He wanted it to be Suraj’s reaction to everything, bringing an unexpected, engaging twist to the character. From day one, I infused 'What a joke' into every scene, experimenting with different tones to bring out the humour and unpredictability that the film’s director envisioned.”Aasif also revealed he was not the original choice for the role, saying, “Initially, Gulshan Grover was cast as Suraj Singh. He had even filmed several scenes and delivered the iconic line multiple times. But, for reasons I’m still not entirely sure of, I ended up bagging the role. It was a twist of fate, and maybe a testament to my perseverance, which allowed me to make ‘What a joke’ a memorable part of Bollywood history, something I’m incredibly proud of.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aasif Sheikh (@iaasifsheikhofficial)About Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai'Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai', which airs on &TV, is a comedy that follows two neighboring couples, the Mishras and the Tiwaris.
