During her appearance on The Tonight Show, Zarna shared that it was her kids who encouraged her to try her hand at comedy. And while they may have been the catalyst for her comedy career, Zarna jokes that if anyone hates her jokes, they can blame her children.
Zarna’s relatable and hilarious comedy revolves around her Indian background and the cultural differences she has experienced. She jokes about how Indians don’t believe in fun and how her children found a way to get their mom out of the house nights and weekends.
But comedy isn’t the only thing Zarna is good at. Before her stand-up career took off, she was a lawyer licensed to practice in New York. However, she admits that she was not the best at it, as all her clients ended up in jail. But her experience as a lawyer and a stay-at-home mom for 16 years have only added depth to her comedy.
Zarna has found tremendous success in the comedy world, opening for big names like Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. She even celebrated her birthday at the Beacon Theatre with a star-studded party thrown by the SNL cast.
Now, Zarna has released a memoir called “This American Woman,” dedicated to all American women who have inspired her to use her voice. She shares stories of her life before stepping foot in America and how she encountered challenges for having a big mouth and opinions. But through it all, Zarna emphasizes that she has learned the importance of using her voice and embracing her American identity.
In addition to her memoir, Zarna stars in the movie “A Nice Indian Boy.” Originally hesitant to take on the role, Zarna’s director convinced her by pointing out that she was perfect for the part of a mother disappointed in her husband and kids. With the movie receiving rave reviews and an impressive 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Zarna’s leap into acting has definitely paid off.
“A Nice Indian Boy” tells the story of an Indian family, the Gavaskars, as they navigate their son’s gay relationship with a white boyfriend. The movie explores the challenges they face and their attempts to embrace and understand their son’s relationship. It’s a heartfelt and love-filled story that will surely tug at your heartstrings.
