Ali Asgar, beloved for his portrayal of Dadi on Kapil Sharma's comedy show, recently discussed his departure from the role during an appearance on Maniesh Paul's podcast. He revealed that he chose to leave to explore more varied acting opportunities, feeling trapped in a cycle of playing female characters. Asgar expressed concern over the impact of his comedic roles on his children, who faced bullying because of his on-screen persona. He shared a humorous yet poignant reflection, noting that while iconic characters in films like 'Deewaar' have memorable lines, no one wrote 'Mera baap aurat hai' (My father is a woman) on his son's arm. This experience, combined with his desire to grow as an actor, influenced his decision to step back from drag comedy, despite the fame and financial stability it provided. Asgar has also appeared in films such as 'Partner', 'Tees Maar Khan', 'Judwaa 2', and 'Shehzada'.
