The multi-lingual actor-host is also on the time-travelling meWATCH drama ‘Future Proof’.

. We do a lot of short, 5–10-minute video content, one if it’s for Instagram. It’s very short and high energy all the way so we can retain people’s attention. But for a feature film, it’s long-form, and there are a lot of nuances to it. My takeaway is that it’s very different acting in a movie as opposed to acting in a comedy video. It’s very different doing scripted versus unscripted work as well, because someone else wrote this script.

You’re the only non-Chinese in the cast. Are you concerned that your character AK is a token comic relief? I would be the first to call it out, and Kuo Sin is very nice and open to opinions. I knew as a matter of fact, when I read the script, I was not just a token minority. Although yes, I am the only Indian person in the movie — or rather the only non-Chinese — but I wasn’t just there to make stereotypical Indian jokes or stuff like that. All the jokes that were made about AK, or with AK, were really part of what he intended to be.

This is a silly question. Have you ever unintentionally eavesdropped on people’s conversations in public? Especially around Chinese people who assume you don’t understand Mandarin… I do a lot — I can’t help it. Because if I’m sitting in a train and someone’s talking next to you, you listen. In the past, when I was a lot younger in primary and secondary school — when you didn’t have headphones — you’re [always] listening in, right? So I do eavesdrop on a lot of people’s personal lives — breakup conversations or even very intimate discussions that people have. Because they’re thinking, “He wouldn’t understand, right?” Sometimes we also do that, what.
