My mom gets a laughter kick: Kettan Singh on 'Munna Mummy'

MUMBAI: Actor, comedian, voice-over artist, and content creator, Kettan Singh is a jack of all trades. And even though he is not seen on-screen quite often, he keeps his fans hooked to his funny content on social media. And the most unique and engaging of them is his segment called "Munna Mummy". It gets instant clicks and love from everyone especially because his mom is the star of the series.

Asked him how he came up with the idea of "Munna Munny", the "Shankar Jaikishan 3 in 1" actor said, "It just started during the lockdown. I found this filter and told my mom to ask me something, basic childhood stuff that has happened with me. You won't believe I was very bad at nursery rhymes and couldn't differentiate between a couple of Hindi alphabets till class 9th. So, when I found that baby face filter, my mom was sitting just next to me, and I told her to ask me to count from one to ten and give me a good scolding if I am not able to do so. And that's how 'Munna Mummy' started." 

"I only make them when I get a good idea, and not on random stuff. And my mom gets a laughter kick, if she starts laughing once, she can go on for a long time. So, everyone loved it, and in fact, my mom got hugely appreciated. Now, if I post a video alone or with someone else, everyone asks me 'Where is aunty?'," he added.

There is something else about his social media accounts that connects him with his fans. Even though he has been in the industry for quite some time you wouldn't find any glammed up photos of him on social media, it's all real. Believe it or not, if he posts a "straight out of bed" look, it will actually be a straight out of bed look.

    
"I have never had a portfolio shoot done. Whatever I post on social media is either from my phone, or I get a couple of pics clicked during shoots, that's it. Even casting directors these days ask for a normal pic and that works in my favour. I am more focussed on content than looking glamorous on camera. So even on my Instagram, it's mostly content," he said.

Kettan made his small screen debut with "Shankar Jaikishan 3 in 1" in 2017. He has also been part of shows like "Nautanki — The Comedy Theatre" and "Dr. Madhumati On Duty". The actor also made his Marathi debut in 2019 with "Vicky Velingkar".
