'Female humor hasn't been explored...'

"And most recently, I would like to mention Nidhi (Bisht) in Mamla Legal Hai." "After watching the show, I tried to find her on Instagram. There's a scene where she speaks about the kinds of abuses we have; it's iconic." "Female humor hasn't been explored a lot in India."
