I was offered comedy shows earlier, but I was very clear about one thing that whenever I do comedy on TV in this country it has to be clean comedy so that my children can sit along and watch it with me. My children are young and the reason I am doing this show is because I have a long association with the producers and the creative team was right. The icing on the cake was that this show mentioned that my children can watch it sitting next to me," said Ram

Comedy is the hardest thing to do and that's what attracted me towards the show. I like challenging myself. In Comedy High School, I am going out of my comfort zone and that is challenging.
