TOP FIVE COMEDIANS IN TV SHOWS

These funsters make us smile and laugh heartily with their antics and punchlines. Because acting funny' is their forte. It's so much tougher, to make home-audiences laugh, than to make them cry. This week, ADC makes its exclusive pick..

Dilipbhai Joshi

The star of the long running TV show ‘Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chasmaah’, is known for his quick wit and dialogue delivery and simple humour. He plays the popular character of Jethalal Gada. His deadpan comedy with a typical Gujarati accent and lingo and his equation with co-star, Disha Vakhani is the reason behind the long running success of the sitcom which is still among the top charts in the TRP ratings.

Sandeep Anand

He plays the deadpan manager of USE ME Advertising, who is in love with his beautiful boss played by Neha Pendse. Sandeep is a comic of great talent and has made the show very popular. Though the show has a lot of sexual overtones, it is clean and not at all vulgar. A show that appeals to all sections of the audiences and the chemistry between Sandeep and Neha is one of the reasons that the show is successful.

Yash Pal Sharma

He plays a tired and frustrated salesman who is bullied by everybody until one day he meets Lord Shiva in person who guides him through his difficult times. The show seems to be popular and Yashpal Sharma, who is known for his villainous roles, attempts comedy for the first time successfully. No one would have imagined Yashpal in a comedy role but the man has pulled it off successfully and the bad man has turned into a good funny guy.

Paresh Ganatra

Paresh plays the extremely popular character of Ghotak Kesari Narayan in the popular show 'Chidiya Ghar' in which all characters are named after animals and Paresh brings the house down with his funny face and antics. He has played many such simple Joe characters in shows and films but this show has given him a good opportunity to gain popularity as a comedy star.

Gopi Bhalla

He was popular in the long running show F.I.R and is now seen as a health aide in the hospital based show 'Dr. Bhanumati on Duty'. His hawaaldar act in F.I.R appealed to many and his comic timing with Kavita Kaushik was one of the talked about facets of the show. 'Dr.Bhanumati on Duty' also has Gopi as Lovely Singh Dhingra who is slowly gaining popularity.
