Im so glad she chose her indian attire. She looks absolutely stunning ❤ embrace your culture🎉
Zarna, I just watched you on Jimmy Fallon- you are wonderful- you are natural- you intuitively know exactly what is hilarious- just keep being you. You are every woman from anywhere, you are all of us
I don’t usually like to comment on people but Zarna touched me so much . What she does is so lovely bridging all gaps and the kindness she has is so amazing . It’s almost impossible to be a comic but she does it with so much class. She is lovely and so witty.
I watched her special on Amazon Prime. She is so genuine, humble & funny. She is just herself. No role play
So happy for Zarna that she’s become popular. Authentic to the T. 👏👏👏👏
Just found this wonderful lady. Her observations are relatable to everyone. She is also imparting Indian culture in a polite and humorous way. 👏
sorry… she is not imparting the indian culture in the right way.
Some people are just naturally funny. She comes across that way, and she is so quick on her feet coming up with the one-liners.
She's so hilarious! I listened to Zarna on Bad Dates podcast and just had to hear more from her.
Jharna became Zarna😂😂Now i understand her name. I was confused for a long time. Her name story itself is hilarious 😂😂
She needs her own comedy show!
I agree
She is 98% hilarious & clean. I have yet to hear her use foul language. Thank GOD, my ears aren't being assaulted.
What really impresses me is her exceptionally high IQ which is the force behind her wit and authenticity .
More power to you lady !
Best wishes and love
Credit to her for her success.. There are so many Indian stand ups now.. Indian stand up comedy is so big in India now.. including women doing the same.
Succesful Indian female stand ups hardly exist. Pretty sure I can hardly think of 5.
There is another word for this, besides, funny--GENIUS. And what a beautiful soul...Lord Thank You for the gift of this beautiful human being~bringing joy and laughter and love~
She was so fun to listen to !!! I am definitely a fan .
Making fun of Hindu gods and spreading miss information is not comedy
Zarna left India more than 50 years ago. This country became independent only 75 years ago. The issue is that India has come a long way since then and Indians have collectively worked very hard to make the sea change .. I have never experienced any of the stereotypes she mentions nor have I heard of anyone I know (here in India) having similar experience as her. Problem is when she passes off her own experience of 53 years ago (in what sounds like a very atypical household - not typical or normal at all even during those times - I myself come from humble background and yet my grandmother from a small town had a post graduate degree) as what happens in India today… sorry to say that’s why her experience sounds bizzare to most Indians and hence they protest. It may sound like hate when they air their frustration as being defamed and misrepresented into regressive typecasts when they have worked to hard to come out of it for so many years by an Indian as it’s not fair to Indians.
Right
She is in her 40s, so how could she have left India 50 years ago ? 😂😂 And she was born and raised in Mumbai. 😂
My feeling is that your household is atypical. A grandmother who is a post graduate, really??!! Zarna stereotypes are a comic exaggeration of what is very true of India even today. I am not sure where in India you are looking. India is very vast great contrast between villages, small towns, and cities; educated and uneducated; traditional and modern; small minded and broad minded households. I certainly do not feel Zarna is misrepresenting India and yet her audience is intelligent enough to know she takes comic liberties and her words cannot be taken as seriously.
My goodness, lighten up. It's comedy! Maybe you're one of those who doesn't laugh like she said, have some sense of humor!
Totally agree with what you say🙂👍 she has a memory of India long gone . We haveoved on in leaps and bounds . But I love her acts 😊👍 and her spirit 😊
I am watching her shows from India. She made my day
She is so funny. Its the way she says it. A new perspective on things.
She is so funny and it is nice to have clean comedy.
You killed this interview!!!
Things in India are totally different… no one cares about spelling bee in India, people love dancing and are fun loving! It’s just Indian immigrants living in America … there are all kinds of mother-In-laws too 😂
Agree with almost all the points you mentioned except for one 'mother in laws.' In India, in most cases, in-laws are notorious.
Zarna jokes that it's the North Indian's who are always dancing. But the South Indians are more literate.
I love her ❤. She is so funny and her accent makes it all the better.
She is hysterical... I have watched her on RUclips shorts... OMG.. So happy for her....
I 🩷 Zarna!!! She makes me laugh out loud !!! 😆
Her energy is so inspiring!!!
I do like her comedy but she’s not correct about Indians… I think we are the happiest people, enjoying small small things in life and that too with our families
Why is HER perspective on life incorrect? It's not yours, so of course it's going to be different. Wake up from your comatose state of living.
