What inspired you to make the transition from stand-up comedy to Bollywood?
As an artist, I always like to explore new role and definitely acting was in my mind since quite some time. . I wanted to do a Bollywood movie for quite some time but I always wanted to debut with a non-funny movie because people have already seen funny side of me so I was very keen to do a serious movie so that people can see a different side and when I get a chance to work under the direction of Sudhir Mishra Sir then it's like a dream come true and the role is very appealing to me so all these things helps me to debut with #Afwaah!

Not a thing is pretentious about Appurv Gupta—the globally renowned stand-up comedian and angel investor. On being asked ‘why Hinglish?’ during an interaction with YS Life, he had a genuine, no-nonsense response ready.
“Not Hinglish,” he corrected. “I do full-time Hindi shows. I studied in a government school, and I was not as fluent in English.”
Appurv made a name for himself in —a time when stand-up comedy was still budding in the country and was limited to the likes of AIB and TVF. But even after a decade, he continues to be relevant in the Indian standup comedy scene.
