Actor-comedian-writer Vir Das has something new for his fans! The comedian decided to walk his fans through what the next phase of what our quarantine would look like, with a pinch of humor.
Focusing on the bright side of being at home, Das in his new series discusses everything from balconies to our warped political allegiances and how irrelevant it has become currently. Taking the darkest thoughts going on in people’s heads and turning them into something funny, he attempts to lighten the situation beautifully. The show comes a day after he asked on Twitter if some comedy is ill-timed right now? After receiving an overwhelming response on social media from fans and followers, he decided to go forward with the release of the video. To begin with, the topic of the first episode of the show is, "What if Coronavirus gets worse and worse?" due to the current situation across the globe. After every 10 days, Vir will be releasing new episodes on his social media platforms. After all, the best way to get through something grim is with a wide smile and hope in your heart.
Vir says, “Staying at home for the last few days has been testing for everyone. This is my way of adding some laughs into their lives. Laughter opens up people to hope and that’s what we need in this phase. I have taken everything I have been hearing lately - from nanis and dadis claiming that Coronavirus is a result of you not following their nuskas to people telling us how we are quarantining comfortably when many in the country can’t. It’s our attempt to put some perspective in people on how much better we have it, and in a funny fashion tell them to practise social distancing, stay home, be safe. As for the emotional distress, let’s laugh a little - shall we?”
The brand new show releases on Vir Das official YouTube channel and on Vir's IGTV.
