“All the children of this generation believe that they can follow their happiness,” says Zarna Garg in the trailer for their new Hulu Special – Before you turn your heel as always: “No! You will make money on your misery!”
In “Practical People Win”, Garg does just that; Maybe not with misery exactly, but mining her life for cheeky cultural observations and punchlines as always. One minute trailer for her special pokes fun on her son, husband and mother-in-law-as all the Zarna fan knows are couples for the course. As Hulus press release put it, “she takes goals against men, children, in -laws and anyone who dares to question an Indian mother’s wisdom.”
Garg rose to fame during the early days of Covid-19-Lockdown, when she started as a standup comedian and her oldest son began posting it to social media.
