How difficult is it to adopt the Punjabi background?

Well, a lot of people think I am from Kashmir because of the name but I belong to Indore, and I am from central India. I think Punjabi is the easiest culture to adopt as Punjabis are everywhere, as I am not the one who only dances to Honey Singh’s song and enjoys Tandoori food, we are indeed half Punjabi!

How do you see the Television content these days?

Honestly, the problem with these days on Television is that boys are either shown as super rich or not that well to do with a lot of attitudes shown.

Since you do podcasts, what kind of appreciation do you get from your fans?

I would love to say a big thank you to the fans I sometimes really get surprised when people say that my shows over podcasts did a better job than Koffee With Karan.

Good luck, Shardul!
