- In an interview, when asked why he quit his job to choose comedy, he said,
I think most Indians choose a major like engineering but later realize that their interests lie elsewhere. It was the same in my case. While studying in IIT, I realized that I was more into jokes than engineering. Later, I thought about it seriously and made a change. ”
