I never want to be called the funniest Indian female comedian that exists. I feel like I can go head-to-head with the best white, male comedy writers that are out there. Why would I want to self-categorize myself into a smaller group than I'm able to compete in? ↗

The pressure to being a comedian is being funny, but I've given that up, so there is no pressure whatsoever. ↗
