In a country like India where emotions often take precedence over humour, it’s not uncommon for comedians and jokesters to struggle to get a laugh out of their audience. This sentiment was echoed by Kangana Ranaut in an old interview, where she revealed that her attempts at humour had often fallen flat. Her comments caught the attention of Deepika Padukone, who teased her saying that maybe her jokes weren’t funny enough.
While Kangana was initially taken aback by Deepika’s comment, she eventually laughed it off. However, her statement about Indian audiences not valuing humour still rings true to this day. It’s not uncommon for comedians to be met with silence or even hostility, as people are quick to take offense or see humour as something frivolous.
Despite this, it’s heartening to see that Indian women like Deepika and Kangana are standing tall and representing their country with grace and confidence. Recently, Kangana praised Deepika for her appearance at the Oscars, commending her for carrying the nation’s image on her delicate shoulders.
However, Kangana’s past criticisms of Deepika’s work on mental health awareness and her film Gehraiyaan have led some to question the authenticity of her praise. In response, Kangana stated that she simply follows the principles of Krishna/Dharma, which dictate that giving undeserving credit is a sin, but not giving deserving credit is an even greater sin.
Overall, Kangana’s comments highlight the importance of humour and its place in Indian society. While it may not always be appreciated or understood, it’s important to remember that laughter is often the best medicine, and that a good sense of humour can help us navigate the ups and downs of life with grace and resilience.
