The actor cum producer Arbaaz Khan, who donned the mantle of a director with Dabangg 2, will be seen as the judge of the upcoming season of the Comedy Circus.
Arbaaz has stepped in as replacement for brother Sohail Khan who has got busy with his Mental starring Salman Khan. And as the rule on Comedy Circus goes, Arbaaz probably will be as well targeted by contestants with their jokes. But it seems that the actor is pretty cool with it and can take jokes on himself.
Archana Puran Singh has been a judge of the show since the show began and has been taking all the jokes very calmly. Arbaaz said, “Archana does it very gracefully. They crack so many jokes. Sometimes it looks so exaggerated and over the top, so you should have the ability to laugh at yourself. I think I have got enough humor and I have the capacity to take a joke on myself and that's the reason I am here.”
The actor also feels that the audience knows that the jokes are being made in good sense. He said, “We really don't know what is really hitting below the belt, but whatever it is, you have to understand the intention is not to harm you. If we have the ability to sit on the judge's chair and enjoy jokes cracked on others, we should have the ability to take the jokes on ourselves.”
“The show gives an opportunity to let people know me and get a glimpse of me. Maybe there is some amount of seriousness attached to my personality - no nonsense type, who does grey roles. TV is something where you can't escape. If you are not playing a character, then your personality will come across. How real is he? What are the things he talks about? They can form a different opinion about me post the show,” added the actor.
Wish you good luck Arbaaz!
