She described it as the "best job in the world," stating, "I am laughing all the way to the bank. I am having the best time...to watch one episode, one show, people crave to catch the event...and I am there watching it like a guest, every time."

During a recent media interaction, she addressed criticism about her tendency to laugh at subpar jokes on The Kapil Sharma Show.

She clarified that this no longer happens and explained that in the past if a joke didn't hit its mark, producers would use her laughter as a filler.

This strategy backfired and led to criticism directed toward her, which she has since taken steps to rectify.
