“I never shoot for a film telling myself that I have to make people lau...” — Rajpal Yadav Quote

I never shoot for a film telling myself that I have to make people laugh. I can't even do stand-up comedy.

The atmosphere in my house wasn't of the creative kind at all. No one in my family is remotely connected with films.

I don't like the tag of comedy. I think I have done all kind of roles - negative, serious and entertaining.

If I had to worry about whether I'm ugly or short, I wouldn't get anywhere.

I didn't want to do an item role as a Sikh in 20 years of my career. Once, in 'Chor Machaaye Shor,' Bobby Deol and I disguised ourselves as sardars to save ourselves, but I refused many other roles.

I took a stand-up comedy class because I'd always wanted to.

At Evergreen you can create your own major and your own classes. So I actually studied stand-up comedy.

I can do more than just stand-up comedy, and the only way I'll be able to show that is if I do it myself. Because nobody trusts that I can do it.

'Stand-Up Planet' was Anthony Bourdain-meets-stand-up comedy.

You know, stand-up comedy is where I pretty much started out.
