Actor Ali Asgar, who plays the role of a grandmother on comedian Kapil Sharma's show, recently appeared on Mukesh Khanna's chat show. During the conversation here, Mukesh Khanna called Ali's character vulgar.
In response to this, Ali said that this is your personal opinion and I cannot say anything to you about it. The actor also explained why he, being a male, plays a female character on this show.

Everyone asks me why I played a girl's role: Ali
During the interview, when Mukesh asked Ali, “Don't you find it vulgar to play such roles?” Ali replied, “Sir, first of all I would like to say that this is your personal view, so I will not say anything on this. Other people always ask me why I become a girl despite being a boy. So I have two reasons for this.”
Ali also participated in the dance reality show 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' with this character.
'If we had taken any senior actress, there would have been a problem'
Citing the first reason, Ali said, 'The shooting time of our show was very different. After shooting two episodes in a day, we used to shoot again late at night. In such a situation, we thought that if we made a senior actress a grandmother, then she would have difficulty shooting due to her old age.'
Meanwhile, Mukesh Khanna interrupted Ali and said that this is not the right reason. Don't heroines work all night?
Apart from TV shows, Ali has also appeared in many films. This photo is from the shooting of the film 'Tees Maar Khan' in which Salman Khan appeared in a guest role.
This character has the freedom to joke: Ali
After this, citing the second reason, Ali said- 'The second reason was that when we make a boy into a girl, then it is not an original character. In such a situation, we can have a lot of fun and frolic with utmost freedom. Since it is not an original character, no one can express displeasure.'
Ali played the role of Dadi in Comedy Nights with Kapil from 2013 to 2016. He was seen in the character of Nani in The Kapil Sharma Show which ran from 2016 to 2017.
