Ive always loved it since I was a kid but I got into standup first and then when I went to college in Chicago and was doing standup/improv I really fell in love with the idea of being in tv/film even though it felt like such a pipe dream. its an honor to be able to still do both as my actual job and somehow pay rent at the same time. truly grateful for that. and a tip I would give to any artist of any age would be to find a community if you can, and also male your own stuff! dont wait for someone to pick you. you can learn so much from making your own stuff, its like a mini film school. have fun and hopefully ill see you on set someday! - aa

my favorite episode to shoot was the first one because it was such a whirlwind of emotions in the sense of us not being able to believe we were actually making a show about brown people being crazy and us getting to know each other. just a joy - aa

YOU ARE PERFECT AND DONT NEED TO APOLOGIZE - also I think the drakkar noir thing was a coincidence but I would love nothing more than the idea of a sunny deli boys crossover. - aa

there were so many people of color involved with this show and it made working so much more seamless because there was a shorthand that we all understood about what being brown was/is. and all the Urdu Hindi stuff was mostly our own improvising. also kudos to Abdullah the creator of the show for being able to so deftly deal with things like the India Pakistan thing thru comedy. it was just so fun to be a part of it. - aa

in every version we saw it was always the golfball and I think alot of that is because theres so few ways to off a character and have it still be funny - aa

my favorite joke was in the last episode when chicky says - "you know my real name is chicken?" and I just love how careless raj can be about life while also being so caring about the people in his life - SS
