Скачать или смотреть Inside Vir Das’ Mind: Comedy, Controversy & Survival | The Faye D'Souza Show

He made headlines across the world with Two Indias. He faced FIRs, threats, outrage — and standing ovations abroad. But what did that moment really change for him?

In this episode, Vir Das sits down with Faye D’Souza to talk about life after controversy — the backlash, the unexpected benefits, and why he believes speaking up is the only way through.

Vir opens up about how he writes risky jokes, what he’s learned from getting into trouble (and out of it), and why he’d rather be on stage than waiting on a film set. He also shares stories behind his new specials, his first time as a director, and the comedians he believes are India’s future.

Raw, funny, and honest — this is Vir Das as you’ve never heard him before.
