Comedian, Ali Asgar known for his turn as Dadi in The Kapil Sharma Show made a shocking revelation to The Times of India. In Delhi for the promotion of his upcoming show Kanpur Wale Khuranas, in which he again plays a female character in drag, Chauthi, he spoke about how he is comfortable essaying a character of the opposite sex.
Opening up about his performance at a Delhi wedding, where the guests were drunk, he said, “They were putting their hands on my chest, they were pinching my butt. I was molested.” He also revealed how his female colleague had to intervene to ensure his exit from the stage.
“Did they not realise that I was a man dressed as a woman? And even if they did, I was playing an old lady. Have they no shame?” he questioned.
