Following your Dreams in India | Stand-up Comedy by Rupen Paul

WATCH TILL THE END!
In this video, I talk about the challenges of pursuing a dream in India given how we tend to value superficial achievements for the safety of being suitable for marriage. All of these are just jokes with the intent of making you laugh, so don't take it too seriously alright?

    That was relatable AF. I've heard those from my family so many times: marriage fixes everything, married people are good human beings, do stuff after marriage (wear shorts after marriage, go roaming after marriage). And im soooo sick of that shit. But sadly, can't do nothing abt it. I empathize strongly with the people who go through all that.
