Even as the pandemic continues to cast its shadow of stress, Zee TV is attempting to lighten up the country’s collective mood by offering its viewers an escape from all the stress via the route of rib-tickling comedy through its popular reality show, Zee Comedy Show. While the show has helped every Indian family unwind on their couch with some of India’s top comedians making them LOL their stress away, this weekend, we will see the newest sensation of the industry Pratik Gandhi join us as a special guest on the show. While the actor made his appearance to promote his upcoming debut film ‘Bhavai’, he also shared some interesting stories with everyone present on set. Where on one hand, the actor’s enigmatic personality and cool swag will mesmerize the audience, on the other hand it will be the ten comedians of Zee Comedy Show who will come together as Team Hasaayenge to make each one of us laugh out loud!
While the hilarious acts put up by all the comedians coupled with the witty reactions and comments of our Laughing Buddha Farah Khan left everyone in splits during the shoot, it was Dr. Sanket Bhosale, Mubeen and Gaurav’s interesting re-enactment of Amitabh Bachchan’s Sooryavansham that made everyone roll in laughter. The trio dressed aptly in their own Amitabh Bachchan avatar took over the stage and indeed entertained each and every person including the guest of the evening, Pratik Gandhi. In fact, absolutely thrilled by their performance, Pratik also went on to appreciate their work while revealing interesting incidents from his time as a theatre artist. The actor also revealed how he was rejected during the initial phase when he was trying his luck on television.
As Pratik Gandhi revealed, “When I was working in theatre, there was no digital sound back then and in one hilarious incident someone from my team was supposed to be a murderer. He had a gun in hand but the sound didn’t come at the given cue, so he improvised by picking up a knife. However, the sound of the firing shot came at the exact moment when he enacted the killing scenes with a knife, the whole auditorium erupted in laughter. Although, it was supposed to be a serious act but due to the technical glitch it turned out to be a hilarious one. Incidents like these make me nostalgic, I had a great time during my theatre days and often miss them. Apart from theatre, I have tried my luck in television and I have given numerous auditions but was always told that I am not fit for television. I would say that rejection has helped me.”
While Pratik Gandhi’s revelations will surely grab your attention, you cannot miss the comic acts by all the artistes of Zee Comedy Show during this weekend’s episode.
