Singapore-based comedian Sharul Channa brings punchlines, Punjabi family humour to Pune
1 2 3 Pune: Singapore-based comedian Sharul Channa has embarked on a multi-city tour across India with her latest stand-up special, 'Saree-ously Not Sorry'. Armed with an arsenal of unpopular opinions, a glamorous saree, and zero interest in being agreeable, she will take the stage at Godaam Specialty Coffee Co. in Shivajinagar on July 19. A trained theatre actor turned stand-up artist, Sharul did not exactly plan to be Singapore's first Indian-origin female comic. "I started stand-up 13 years ago when a comedy club owner asked me to do a three-minute performance because there were no Singaporean women in the scene at that time. My training in theatre helped me become confident on stage, and I learnt basic performance skills in acting school. Having said that, we break the fourth wall in stand-up comedy, and that only comes with practice when you jump up on stage for open mics," said Channa. Since then, Channa has worked rooms across continents, blending her theatre chops with no-nonsense candour. Born in India and raised in Singapore, her comedy straddles both worlds. "Singapore helped me understand different cultures and customs in depth since we are a cosmopolitan and multicultural society. But my Indian roots remain strong and influence my comedy style in a big way. My humour is expressive, colourful, and always circling back to idiosyncrasies," Channa said.

"We're a multicultural society. There are more than four races in Singapore, and we love to address our similarities and differences to celebrate them. Singapore's comedy scene is one of the friendliest in the world," she said. A highlight in her career so far was opening for Malaysian-born American actor-comedian Ronny Chieng's Double Confirm show in Singapore in 2023. "Malaysian and Singaporean audiences are very polite; they are some of the hardest crowds to crack, but once they laugh, they trust you, and it's all up from there. Indian audiences laugh loud, interrupt, and its community comedy. I feed off their energy," she said. Channa does not worry much about hecklers either. Handling interruptions is not just part of the job for her, but she turns it into a reminder that women on stage are not there just to play nice. "A drunk man once heckled me in Malaysia. But that turned out to be in my favour. I told him off in a funny way, and he kept quiet thereafter," she recalled. In her upcoming show, Channa dives into a script that is personal and political with equal flair. "I love performing in India because the audience in every city differs in the energy they bring and what they laugh at. I love that challenge. I also enjoy celebrating my 'Indian-ness'. In the show, I will talk about travel, airplanes, current events, my dog, my husband, and how I survived Punjabi family 'trauma'," she said. Channa is married to fellow comedian Rishi Budhrani, with whom she occasionally performs as 'Asia's Funniest Couple'. "Onstage, it is no holds barred. Offstage, all our fights mostly become funny, and many jokes come out of it. Our marriage is one lifetime of comedy specials," she laughed.

As Bollywood gears up for the release of Saiyaara, a fresh romantic drama starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, filmmaker Kunal Kohli has taken a sharp dig at the current crop of Bollywood superstars. Lauding the arrival of Saiyaara, Kohli called it a sign of welcome change in the industry, both musically and narratively. Quoting a tweet about debut romantic films creating history, like Bobby (1973), Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) and Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (2000), Kunal Kohli praised the trend of meaningful cinema led by music and storytelling. In a strongly worded post, he wrote, 'All have had HIT music. Today's heroes have killed music by wanting to reduce the role of heroines and thinking that item songs are hit songs. Tomorrow is a legendary day in Indian cinema. The change has begun. Good films. Good music are back. Albums. Complete albums. Filmmakers not heroes and their managers and entourages have to take calls about cinema and its music. Change is on the cards. Thank you audiences." All have had HIT music.

Directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is set to release on July 18. The film is being celebrated for its powerful music and promising debut performances. The romantic musical drama follows the journey of a budding artist and his lady love as they navigate fame, love, and heartbreak. Its official synopsis reads: 'Passionate lovers navigate a rollercoaster romance, facing euphoric highs and crushing lows while desperately clinging to their tumultuous bond." The soundtrack has already begun topping charts, with contributions from top composers like Faheem Abdullah, Mithoon, Sachet–Parampara, Vishal Mishra, Arslan Nizami, and Tanishk Bagchi.

Sonakshi Sinha returns to the big screen with Nikita Roy, a supernatural thriller releasing on July 18. Backed by her Dabangg co-star Salman Khan, who urged fans to watch the film, Nikita Roy promises a gripping narrative. Directed by her brother Kussh S Sinha, the film also stars Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal. Sonakshi Sinha is gearing up for her big-screen comeback, and none other than Salman Khan is cheering her on. Ahead of the release of her supernatural thriller Nikita Roy, the superstar has shown his full support for his Dabangg co-star, urging fans to watch the film and celebrating her return with heartfelt enthusiasm. Salman Shows Support Ahead of Release Early Thursday morning, Salman took to social media to express his excitement for Nikita Roy, extending his support to the film's team and praising Sonakshi Sinha's performance. He wrote, 'Sonakshi devi bani #NikitaRoy (Sonakshi has taken on the avatar of Nikita Roy)! Looking forward to this film aap bhi jaake dekho, kal release hai (You also go and watch it. The film is releasing tomorrow)! All the best to the team kill it (sic)'. A Supernatural Thriller With a Twist Nikita Roy, directed by Kussh S Sinha—Sonakshi's brother—features the actress as an investigator who takes on supernatural myths head-on. The thriller promises a gripping storyline as her character's rational beliefs are put to the test when she's confronted with a baffling and seemingly unexplainable case. Co-starring Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal, Nikita Roy was originally slated for a June 27 release but was pushed to July 18. The delay has only heightened the buzz around the film—especially with Salman Khan publicly throwing his support behind Sonakshi Sinha's much-anticipated big-screen return. Salman Khan's Own Upcoming Project Meanwhile, Salman Khan is immersed in his upcoming project Battle of Galwan—a patriotic drama based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese forces.
