COVID-19: Sharan talks about his work under the lockdown

Sharan says making people laugh is his business. Sharan wrote a note to his audience on Sunday on the occasion of World Laughter Day.

 
“Being a comedian, I would like to thank each and every one. It’s you people, who gave an opportunity to make you laugh/smile. I wish that laughter & smile remains on your faces forever” he tweeted
 
“Laughter is one of the best medicines at any given crisis and on behalf of all the comedians, I wanted to thank the audience for this journey,” he tells CE in an interview.
 
Sharan also spoke of what a serious job comedy actually is. “Though comedy might fall in the lighter genre, it is a serious job,” says Sharan.
 
Sharan spoke of how he never meant to define himself as a comedian. “I never came with a mindset of becoming either a comedian, villain, or hero. Honestly, it wasn’t me who chose to become a comedian, it is the industry, the directors, the producers who cast me as a comedian. Even though today, I am at the other end, as a hero, still people have to accept me for all my comedy act. I feel, here, I am blessed,” he says.
 
While talking about his work under the lockdown, he says he has been reading scripts. He says that the lockdown has given him the space to read more scripts and engage with them. “With my hectic schedule, I usually had filmmakers narrating the script to me, and it has been my habit to get involved in the character right from the time I start listening to the story. However, due to social distancing, I am not able to meet them in person, and that has got me into a lot of reading, which I am finding it interesting. Moreover, I am coming across unique scripts too,” says Sharan.
 
He also said that the lockdown has given him the opportunity to catch up on all the films he has missed out. “Shooting for films did not allow me to watch some good cinema. I have a big list, which is now getting smaller, but I still have many more to go. I am watching a film every alternate day, and I am going by what is recommended by my friends,” he says.
