It just happens I don’t know I think my mind just works like that now. I used to crack jokes all the time even when I was in school. I used to mimic my friends, my teachers, my relatives and that’s how it started, but yes it obviously takes some effort to be funny while performing in a character.<\/p>\n![\"I](\"https:\/\/stat1.bollywoodhungama.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/I-had-some-plan-initially-but-this-lockdown-wont-let-it-happen-so-now-I-dont-know-internet-sensation-Saloni-Gaur-AKA-Nazma-Aapi-opens-up-on-her-future-plans.jpg\" "\\"I")

Yes, no matter how much effort you make, someone will always be there who will not find you funny so I don’t think there is any kind of a pressure or anxiety about it. I make videos as per my choice.<\/p>\n
Although I am genuinely funny around people I am comfortable with but there’s no such need to be funny all time.<\/p>\n
Yes I think he was right. Although I have never been to an airport but this happened with me as well at an event, some people saw me and asked me to say something as\u00a0Nazma\u00a0Aapi\u00a0then and there. That was kinda awkward for me.<\/p>\n
Ha ha\u00a0I have heard this line a lot but this is not the case with me. I am quite a jolly person in real life too. I have no reason to be sad I have my family’s support, good friends and now I have got\u00a0some\u00a0really nice people as\u00a0my audience\u00a0so I don’t need anything else. As I am the youngest one in my family so I am not allowed to take any stress\u00a0because\u00a0my parents are there to do that for me.<\/p>\n
I started with a character called\u00a0Pinky\u00a0Dogra\u00a0and it was around\u00a0Eid\u00a0in 2018 when I first thought of\u00a0Nazma\u00a0Aapi. I thought of making a video on\u00a0Eid\u00a0preparations so I thought it would look more\u00a0relatable\u00a0with a Muslim woman’s character so my brother and I sat down and eventually decided to go with\u00a0Nazma\u00a0Aapi.<\/p>\n
The character itself is not inspired by someone in particular but the dialect is inspired from a lot of people. My father has a\u00a0lot of\u00a0Muslim\u00a0friends and they generally speak in the dialect which I use for\u00a0Nazma\u00a0Aapi\u00a0and also people from old\u00a0Delhi\u00a0also use the same dialect.<\/p>\n
It was a video about\u00a0Eid\u00a0and I thought playing a\u00a0Muslim woman’s\u00a0character would make it look more\u00a0relatable\u00a0I didn’t think of my decision as risky because I never gave a thought about trolls or any sort of a communal backlash.<\/p>\n
In my opinion every other thing is related to politics be it cinema, be it our everyday life so it is not a deliberate attempt I am just politically aware so when I make a joke it has certain political references but it is not something that has happened just now it has been always there since my first video.<\/p>\n
It didn’t bother me that much because that’s not the only platform I put my videos on but what made me feel angry was the fact that there are videos on\u00a0Tik-Tok\u00a0showing violence against women, animals and what not and these videos are taken down when there is a lot of outrage against them while my video which was only making people laugh and was not hurting anyone in anyway got deleted in a day without any explanation being given to me. Although they restored it the next day when I tweeted about it.<\/p>\n
No she has never responded to any of my videos because personally she is not on any social media platforms but I think she will definitely like it. There’s a lot which I don’t know about the film industry so I can’t probably comment on all of them but there are some\u00a0Bollywood celebs who follow my work and they enjoy it too. When I made that video impersonating Sonam\u00a0she even shared it on her\u00a0Instagram.<\/p>\n
I don’t think so. Of course there are certain things we should not joke about, there are certain feelings of people which we should not hurt, I always take care of it and my audience has been super supportive.<\/p>\n
Yes I always wanted to this I used to tell my friends that I want to be a\u00a0stand-up\u00a0comedian but I had other plans too because I have seen that almost every\u00a0stand-up\u00a0comic had a job at first which they usually quit once they start earning well so I thought maybe I’ll also take up some job and will do this comedy thing side by side but things went well for me and I think now I won’t need a job.<\/p>\n
I had some plan initially but this\u00a0lockdown\u00a0won’t let it happen so now I don’t know. But yeah let’s just wait and watch how things unfold and I’ll plan accordingly.<\/p>\n
<\/strong>Banning of Tik-Tok hasn’t affected me a lot because it was never my main platform I just used to upload my regular videos there nothing different although I’ve definitely lost some fans there. There’s no plan as such I continue to work as usual because my main social media platforms are YouTube and Instagram and they are working fine as of now<\/p>\n
Well I will not comment upon them in an interview. Sorry, but I won’t give you the headline which you were expecting.<\/p>\nBOLLYWOOD NEWS<\/h2>\n
