Zarna Garg with Barkha Dutt: From Homemaker to Comedy Queen | 'When I Met Modi...'
Zarna Garg’s fearless chat with Barkha Dutt celebrates laughter, ambition, and Desi pride — proving it’s never too late to follow your passion.
In a delightful and inspiring conversation with Ms Barkha Dutt, Indian-American comedian Zarna Garg — once a lawyer and now a global comedy sensation — shares her remarkable journey from Mumbai to Manhattan. A proud immigrant, Desi mom, and social media star, Zarna has shattered stereotypes by turning everyday chaos into sharp, hilarious storytelling.
She recalls growing up in Mumbai in a strict Gujarati household, her rebellious teenage years, and the moment she defied expectations by leaving home at 14. Her journey to America was lonely, but it shaped her grit. Years later, encouraged by her children, she tried stand-up at an open mic — and discovered her true calling.
From her Bollywood-inspired humor to her signature “Aunty with a Pineapple” persona, Zarna embraces her roots unapologetically. She performs in kurtas and bindis on American stages, saying, “The more I ground myself in who I am, the more power I have to be who I need to be.”
Balancing laughter with life lessons, Zarna speaks about ambition, independence, and owning success as a woman. “Every woman should have her own money,” she declares, stressing that ambition and motherhood can go hand in hand.
As Barkha Dutt concludes, Zarna’s story is not just about making people laugh — it’s about showing that courage, humor, and identity can coexist beautifully.
