Facts/Trivia
- His friends and family call him Sumu.
- He has an ink tattoo on his arm that means “your mother” in Mandarin.
- His favorite comedian in the Tamil film industry is Manorama.
- In an interview, he discussed the challenges faced by a comedian in India, he said,
Comedy, like any other industry, comes with a set of challenges that you have to face, regardless of your gender. Creating regular content, writing as much as possible and attracting people to your show are some of the things on your checklist. So why is it that when I achieve even one of them, I am praised for being able to do it “as a woman” and also congratulated for being the first woman to do it? Although at first, you enjoy the attention, soon you should want to be the best at what you do and not be limited by your gender. So I set myself the goal of being the best comic out of the best laugh generators that produce ovaries. The only way for me to break down the gender bias and related discrimination is to be so good at my job that I can’t be avoided.
