more-inMohit Sharma and Ankita Shrivastav’s Oye Stand Up, held recently at On the Go, spared no one: the rich, middle class and poor, corporate companies and their employees, food, Bollywood, north Indians, south Indians, mothers, coconuts, gyms, diets ... all these were were the butt of their jokes. When Shrivastav joined him, they explored the life of the middle class and “the rich people who try to look middle class”. “I know they are all middle class. Speaking of her experiences in South India, Shrivastav recollected the expression of a waiter when she asked for chutney without coconut and Nescafe instead of filter coffee. I cannot follow Hindi.”Asked why they didn’t translate the jokes, Sharma and Shrivastav said that it would lose the punch if it was not in Hindi.
