday

 

It was a work trip-cum-holiday a few months ago to Britain, France and Spain.

 

Excellent meal

 

Initially, when we used to go to the US for shows, we used to look out for Indian restaurants and food, and it was very difficult to get. So, in our group we had a Gujarati gentleman who used to prepare typical Gujarati food for us which we relished.

 

Recent buy

 

I usually don’t remember where I bought what since I keep travelling so often but in recent memory, I bought a hi-end mobile phone during one such foreign tour.

 

Getting adventurous

 

During the shooting of Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon in New Zealand, I tried bungee jumping.

Listening to

 

I generally listen to Bollywood songs but my preferences keep changing from time to time.

 

Reading these days

 

I enjoy reading books by Sharad Joshi. Many of his stories have been adapted into serials and Bollywood movies.

 

Moment of peace

 

I hardly get a moment of peace as I’m multi-tasking most of the time due to my busy schedule.

 

Must visit

 

I have been around the globe but one city I would like to visit is Istanbul.

 

My mantra

 

Since I’m a comedian, my mantra in life is to laugh and make other people laugh with me.

 

We do find him hilarious, don’t we?
