Jamuniya fame Rajat Verma: Comedy gives instant feedback, but it’s also the toughest genre

Actor Rajat Verma, known for his roles in Beyhadh 2, Dahej Daasi, Ishq Par Zor Nahi, and Jamuniya, believes that while many actors dream of doing comedy, mastering the genre is far from easy. He opens up about the challenges and joy of making people laugh, calling comedy a true test of timing and talent.
“Comedy is a dream for many actors because it gives you instant feedback—if people laugh, you’ve nailed it,” he says. “But it’s definitely tougher than serious roles. In a dramatic scene, you can build up emotion, but in comedy, you have a split second to land it. And the audience will tell you immediately if it worked or not.”

When asked about his comedy inspirations, Rajat names Akshay Kumar, Rajpal Yadav, and Sanjay Mishra. “They have this incredible range. They can make you laugh with just a look or a single line. There’s a lovable innocence in their performances, even when they play ridiculous characters. Their ability to be both hilarious and heartfelt makes them stand out.”
He also highlights the shift in audience preferences, saying, “Today, people love content that’s rooted in reality. Relatable, slice-of-life comedy works really well—stories where you see your own life reflected in a funny way. Intelligent writing, everyday humour, and real characters—those are the ingredients for success now.”

As he reflects on his recent show, Rajat shares a heartfelt message for fans. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for watching and supporting our show. We aimed to deliver an important message—never judge or discriminate based on someone’s appearance. What truly matters is their inner beauty, heart, and character. If even a few viewers embraced that, we’ve achieved something meaningful. Your love made the journey worthwhile.”
