<span class=normal> My first stand up was at the India Habitat Centre that was sold out <br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Ive done gigs on cruise liners between Houston, Caribbean and Mexico to pubs to lots of places. Didnt get paid but everything was free. Food to women (laughs). Then Id go to London and do gigs at the local clubs. Then I came to Mumbai for my vacation where Vidyun Singh from the India Habitat Centre gave me a show that went sold out. She gave me a 120 seater hall to do stand up which eventually had to be a 580 seater because it got double booked. <br><br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> I left all my plates, luggage, chaddis like it was and never thought of going back to America <br><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>I again came down to Mumbai and I met Pradeep Guha, did a gig with him that had some eminent Bollywood personalities. There was the Bachchan family sitting right under my nose and I performed for the first time in front of Bollywood personalities. Some guy came to me after and offered me a show on their new channel that they were launching called Zoom. He called me at VT Station the next day. I walk into VT Station where this guy and Pradeep were waiting for me. I demanded a heavy pay for the show that was offered to me. They were OK with it. I came to Bandra by 11.30. Found an apartment by 1.30. Went to Delhi, packed my suitcase and came back to Mumbai in a week. I never went back to America after that. I had an apartment there for five years. I left all my plates, luggage, chaddis like it was and never thought of going back. The only time I went back was to shoot Badmaash Company. <br><br> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> A girl once told me that the only way shed sleep with me was on the stage <br> A girl once said to me, You are sexy, funny and good looking but the only way Id sleep with you is if it was on this stage. That was hilarious. I am in one of those professions where who you see on stage could not be further from who I am. I mean, I am an a******e, I am really rude, offensive and a b*****d, filthy, vulgar, abrasive, etc etc. I think a lot of people whod actually hate me after the show would be my audience. But I am not just that guy. I am placid in real life. </span>
