I've never said "I Love You" to my husband.
But if he said it to me I would know he's cheating on me.
With a white woman.
Where else would he get this nonsense?

In deep poverty in rural India, my mother in law Rekha raised not one, but two brilliant, hardworking decent sons.

She taught Shalabh to put his wife first and the day after my wedding, told me that every couple needs a common enemy to survive and I’m happy to be yours.

I'm such an emotional mess today. When I signed on to go on this journey, I had no idea the amount of love blood sweat and tears that would be involved in creating a movie.

Yesterday I received the highest compliment of my life - an elderly Indian uncle held my hand and said ‘since my wife started watching you, I’ve noticed she wears her kurtas more, puts on a bindi everyday … she’s more comfortable in her own skin - thank you’. He just said it and

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who has devoted herself to the next generation only to be sidelined, pushed around, ignored, patronized etc. I am you and you are me. The bullshittery better stop soon before we leave the human race in the hands of men.

The real problem is that when outrage is not at peak, privileged Indians - men and women act like there’s no problem and for them, there isn’t. But if you don’t have a mountain of money protecting you, all bets are off - open season on women at all times
The irony of Ivy League college presidents not being able to answer basic yes and no questions when they demand that 18 year old kids explain every moment of their life and ambition in writing before they can be considered worthy of attending their schools.
A greulling 7 week run came to an end last night. I pulled a lot of near-impossible work miracles off but I paid for it w my health and sanity. Eating well, sleeping, walking enough, being patient - all went out the window. Was it a win in the end? 🤷🏽♀️
My daughter gets a lot of credit publicly for getting me started in comedy but a lesser known fact about my journey is that my son Brij is the reason I’m able to keep going with my career.

My friend Zarna was practicing law in New York City
She was 28, a mother of two, working not-stop.
She had to make a change, but leaving the workplace could make it impossible to return.
What unfolded next is one of the most incredible entrepreneurial stories I've ever heard.
I’m not really proficient on Twitter, so I don’t know what’s happening and why Martin short is trending suddenly, but I wanted to take a second to share my experience with him.
Honored, floored actually to be on this iconic podcast w my friend

Update from hospital drama last night - after a 5 and half hour wait, the procedure was done smoothly and the people in OR were nice. Thank you for all your kind wishes. 🙏🏼
My friend Zarna’s been hustling like absolute crazy for years in the comedy world.
Against all odds, she is finally breaking through.

I joke about never ever allowing my kids to become writers because there are no jobs in writing, especially for Indians. When they push back and point to ‘data’ to make their case, inevitably they list the

I have no reason to defend tiktok, but many creators (including me) have live performance businesses that are driven by tiktok followers who show up in real life and pay to watch us live - '1000% faked' might be a stretch
