Moni Mohsin likes to laugh and makes us laugh too. The third installment of the Butterfly series is out —The Return of the Butterfly, and the one time stand-up comedian has not slowed down in her scathing banter. She is the khaata-peeta type who you can’t interview but ask for jokes, and more jokes, and gawk around to know where they’re coming from. “People can interpret it as they like — a satire, social commentary or chick lit,” says Mohsin’s genteel voice who with her biting humour created the character, Butterfly in the pages of Pakistani newspaper, Friday Times in the 1990s. Over a decade later, it is hard not to quote her.

Mohsin usually poses for a photographer and is willing to get Photoshopped as per her blog. This is because, once, when she tried to be clicked ‘naturally’, she ended up looking like a “depressed author” in her words.
