Varun Grover on criticism, detachment, comedy, Kota suicides, coaching institutes & All India Rank

National Award winner lyricist, storyteller, comedian – Varun Grover – is now donning the hat of a director with his debut film, All India Rank. In a heartwarming conversation with Bollywood Bubble’s host Ankita Bhalla, Varun reveals how he is ‘detached’ from all his work, including his award winning songs like ‘Moh Moh Ke Dhaage’. He takes us through his evolution from a stand up comedian to a writer, how the state of comedy in today’s time is bogged down by social media and why jokes are offensive! Varun shares the thought process behind AIR, inspired by his stint at IIT, the importance of telling the story in today’s time, Kota suicides and societal pressure on kids in the garb of coaching culture. He further takes a firm stand on calling out what goes against his integrity, and bearing the brunt of it.
