  • Aadar Malik: The Multifaceted Star Redefining Comedy & Music in India
    Mar 31 2025

    Born into Mumbai’s illustrious Malik family on October 13, 1987, Aadar Malik—son of composer Abu Malik and nephew of Bollywood legend Anu Malik—forged a unique path as a comedian, actor, and musical virtuoso. Trained at London’s Trinity College and holding a Master’s in Classical Acting from the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, Aadar’s early theatre stardom (beginning at age 4) evolved into pioneering India’s musical comedy scene. From viral YouTube parodies like "Bhnchd Sutta Cancer Ho Gaya" (millions of views) to co-founding comedy collectives Schitzengiggles and SnG Comedy, his blend of original music and wit in Standup The Musical (2016) on Amazon Prime cemented his legacy. Transitioning seamlessly into films (Katti Batti, Comedy Couple) and web series (Modern Love Mumbai, XXX: Uncensored), Aadar’s versatility shines, while his mentorship on Comicstaan highlights his industry influence. Married to actress Aparna Bajpai, he balances blockbuster roles (Kanneda 2025) with overcoming stage fright through acting—a journey from Mumbai’s theatres to global acclaim. Dive into his YouTube channel "The Aadar Guy" for laughs, music, and a masterclass in innovation!

  • Eid Mubarak Special: Mohammed Hussain 🎤 MTV Reunion | ‘Shaadi Shud I?’ | #Officiallysane
    Mar 26 2025

    Mohammed Hussain, a Mumbai-based stand-up comedian and writer, is celebrated for his engaging storytelling and observational humor, delivered in Hindi with a blend of anecdotal and dark comedy. Born in Karnataka to a Gujarati family, Hussain has been a staple in India’s comedy circuit since 2017, collaborating with giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hotstar on sketches, live shows, and promotional campaigns. His YouTube channel, Officiallysane, showcases his stand-up performances, including viral bits like his humorous take on trekking to Everest Base Camp. In 2023, Hussain launched his solo show Shaadi Shud I?, a witty exploration of marriage and relationships inspired by his own journey—engaged at 19 and married at 25 after a nine-year relationship. Expanding his creative range, he joined comedians Mohammed Anas and Vineeth Srinivasan in September 2024 for Reel-ing It In!, a live sketch and parody experiment. Beyond comedy, Hussain’s three-year stints as Zee Entertainment’s Assistant Sales Manager and a scriptwriter at Insider.in highlight his versatility. In a candid 2021 interview with National Herald, he voiced concerns over India’s socio-political climate impacting artistic freedom, even contemplating a move to Canada. Addressing fan queries, Hussain humorously tackles topics like Ramzan’s patience paradox, intra-community dynamics (referencing unedited YouTube cuts), potential collaborations with his wife beyond reels, and modern arranged marriage advice—playfully nodding to peer Mohammed Anas’ role as a “Vijaykar” (matchmaker). With sharp wit and relatable narratives, Hussain continues to push boundaries, making him a must-watch in India’s evolving comedy landscape. Explore his work for laughs, insights, and a fresh take on life’s absurdities!
