HELLO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF MOMENT OF SILENCE!This week, we’re joined by India’s most global comic — Vir Das! He opens up about the Emmy Awards after-party, getting Delhi Belly (the OG version), and finding legal loopholes just to keep telling jokes. There’s a wild Rishi Kapoor handshake, some classic Bollywood gossip, and yes — that infamous Juhu Beach story finally gets told.

We talk about the fear of censorship in Indian comedy, why audiences clap weird sometimes, and how Vir met his wife in the most unexpected way.
