S Pasricha, known for his

Pammi Aunty

avatar, is just as funny and sarcastic as he is when he's got his oversized glasses, rollers and face pack on. On a three-day trip to Chandigarh for a friend's wedding, Pasricha was in a festive mood, but also made sure he had some jokes up his sleeve about the demonetization of `500 and `1,000 notes.Even in his latest video, Pammi Aunty is seen bawling loudly over the cash she had stashed away from her husband.

Watch Ssumeir's latest video on Rs. 500 notes:


“I've been an actor, an RJ, a photographer, did corporate jobs, odd jobs in Australia and also tried my hand at dad's business. I couldn't succeed at anything.People have a plan A and a plan B, but I think I'm on plan E and F now. I've come to terms with my life being unplanned, and have decided that going with the flow is my thing.“ Talking about how Pammi Aunty came about, he says, “I was bored at home one day , so I shot this video and uploaded it. I liked what I was doing, and then kept posting these videos. It wasn't until the 26th video that I realized that people were actually watching them! Even my family didn't know what I was doing.“ And after Rishi Kapoor retweeted one of his videos, Pammi Aunty became even more famous.

Aiming to be identified as an actor, Pasricha says he's still looking into the Bollywood offers coming his way .“Actors should know where they stand. I cannot make myself flamboyant, simply because no one wants to see Ssumier as Ranbir Kapoor. As a comic actor, I should know my limits, especially when I have a part alongside someone who is in the `hero' category . But there are roles being written for character actors too now . Irrfan, for instance, is not a glamorous hero, but he's a great actor. Saare hi agar glamorous ho jayenge toh characters kaun play karenge?“ Making his theatre comeback this month in Delhi, Pasricha will be seen in a serious role in a play called Amavasya Se Amaltas. “I play an autistic person. Though the play is serious, it also has elements of humour.“ About being accepted as a serious actor after Pammi, Pasricha says, “Every versatile actor should have different sides, playing serious roles is just my other side. There is no disconnect between this and Pammi.“
