Were Mughals Gay ?? | Stand Up Comedy by Gulshan Kumar

About this Video

In this nine-minute set, Farzi Gulshan humorously reexamines Mughal history, specifically questioning whether Akbar might have been gay. The comedian, performing as Gulshan Kumar, blends his own experiences as a Bihari newcomer in Delhi with a playful take on LGBTQ+ terminology and relationships. He recounts a funny first encounter with these concepts in the city, then pivots to lighthearted speculation about Akbar’s sexuality. Personal jokes about his girlfriend’s fantasies round out the performance. Farzi Gulshan’s style relies on self-deprecating confusion and historical irreverence, turning personal awkwardness and cultural clash into a steady stream of relatable, offbeat laughs.
