Vir Das and Sorabh Pant have known each other for a decade; Pant having started his stand-up career opening a show for Das and being a co-writer for the show News on the Loose, which featured the duo. The camaraderie shows till the end of the interview, when they spend a good 20 minutes on the sidewalk outside the restaurant, catching up. But prior, they settle down at a sun-lit table in a BKC eatery, and discuss the Indian stand-up scene over warm poee and sangria.
