Smriti Mundhra On Representing INDIANS In Her Stories | What Do You Bring To The Table Podcast #RajivSatyal #comedy #podcast --- About Rajiv Satyal: Rajiv Satyal is an accomplished comedian and host based in Los Angeles, known for his clean, family-oriented comedy that resonates with diverse audiences. He began his stand-up journey in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born and raised. His first performance was far from typical—it took place in a locker room for then-world number one tennis champion Pete Sampras. Since that unusual beginning, Rajiv has achieved several notable milestones. He performed as an opening act for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in front of 17,000 people and created the viral video “I AM INDIAN,” which garnered over 100 million views. The video was widely shared by Bollywood stars and used during Modi’s introductions in Shanghai and Dubai. Rajiv also made history as the first comedian to deliver a full-length 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 performance after returning from Africa. One of Rajiv’s career highlights was closing a set at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club immediately following his comedy idol, Jerry Seinfeld. --- About Smriti Mundhra: Smriti Mundhra, born on July 3, 1980, is a Los Angeles-based American filmmaker and the founder of Meralta Films, a production company focused on documentaries and non-fiction storytelling.
