When Tusshar gets tickled

WHO: Tusshar Kapoor
WHAT: Talking about his funny boneu00a0
WHERE: At his Juhu residence

"I can be unintentionally funny. There are times when I have said things quite seriously, but people around me have burst into laughter," confesses actor Tusshar Kapoor. The actor who is known for some great comic performances and timing says that he finds humour in every aspect of his life, except work. "I am dead serious about it," he says. Tusshar lists down some of his funny experiences:

Filmi faux pas
I was once coming out of a theatre with a friend, when the usher came to me with a piece of paper. I thought he was asking for an autograph and was about to sign it, when he said "Sir, this is your bill. You have to pay Rs 80 to the theatre, which is pending from the last time you saw a film here!" Frankly, I was quite taken aback. Then, I fished out my credit card, but he told me that the theatre didn't accept credit cards. Whenever I remember that incident I laugh a lot because the guy totally dented my cool dude image (laughs out loud).

Mischief maker
My friend Lovely had come down to Ooty, where I was shooting recently. One day, Ajay (Devgn), Arshad (Warsi), Kunal (Khemu) and I got the housekeeper to open his (Lovely's) hotel room in his absence and ransacked it like robbers do as a prank. Obviously he freaked out when he saw the condition of his room, but took it quite sportingly when we told him the truth.

Dumb and dumber
I have a seven-year-old fan who happens to be a friend's nephew. After watching Golmaal, he thought that I was dumb in real life. Of course, people told him that it wasn't true and that I could speak fluently, but he wasn't convinced. So one day, my friend brought him home to meet me and asked him to say hello to me. He started arguing with her right there saying that she was fooling him. I was in splits. It was only when I finally spoke for ten minutes did he believe that I could actually talk!u00a0

Toilet trouble
There's another funny incident associated with Ramoji Film city. I was once shooting for a film there and I remember that the entire crew was totally sleepless the first night there. The reason? Well, the WCs in the toilets of the hotel rooms flushed allu00a0 night without anyone actually using the toilet. I am a deep sleeper, so none of it affected me. But it was quite funny to see the rest of the cast and crew hunting for a plumber in the middle of the night.u00a0
