One of the finalists Bhagwaan Maan from Punjab is already a star in his own right as he has released over 20 audio and video comedy cassettes and his jokes revolve around political satires ,issue based social evils and the likes and has also done various stage shows abroad. Not to mention he has tried his hand at acting also with his appearance on Jugnoo Mast Mast,a comedy show on Zee Punjabi. Maan says with a straight face that "I am like an aeroplane and Star one is the runway , now it is up to me on how I operate the engine." Another contestant Ashaan Qureshi from Madhya Pradesh has got his share of fame and has been doing well by sending people fits of laughter with his stage show comedian stunts for the last 20 years. His jokes mainly focus on political satires and social issues.
