She said, “Mimicry is a form of comedy that I chose to do, and I feel that very few people are skilled at it. I have a knack for it, so I wanted to use it to push myself in the field and it has been a big advantage for me.” “Actually, it was not dad, but Asha ji (Bhosle) was the first personality whom I mimicked, and that’s how I began this fun-filled business of imitation. Mujhe dad ki mimicry toh karni bhi nahi thi, aur mujhe aati bhi nahi thi (Honestly, I never wanted to and I did not even know how to mimic my dad). But it’s always a request from people whenever I perform,” Jamie said. The Kapil Sharma Show: Ranveer Singh Mighty Impressed with Comedian Sidharth Sagar After His ‘Funveer Singh’ Act.
Sharing how she learnt to mimic her father, Jamie said, “I remember when I was doing a comedy show on TV, the director asked me to mimic dad, and I was left clueless. Then, my co-star from the show, Mubeen Saugdagar, taught me the tricks to mimic him. So, I learnt to mimic dad from Mubeen and then started doing it on people’s requests.”
A Spin Around Dubai shows an adventurous tour of Dubai through the eyes of Jamie and Jesse Lever. The three-episode series explores nine exciting locations with no itinerary and just a spinning wheel in hand that decides where they head to in the city. The show streams on MX Player.
