Kal Penn of the Harold & Kumar series fame posted a video yesterday that saw him as Ladies Bhai, a flamboyant Gujarati who claims to have his way with women. While his 45-second-long spoof on Gujarati stereotype earned him many a laugh, a fan tweeted that the actor deserves a place in India's longest comedy show, Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah.

And guess what; this remark got a prompt reply from Penn, who replied, "You joke but this has legit been a goal". Soon after this small conversation, fans started urging the makers of the sitcom to rope in the Indo-American actor.
You joke but this has legit been a goal.
