You
know
what's
funny?
The
fact
that
I
compared
Cyrus
Sahukar's
humour
to
that
of
Jeremy
Clarkson's
in
the
beginning
of
the
interview
and
almost
more
than
half
way
into
our
talk,
Sahukar
comes
up
with,
"I
never
knew
how
to
drive
a
car.
But
the
tangible
thing
I
learnt
from
Aisha
was
just
that." Found
it
funny?
No?
Did
you
miss
the
joke?
Leave
it
then.
But
that's
what
describes
Cyrus
Sahukar.
He
has
plenty
of
reasons
to
be
cheerful.
To
have
one
successful
career
in
Bollywood
might
be
considered
fortunate,
but
to
have
two
at
the
same
time
is
either
an
anomaly
or
sheer
genius.
He
is
an
actor
and
a
comedian.
Take
that!
After
talking
to
Cyrus
for
nearly
fifteen
minutes,
I
found
out
that
comedy
is
not
science.
After
years
of
practising
the
dark
arts
of
making
people
laugh,
the
only
theory
one
can
come
up
with
is:
'There's
just
something
funny
about
a
guy
standing
on
a
street,
yelling.'
Sahukar's
famed
sense
of
humour
was
so
much
in
evidence
after
he
joined
MTV,
that
you
sometimes
question
whether
he
is
in
the
wrong
profession
doing
the
right
things
or
vice
versa.
Well,
this
special
correspondent
finds
out
just
that
and
more
from
the
sane
mind
of
Cyrus
Sahukar.
Insane,
isn't
it?
Friendship
and
casting
My
friendship
with
Sonam
has
nothing
to
do
with
my
casting
in
Aisha.
Yes,
it
does
help
because
I
am
working
with
her
again
after
Delhi-6.
I've
been
around
for
a
while
now.
Sonam
didn't
know
I
was
cast
until
a
month.
I
was
cast
immediately
after
the
release
of
Delhi-6.
I
met
the
director,
Rajshree
Ojha
and
my
producer,
Rhea
Kapoor.
They
were
the
ones
who
decided
on
my
casting.
I
went,
auditioned
and
got
the
role.
It
was
a
process
which
everyone
follows
in
our
industry.
Delhi-6
and
Aisha
I
am
very
happy
because
I
always
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
any
project,
be
it
radio,
television
or
films.
Its
pure
luck
that
I
am
working
with
Sonam
again
and
I've
seen
her
change
physically,
emotionally
and
visually
for
Aisha.
It's
working
good
for
both
of
us
I
guess.
The
beautiful
girls
of
Aisha
Sonam
is
an
incredibly
gifted
and
a
gracious
actress.
She
works
really
hard
on
other
people
also
(laughs).
Sonam
is
very
beautiful.
That's
pretty
evident
when
you
actually
meet
her
in
person
more
than
see
her
on
the
front
covers.
But
it
just
wasn't
about
Sonam
Kapoor.
All
the
three
girls
are
beautiful
and
are
different
from
each
other.
Ira
has
grown
up
around
theatre
because
of
her
mother
and
aunt.
Amrita,
who
is
just
doing
her
first
film
is
bringing
in
a
lot
of
freshness
and
Sonam,
well,
she
comes
from
a
film
family.
Not
to
forget,
Rhea
Kapoor.
She
is
one
of
the
youngest
and
the
most
beautiful
producers
of
our
country
right
now.
The
handsome
Anil
Kapoor
He
is
handsome,
isn't
he?
I
didn't
have
lengthy
interactions
with
Mr.
Kapoor
on
Aisha.
It
was
always
Rhea
Kapoor
who
was
involved
from
the
start
on
this
ambitious
film.
Anil
Kapoor
was
there
on
certain
days
of
the
shooting
and
that
was
very
good
for
us
because
we
all
know
that
no
one
from
the
cast
or
the
crew
has
the
experience
Mr.
Kapoor
has.
I
had
a
lot
of
questions
about
my
character
for
which
I
wasn't
finding
an
answer
to.
I
remember
that
I
was
really
confused
and
I
did
have
my
answers
from
him.
That
opened
a
lot
of
my
head
space
because
of
his
vast
repertoire
in
understanding
characters
since
three
decades.
Comic
timings
Now
this
is
tough.
Believe
me,
to
make
people
laugh
is
the
hardest
thing
I've
ever
done.
I
realised
and
noticed
a
few
things
about
me
and
my
friend
Cyrus
Broacha
that
we
being
some
mad
people
who
are
let
loose
don't
work
for
us
always.
We
need
to
be
tamed
and
toned
down.
If
we
are
left
alone,
we
go
on
our
own
different
path.
We've
done
about
fifty
shows
together.
When
we
look
at
each
other,
we
see
our
eyes
watering
because
of
continuous
laughter.
But
the
truth
and
the
reality
was
that
we
were
the
only
ones
who
were
laughing
on
our
own
jokes.
The
audiences
didn't
find
it
funny.
Now
that's
comic
timing
(laughs).
Television
and
films:
I
really
haven't
established
myself
into
any
particular
medium,
be
it
television
or
radio
or
stage
shows.
Television
is
an
unbelievable
a
huge
medium,
so
is
films
and
radio.
And
for
me,
who
has
come
from
the
television
background,
thanks
to
MTV,
I've
now
understood
the
medium
a
lot
more.
I
joined
MTV
when
I
was
eighteen
years
old.
Today,
I
have
learnt
a
lot
more
and
I
am
trying
to
understand
the
film
world
slowly
but
surely.
I
often
ask
questions
to
my
colleagues
from
the
film
fraternity
to
which
I
don't
know
the
answers
to
and
I
learn
a
lot
more
from
them
about
the
medium.
Abhay
Deol
He
is
one
of
my
favourite
people
actually.
I
don't
think
I've
liked
someone
so
much.
I
have
not
missed
a
single
Abhay
Deol
film.
That's
the
strange
truth.
He
is
one
of
the
most
interesting
people
to
watch
out
for
in
our
films.
He
is
doing
stuff
that
I'd
love
to
watch
as
a
viewer.
I
got
a
lot
of
time
which
I
could
spend
with
him
and
understanding
what
he
is
all
about.
What
I
like
about
him
is
the
fact
that
he
has
opened
himself
up
as
an
actor.
You
can
go
out
for
a
coffee
with
Abhay,
you
can
joke
around
with
him
and
he
does
his
own
thing.
Abhay
is
a
kind
of
actor
that
a
lot
of
people
would
aspire
to
be
like.
Comedy
and
mark
of
respect
to
Ravi
Baswani
It's
sad
to
know
Ravi
Baswani
is
no
more.
We
will
miss
him.
Jaane
Bhi
Do
Yaaron
is
one
of
my
favourite
films
of
all
time.
I
really
liked
it.
Comedy
now,
has
to
evolve.
I
am
a
big
fan
of
variety
and
I
like
a
lot
of
that.
I
wish
our
films
had
a
little
more
variety.
The
big
explosion
happened
fifty
years
ago
and
I'm
sure
in
five
to
six
years,
things
will
open
up.
Any
kind
of
variety
in
comedy
will
help
our
films.
If
I
was
to
be
a
part
of
Jaane
Bhi
Do
Yaaron
in
today's
time,
I'd
pick
the
role
of
Ahuja
portrayed
by
Om
Puri.
