I had finished 'Jestination Unknown' around the same time so by virtue of that I'd learnt that humor is rooted in local styles and culture. There is more banter. The stories are intimate. I used all of that in Hasmukh's set. Watching more and more comics nudged me towards finding the right persona for 'Hasmukh'."
