I am a bathroom comedian: Shenaz Treasurywala

But this time, its not a music show but the fourth edition of 'The Great Indian Laughter Challenge', which is being judged by former cricketer Navjot Singh Siddhu and veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha.

Ask her what made her choose a comedy show and pat comes the reply, "I love to laugh. I'm not a bathroom singer but I'm a bathroom comedian." "One of my favourite pastimes when I go abroad is to visit comedy clubs. I have watched some of the best comedians in the world on stage," she adds.

Lauding the efforts of the patrons of the comedy show 'The Great Indian...' she says, "It has brought stand-up comedy to India. And I was thrilled when I was asked to host it." But how different is the experience of hosting a comic show as compared to a music show? "They both have the same pre-requisites which is to be myself, have fun and allow my personality to shine through." And when we ask her comment on the judges on the show, she had a good one. "I was a bit apprehensive about Mr Sinha before I met him. The media makes him out to be a tiger. I was worried he'd just ask me to be 'khamosh.' But he's a softie, very kind and encouraging with an excellent sense of humour." "And Mr Sidhu is a joker. He laughs as much as I do or maybe more. He's an intelligent, well-spoken man with an interesting take on life, quoting Shakespeare, Keats, Gibran and famous Urdu poets, all in one breath. I've never seen anyone laugh so much!"