She has not visited India for many years, I guess
Yes.. she has lost touch with what India is now
She is so hilarious!!!
If you haven't watch her ,you are missing out. I love her podcasts with her family.
One in a Billion was Hilarious !! Loved it. I'm a fan indeed.
I literally came from a video of her not listening to her daughter about sharing pictures of her in social media. It’s called “sharenting”. She told her daughter “if it’s not on insta, it didn’t happen”. It was made 4 years ago. Anyone could change within the timeframe but we don’t know if she ever changed her mind about it.
I was waiting to someone to say this 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Wow. Surprised to hear that.
Indians are not singers and not dancers! What about Rafi, Manna Dey, Kishore Kumar, Lata, Asha! And please ask her what is Indian classical music. Has she heard of Tansen! Ask her about Arijit Singh and AR Rahman.
What about Bharat Natyam,Kathak and so many dance forms. This India bashing is not funny at all, in fact very despicable.
None of the people you mentioned are household names in America. Simmer down pot of stew.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@toukdee So does that mean Indians do not sing! What sort of logic is this!
Agree. ..showingIndia in a ve
badl ight...not good
Troll everyone, I laugh at her jokes, truly. But go to India and see the comedy scene. Indian Female comics are killing it. What is saying is partly true for rural India, but not for urban, suburban India. She is describing India of 1980s, 1990s.
I'm sure she means the one in America. Let's face it.... it's just her.
I love this woman, love from 🇬🇧 all ♥️🧿
Like Zarna. What a character. Her family is beautiful.
Pleasantly surprised. She's hilarious.
I would differ with one thing that she said here that no Indian parent just sits away n only hands a book to their kid .it takes a lot to bring them up in fact we are more dedicated to our kids that others all around the world
Moms who are at home are focused n motivating mothers .no chance we have no confidence.we are literally every where for our kids .
This lady gets laughter at the expense of belittling our Indian Culture and she feels that is a great accomplishment. Definitely she has not visited India since ages..
Love her!
She is so wonderful. !!!!!!!!!
Ur the best,down to earth and so so funny..👍
A legend emerges
I'm definitely a new fan! 😂
Love her❤
Love her ♥
She's my favorite!!! huge fan!!! loved her Amazon special!!!
Making fun of Indian culture and our forefathers is not joke
@@harikrishansrivastava1538 you need to have sex. read the Kama sutra...your forefathers learned!
Zarna, you're delightful! 🎉❤
Indians are extremely musical.. singing and dancing.. and families are joking all the time.. but yeah those have become career options only in recent years
Love❤ to watch her. She is a riot. 😂😂😂❤
What she is even saying, womens are not allowed to watch her video or laugh, is youtube is ban in india, what happen when nri go to america.
Why is she so Anti India 🇮🇳
She is just anti certain cultural evils, not anti India.
@@alani3992 She is no anti certain culture evils, But giving negative image about india, If woman were not allowed watch her video or laugh, India won, t be democracy. She just lying that women were not allowed to laugh or watch the video, I have never heard in our culture or written what she said.
@@BhargabGogoi-tz1fv she does not realise we have a woman president a second woman at that position she gives the impression we are living in some darkness and she is the only one who has discovered light.
She is absolutely gorgeous and so real and funny
She is so funny I love it laughing is good for you
You laugh at Zarina’s jokes and enjoy them with a pinch of salt but don’t take her take on Indians too seriously. Just watch all the dance and music shows and the standup comedy scene in india and you will know. So not for knowledge but for good old fashioned laughs Zarna is great. I am a big fan. Btw, the court jester was an invention Of Indians among other less serious stuff like the zero, the wheel, Bharatnatyam , Ayurveda etc
So true. I feel she hasn't visited India in the last 10 years.
@@joos146 what last 10 years, she is telling Indians are not good at singing! I mean what nonsense is this! Has she not heard about Rafi, Mukesh, Hemant Mukhopadhay, Lata, Kishor Kumar!
And we hide and see RUclips! What nonsense is this.
And thinking about comedy, what does SRK do in his movies. The majority of his movies have a comedy track.
Court jester.. Great.marriage songs,games, our soceity has it all. But yes some families are stuffy. Some parents hate their daughters laughing flirting
Thanks for the psa 😂😂😂
Don’t take it so seriously.. it’s good for us to be able to laugh at ourselves. Don’t you realize that all comics poke fun at their communities and highlight the most extreme aspects? This sensitivity is the result if Hindutva style false nationalism. Desis used to be able to laugh at themselves. Maybe that’s just those of us who are Sikhs…. We have a sense of humor.
