Vir Das neatly balances his career as a stand-up comedian and actor

Vir Das is more popular as a stand-up comedian and also as an occasional actor in Bollywood. He obeys a clear cut strategy when it comes to balancing his two flourishing careers.

 In an interview with a news portal, he revealed the reason for which he kept away from movies last year. He said, “I have to balance both careers. Stand up (comedy) takes time, so when I act that should be an interesting role.”

We have seen Vir Das in brilliant comic performances in films like Delhi Belly, Go Goa Gone, Mastizaade and Badmaash Company.  Though he did not take up any of the movies last year, but he starred in black comedy web series Hasmukh.

On being asked about it, Vir said, “I think Hasmukh was an interesting thing to pursue because a film takes a long time. For me, it’s about finding a good character and telling a good story”.

Just a month back, Vir dropped his latest new comedy gig, titled “Outside In”, for which he created out of 30 virtual shows that he did during lockdown.
