00:00In India, only about 1 in 100 marriages end up in a divorce.
00:04Also, 101 marital rape cases are not considered as rape.
00:08101?
00:09Shagun.
00:11Indian housewives hold 11% of the world's entire gold reserve.
00:15But 0% human rights.
00:25I like to do this thing where I wear shorts
00:28and have a leg full of hair
00:29and I go for a walk on the street
00:31and I can see all the creeps on the road just go from
00:32Yeah!
00:33to Ugh!
00:37But then there's one guy that stares anyway.
00:40And isn't that kind of progressive?
00:59I have seen more careless cocaine smugglers at the Afghan border.
01:26So here's a history lesson.
01:28In the 9th century, men wore high heels.
01:31Yeah.
01:32But they don't anymore because high heels are stupid
01:35and even men figured that out.
01:43We'll get, actually, event organisers will call and be like
01:45Excuse me, we are looking for a female comedian.
01:47And at first I'll be like
01:48Narishakti, what's the discount?
01:51And then they'll be like, okay, female comedian?
01:53Can you send us her picture?
01:55What?
01:57I'm like, do you want to shake it or laugh at it?
02:00So when you're first married, she used to call my husband
02:0210 times a day.
02:03Like it used to be 12, but she didn't want to come through
02:06as overbearing.
02:07Right?
02:07So 10 times a day, she used to call and ask after his mental
02:10and physical health, his emotional well-being,
02:12what he did that day, what he plans to do,
02:14what he ate that day, what he plans to eat,
02:15if we had sex, we plan to have sex.
02:17Usual motherly concerns.
02:27A bowl of male tears.
02:29You'll find them anywhere,
02:30if you run out of electricity during cricket matches,
02:32you'll find them easily.
02:34But if there's a problem,
02:35then you'll find a lot in the comment section of this video.
