Smriti Mundhra On Importance of INDIAN Identities In Stories | What Do You Bring To The Table Podcast #RajivSatyal #comedy #podcast --- About Rajiv Satyal: Rajiv Satyal is an experienced comedian and host based in Los Angeles, known for his clean, family-friendly comedy that resonates with a broad and diverse audience. He began his stand-up journey in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born and raised. His first performance was far from conventional—it took place in a locker room for then-world number one tennis player Pete Sampras. Since that unusual beginning, Rajiv has achieved numerous milestones. He performed as the opening act for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of a 17,000-strong audience and created the viral video “I AM INDIAN,” which has garnered over 100 million views. The video gained popularity among Bollywood stars and was used during Modi’s introductions in Shanghai and Dubai. Rajiv is also notable for being the first comedian to deliver a full solo stand-up show in India. He has opened for Russell Peters more than any other Indian comic and has performed alongside comedy legends such as Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle—including Chappelle’s first post-Africa show. One of Rajiv’s career highlights was closing his set at Gotham Comedy Club in New York right after his comedy idol, Jerry Seinfeld. --- About Smriti Mundhra: Smriti Mundhra, born on July 3, 1980, is an American filmmaker residing in Los Angeles.
