Twitter went into overdrive yesterday when Kal Penn of the Harold & Kumar series fame posted a video that saw him as Ladies Bhai, a flamboyant Gujarati who claims to have a way with women. While his 45-second-long spoof on Gujarati stereotype earned him many a laugh, a fan tweeted that the actor deserves a place in India's longest comedy show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah (TMKOC).
The innocent remark got a prompt reply from Penn, who wrote, "You joke but this has legit been a goal", thus sending Twitterati into a frenzy. Soon enough, fans started urging the makers of the sitcom to rope in the Indo-American actor.
