“My career plan? It is like a BMC road — full of potholes, but I keep driving.”

That’s Vir Das for you - India’s most global comedian.
In this unfiltered episode of the Humans of Bombay podcast, Vir opens up like never before — about navigating hate, handling FIRs, staying rooted through fame, and what it takes to be the ‘funny guy’.

From his most famous ‘Two India’ set that sparked both outrage and admiration to how Indian comics are ruling the world, Vir takes us through the chaos, courage and clarity that shaped him.

We talk about:
Why he doesn’t care for pity, but is only interested in his audience and cash that comes in.
Fanboying over Zakir Khan & Jackie Shroff.
About the fear mindset in comedians.
About his upcoming projects.

This one’s a complete laughter riot — but it’s also a masterclass in standing your ground, owning your story, and turning every pothole into a punchline.
Watch till the end — because Vir Das doesn’t just make you laugh, he makes you think.
