Lilly Singh On 'Manifesting' Shah Rukh Khan Energy

Lilly is currently making many headlines for her podcast titled Shameless, recalling when she visited Mumbai before, Singh admits she's learning its ways slowly and steadily. She said, "I'm still learning. People told me it's hard to confirm things. ‘Tension mat lo, things will happen.’ As a control freak that's something I had to learn. What comes around with that flexibility is ‘jugaad’. I even tell my team in Los Angeles to do 'jugaad' pretend you are in Mumbai and make it happen." Further, Lilly talked about the time when Shah Rukh Khan had hosted her at Mannat, she added, "It was one of the greatest days of my life, being hosted at Mannat. Which is why when I landed I wore an SRK shirt. What's funny is everytime I'm in Mumbai in an auto, the rickshaw driver will say 'Madam that's Shah Rukh Khan's house' and I say 'Oh really.' Of course I don't tell them I've been in his house. I met his family, had lunch there. He gave me one of his blazers that I have till date."

On Work Front

Talking about her work, she shared, "I like acting and writing, not a fan of producing. The difference between working in LA and I imagine in India is I assume everyone understands that culture and landscape. In LA majority of the crew does not look like me. The person making the props and editing does not understand the culture. The result is the producer has to do a lot more work. There's a lot more education and it puts the burden on the diverse person.""When I hosted a late night show I had producers emailing me 'Can you translate this Hindi word for us' We dont know what it means.' The word was Madhuri Dixit! I had to explain its not a word, its someone's name who I have referenced many times. A simple Google search would show you that theres so much educating to do, it takes away time and energy from other things," Singh concluded.
