Cyrus Broacha

I have the right credentials to be nominated to the Rajya Sabha.

I realised that a television show on political lampoon was one genre that was missing.

Every night, I say goodnight to the kids like Rajesh Khanna, muah muah, two kisses, say goodnight to my wife, and every night, I'd go to the recreation room and watch cricket with two old men.

I was named after the great emperor Cyrus as my father, Farokh Broacha, was a great admirer of the Persian emperor. Continuing the tradition, I have named my son after Mikhail Gorbachev, someone whom I admire. He gave his people freedom.

There's little money in theatre.

Popular and good and bad is not the same thing.

Amongst Indian celebrities, Shah Rukh is a great one to interview. He's a brilliant T.V. anchor, a people person, and enjoys talking.

At the end of the day, I know that I make my living by dressing up, fooling around, playing pranks and giving people a good time. I am enjoying the ride.

That is the problem with comedy in India. Spoofing sells. Come up with original comedy about the hilarious nation we are, with funny accents and odd rituals, and we get into trouble.

The first rule of comedy should be, you must be very lazy. Whoever works should be immediately removed.

That is how our marriage is working so well. My secret of happiness is keeping my contact to the minimum.

I lift quite heavy weights, but unfortunately no one believes me.
