Bollywood
comedian
Johnny
Lever's
daughter
Jamie
J
is
all
set
to
tickle
your
funny
bone
as
a
contestant
in
Comedy
Circus
Ke
Mahabali.
Her
first
episode
will
air
on
July
19
on
Sony
TV
channel.
The
25-year-old
said
that
she
went
for
an
audition
like
any
other
participant
instead
of
letting
her
popular
father
pull
strings.
"I
went
for
an
audition.
They
(the
selection
board)
liked
my
work
and
called
me
to
attend
a
three-day
workshop.
It
was
a
part
of
selection
process
during
which
they
tested
me.
Then
they
finally
selected
me.
It
had
nothing
to
do
with
me
being
his
(Johnny's)
daughter," Jamie
told.
She
will
be
seen
sharing
platform
with
other
stand-up
comedians
like
Bharti
Singh
and
Kapil
Sharma
and
Jamie
is
excited.
"They
are
big
and
it
would
be
amazing
to
share
screen
space
with
them,"
said
the
budding
comedian.
Jamie
has
completed
her
Masters
in
marketing
communication
from
London,
but
being
on
stage
always
thrilled
her.
"I
did
plays
in
college.
I
realised
that
whenever
I
went
on
stage,
it
made
me
happy.
So
instead
of
continuing
with
marketing,
I
decided
to
do
something
that
gives
me
joy,"
she
said.
The
trained
singer
can
mimic
actresses
like
Sridevi
and
Deepika
Padukone,
but
she
is
confident
about
doing
male
roles
too.
"I've
done
mimicry
of
singers
like
Kailash
Kher
and
Bappi
Lahiri.
I
know
how
to
modulate
my
voice,
so
it's
easy
for
me
to
do
a
male
role,"
said
Jamie,
who
is
constantly
guided
by
her
father.
"He
tells
me
how
to
be
on
stage
and
be
spontaneous.
He
points
out
my
weaknesses
and
strengths,"
said
Johnny's
daughter,
who
told
her
father
about
her
inclination
towards
comedy
in
2009.
At
present,
Jamie
is
occupied
with
this
project
till
the
time
she
gets
evicted.
But
in
future,
she
would
like
to
do
a
show
that
is
funny,
yet
conveys
a
message.
"I
admire
International
talk
show
hosts
Oprah
Winfrey
and
Ellen
DeGeneres.
Maybe,
20
years
down
the
line
I
will
host
a
show
that
is
funny
and
also
has
a
message,"
said
Jamie.
