People think I am funny all the time. But I am not. I am serious, too. Also, I enjoy serious, dramatic films.

People expect comedy from me but I am not just a stand-up comedian anymore. I act on stage, host 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' and also conduct interviews on my show. I have grown as a person and an artiste.

People tell me that my appearance in real life is better than on-screen. Perhaps people think I am exactly like the characters I play on TV.

I am always scared before going on stage; this is the fear which makes me do well.

I am an Air Force brat who grew up at various Air Force bases. I changed six schools in about five years and got stability for the first time when I was sent to a boarding school, Rishi Valley. I lived outside of a cantonment-style living and was among an eclectic mix of kids and got exposed to books and other things.

I enjoy cooking for people I am close to.
