While talking about how he came up with the name ‘Aalas, Motapa, Ghabraahat’ for the show, Karunesh said,
The name is part of a joke line from the show itself. I had written the entire show, we shot it and while we were editing it, I was sitting with the director and editor of the show who suggested I name it ‘Aalas, Motapa, Ghabraahat.’ The first half of the show is about my parents and the other half is about my relationship with my girlfriend.”
He further added,
I think this happened subconsciously because I wrote this show during the pandemic. Also, it comes from trying to tell my story, which must be completely authentic and unique on stage. So I think, these 3 words can describe a lot of people’s experiences during the pandemic.”
His penchant for procrastination (“Meri hobby hai letna… aur passion bhi”) led him to his fourth comedy show titled ‘Adrak Ka Swaad,’ which he starred in in 2021.