Omg.
.so nice to see u here
A lot has changed in India we no longer stay in closed places and watch TV or videos. She is funny but running’s down her community especially when we have come forward a lot. She isnot in sync with modern India she still in the timeline she left the country. By the way there are a lot of female stand up comedian s in India. No she is not the ONLY woman as she claims
Totally 💯 Agree
She is a disgrace. Period! She seems to live in la la land or has never visited India in a long time now.
She said Indians are not singers! That is an utter lie.
First of all when were Indians deprived of watching TV!
@@monideepadey3101 I know?!
She is funny, cute n lovely
Thank you. God bless.
Shes so funny😂
She is funny 😂
God bless 🙏
These days there are plenty of women Stand Ups in India.... I mean the comic types !😂 but Zarna is real good comedy act...
♥️🙌🏼😄Go Zarna!
Love her. ❤
She's amazing!
Zarna is so warm - funny and fabulous-
She's super funny
She is funny. I saw a different interview, the interviewer was so stupid didn't even understand that she is joking :D
She is so funny.
Zarna is the best!!!
She's right! A person like Zarna can get recognition only in countries like the US. never in a country like India
It's a tragedy for her that she has not seen Indians laughing. Indian women are not in hiding. She needs to do some research by visiting today's India. Saying Indians can't do anything other winning Spelling Bees shows lack of knowledge and awareness on her part.
She rocks! She knows whats up!
I love that lady from London United Kingdom
I don’t care what you’re speaking about
It’s fun listening to you
She hasn't been to India in the last 23 odd years and hasn't witnessed the Indian stand comedy culture. She thinks she is the only one??
👏 👏 👏
Thats what i was thinking
🎉🎉🎉❤
"Where is he learning it?"
Well thought!!
It’s a challenge to all comedians - show me funny WITHOUT making fun of ANYBODY or ANYTHING. Can you do that???
IMPOSSIBLE!!
Comedy should not be about making fun of something or somebody.
Love from Germany
So funny. 😅
❤💯
She is still living in her dark age .i am sure her mother is someone mother in law.her sister in law should make jokes of her mother too.
Totally 💯 Agree
She's funny 😂
❤
More power to you!!
Zarna you have not lost your head when you laugh at hindu gods-the Hindus know how to laugh with you, and with their gods and at their gods. So make us laugh on stage but don’t make serious pronouncements to color the sanatani hindu with the brush they don’t deserve
Really... simmer down pot of stew.
Funny lady
What is she talking about? Indians are great at dancing bhangra!
Plus, i've seen many Indian stan ip comics.
I love her comedy even though I don't agree with her views on India. (Who are we kidding, most of the Indian-Americans are like this.) Trash India, praise the USA. I get it, it's for livelihood.
Trash India and you are a comedian. So sad.
How True 😢
Hallo thanks succes good luck 😁😁
I don’t think we don’t laugh or are not funny . Even parenting is different than she explains Bach in India . My family laughs , sings , and we do make jokes about our mother in law .. she is funny 😢😅😅
Here is for Jharna .. the new Zarna cheers 🥂 ..
Indian MIL is truly the biggest villain out there!!! Good one!!!
Zarina seems to come from a very repressive family.. I heard she had to escape to America with the help of her sister to avoid an arranged marriage. So everything she’s saying about “India” is actually about her family and not India per se.. it’s inaccurate to generalise. I think Zarna left in the 80s and has never been back.
It’s not like Indians don’t know or do comedy, there are sooo many people who are funny hilarious around. It’s just not a job for many. It’s part and parcel of life. It’s in movies a lot. Zarna your comedy comes out of that frustration. I like it. Have heard it before but not on American tv.
Zarna, you sound like me. We are in this bubble about what India is and Indians are, from a while ago. The current India is a very different country, girl.
She is hilarious!But her take on India is a bit outdated. My family jokes about each other just like she does on stage! I am always laughing when I go see my family, my nickname is "Colgate"
Zarna, you are amazing. You speak the truth about the experience of the Indian woman - we are indeed not supposed to laugh, enjoy, or shine in front of our MILs. You blaze the path for us to be ourselves and proud of it!
Lol
Even it was for fun, Indians are excellent in singing, dancing,cricket, badminton as well as technology. We are everywhere these days Mrs.Garg. Fan of your comedy but not this.
Somebody should make fun of her then she will say you are fat shaming me 😂
