On the occasion of World Laughter Day, Raju Srivastava told Hindustan Times, âComedy is a serious business. Comedians make everyone laugh but they themselves donât laugh. But the world is changing. The audience that I used to see years ago are aged. Now the audience is young. And the current audience needs prompt laughter. Everything is fast-paced. Now the audience wants mimicry of Ranveer Singh and Ranbir Kapoor.â
âSo we need to keep ourselves updated. Now I mimic Modi ji (PM Narendra Modi). Furthermore, today even the internet and WhatsApp are our competition. But yeah we need to reinvent ourselves. During the pandemic, the online shows were absolutely new. I got many offers for online shows and I did perform. It was weird as I was not able to see the audience and there was no response,â he added further.
