You can find humor in anything.
Most celebrities find it irritable for a journalist to make mistakes in an interview or a talk, and tend to get angry at them. But some choose to laugh and turn it into a piece of entertainment too!
Renuka Shahane, the actress best known as Salman Khan’s onscreen bhabhi, found it in a conversation she had with a journalist.
She posted the conversation on her Facebook page and it’s so funny that it went insanely viral!
Take a look for yourself.
AÂ “journalist” called on behalf of a well-known daily, I’ll call him J for short.
J: Ma’am we would like to ‘do’ your interview for a column about veteran tv actors.
Me: Okay
Me: Okay
J: So apart from Surabhi which I remember you’ve done Swabhimaan right?
Me: Many serials but not Swabhimaan
Me: Many serials but not Swabhimaan
J: Oh no no it was Shanti right? It was very popular….
Me: It sure was but I wasn’t in it?
Me: It sure was but I wasn’t in it?
J (sounding utterly gobsmacked): Er….then what were you in? Please tell me names of your serials?
Me: Why didn’t you do your homework?
Me: Why didn’t you do your homework?
J: Please ma’am help me now…I will do it from next time….only a few questions
Me: Okay.
Me: Okay.
J: What is the difference between the serials you did & the serials today?
Me: Serials I acted in were weeklies.
Me: Serials I acted in were weeklies.
J: Weeklies?
Me ( patiently): We have daily soaps now…they are called dailies because they are shown daily. My Serials were called Weeklies because they were shown once a week.

J: Oh so only once a week? You mean one story for one week?
Me: No….how do I explain this? You have daily newspapers, weekly magazines, fortnightly ones & monthly ones…..some are printed quarterly? Right?
J: Oh so you had a lot of variety like Weeklies & Fortnightly.
Me: No no….I mean we had variety….but I was just drawing an analogy so that you could relate it to your work.
Me: No….how do I explain this? You have daily newspapers, weekly magazines, fortnightly ones & monthly ones…..some are printed quarterly? Right?
J: Oh so you had a lot of variety like Weeklies & Fortnightly.
Me: No no….I mean we had variety….but I was just drawing an analogy so that you could relate it to your work.
Pause
Me: Are you there?
J: Yes ma’am….I thought you were drawing something so I waited.
J: Yes ma’am….I thought you were drawing something so I waited.
Me: Hmmmm, are you writing anything down at all?
J: Ma’am I’ve got an excellent memory…..you’ve acted in Surabhi….and you’ve acted in Shanti which was a weekly & you acted in a variety of Fortnightly & quarterly Serials too ma’am.
J: Ma’am I’ve got an excellent memory…..you’ve acted in Surabhi….and you’ve acted in Shanti which was a weekly & you acted in a variety of Fortnightly & quarterly Serials too ma’am.
Me (trying to hold back the mirth): You’re amazing….you’ve got it spot on….now may I please go back to er….drawing analogies?
J: Sure ma’am….if you Whatsapp me the photo of the drawing of the “allergy” I can include it as your hobby….it’s a very unique concept.
J: Sure ma’am….if you Whatsapp me the photo of the drawing of the “allergy” I can include it as your hobby….it’s a very unique concept.
Sigh….some journalists are a source of great entertainment…..the upside is that I’ve bought myself a canvas….still not been able to draw my “allergy” though. ????
We all live just for laughs, don’t we! 😛
