01:14Bhai, main kaheen ka nahi raha,

01:20arre, humare dost aara hai bahar se.

01:25Aur, main jab bahar, idhar reh raha hota hoon,

01:27idhar wale mujhe apne nahi lagte.

01:29Kyuki idhar, yaar to, jo desi hote hain,

01:34Umm, aur jo desi thode, you know,

01:36idhar ke culture se adapt kare jaata hain,

01:38wo kuch zyada hi whitewashed hote hain.

01:47What is going on here?

01:49Is this a fish market?

01:51Nahi, wo, wo dhar hai.

01:53Yeh, yeh chicken wali hai.

01:54Okay.

01:58Is this a fish market?

02:07Maini jitna audience mein

02:09baat karte hui dekha hai,

02:11to be very honest,

02:12mujhe khud nahi pata lagda hota,

02:13ke yaar, kaun Pakistani, kaun Indian.

02:15To be very honest, it feels very nice.

02:18It genuinely is like proof almost,

02:20ke there is, after all, you know,

02:22not a lot of difference.

02:28Once I put up a story,

02:30ke yaar main, by the way, Pakistan se hu,

02:32to usme thodi maine, thodi si, itni zyada,

02:34lekin thodi si drop notice ki thi following mein.

02:36It was interesting to see,

02:38ke, you know,

02:40just the knowledge of the fact

02:42about where it is that you are born

02:45changes your opinion wholly.

02:51I think the mundanity,

02:53the mundanity is where it lies.

02:55The things that you do in private

02:57and that are truly yourself,

02:59that you don't even notice yourself doing.

03:01When you are truly yourself,

03:03that is what my comedy relies on, at least.

03:06When we are truly ourselves,

03:08then we aren't that different.

03:10Agar aapko bura lag raha hai,

03:11ke aap Valentine's Day pe kuch bhi nahi kar raha hai,

03:13to aap ye yaad rakhein,

03:15ke Valentine's Day sirf ek capitalistic scheme hai.

03:17Nothing else.

03:21Although, agar aapko aisa lag raha hai,

03:23ke Valentine's Day capitalistic scheme hai,

03:25to clearly aap single hai.

03:31The most common message I have received,

03:33Alhamdulillah, is that

03:35I was going through a very rough day,

03:37or a rough week,

03:39or a rough period,

03:41and your reels helped me a lot.

03:43I am going through a breakup,

03:45and your reels are really helping me.

03:47I just binge watch your reels,

03:49and they really help me, they lighten up my mood.

03:51It's just a blessing.
