Quotes
Rakesh Bedi
Veteran actor known for his comedic roles in Indian cinema and television.
“There are two good serials. ‘Bhabhi Ji Ghar Pe Hain’ and ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah’. Coincidentally, I am in both of them. Both of them are very big hits in their respective places. Humor in both of them runs at a very natural level. Otherwise, such a long comedy cannot run. So, these are two such serials that are experimenting in comedy. They are venturing out. Nobody else is doing it.”

“I feel that these days, comedy films are not being made. Nobody is making comedy films. I am talking about pure comedy. I am not talking about a comedy in a film. I’m not even talking about a comedian in a film. For example, Hrishikesh’s film was ‘Chupke Chupke’. It is a cult film, ‘Chupke Chupke’. It is a comedy film. There is no comedian in it.”
