Vir Das says “Be Stupid” to the students during a commencement address at his Alma Mater

Vir Das, who is renowned for not just being the irreverent funny man in India but also taking Indian Comedy and changing its perspective on an international stage, just gave a speech at his Alma Mater. The speech was a commencement address to the class of 2018 and an acceptance speech as Knox college honoured him with an Honorary Doctorate.

Doing what he does best, Vir eased the new and nervous students by cracking a few jokes about their outfits, the college and himself. He told the students that it is very important to “be stupid” in every aspect of their lives, to have the courage to do something that society thinks is a ridiculous idea. The actor spoke about adulthood, love and owning each moment of one’s life. His speech was extremely well received with faculty members laughing and applauding at his statements and students cheering too. On talking about his speech he said, “I'm in my thirties and fully aware that I've got a lot to achieve before I can give a speech loaded with wisdom. So I tried to tell them something they wouldn't normally hear. College kids today are extraordinarily smart, and are already driven towards smart choices. The way I see it, if you add one stupid thing to that universe of intelligence, life becomes a little more fun. It was an honour to speak to them and get my doctorate."

The actor who will soon be seen on ABC’s Whiskey Cavalier and has also signed on for two more comedy specials with Netflix

Yogita's teenage crush - Karan Kundra

Every single one of us has in some point in their life had a crush on someone. Be it school or college, no one can deny the fact of being mesmerized by that special someone in our life. Yogita Bihani who is essaying the lead role in Sony Entertainment Television’s upcoming show ‘Dil Hi Toh Hai’ also crushed on a special person during her teenage years.

Yogita Bihani, a newbie in the television space was thrilled when she bagged the heroine's role in TV Czarina Ekta Kapoor’s dream project. Her joy knew no bounds after being told about her co-actor in the show.

Yogita has always been an admirer of Karan Kundra’s shows and loved watching them. Once in a while, right in the middle of our ordinary lives, life gives us a taste of a fantastic fairy tale moment. This was exactly the same moment for Yogita when she got the golden chance to work with her teenage crush.

 Yogita says, “it's a rare phenomenon when fortune smiles upon you repeatedly in a short span of time. Me and my sister used to love watching Karan Kundra’s show. Even today, I remember the title track of the show. When I got to know that my co-actor will be Karan Kundra, the first thing I did was called my sister and shared my excitement with her. I was a bit nervous before shooting, but when I met him he came across as a very kind and humble person. This show is giving me way more than I could have ever wished for.  I am sure the on-screen chemistry between us will be great and the audiences will love watching us together in ‘Dil Hi Toh Hai’.”
