“The concept of putting comedy in the romance has a certain lightheartedness to it, which is exactly what we need right now. A bit of love and lots of laughter, that’s what Comedy Couple is about. On a realistic note, there is no relationship that is perfect, but it does have its bittersweet moments which we need to cherish," says Saqib

Shweta Basu Prasad says, “The pandemic has taught us that we should take our actions seriously but at the same time not so seriously. Just sit back, laugh, relax and enjoy the moment and appreciate the life that we have. Zoya and Deep are exactly like that, living in the moment and living for themselves,” says Shweta Basu Prasad.

The film revolves around the comedy couple duo who are also real-life lovers.  They are a laugh-riot on stage, with their sharp and witty take on a variety of issues like finding romance in the city while grappling with the same problems off-stage. When one of their comedy acts go viral, their professional and personal lives collide, resulting in uncomfortable truths and bittersweet realizations, which they must navigate to make sense of their relationship.

Comedy Couple premieres on October 21 on ZEE5
