Television reality show ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’ has returned after nine years.

This season the show has cool mentors like Zakir Khan, Hussain Dalal and Mallika Dua and an amazing judge, who is none other than Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar.

The best thing about the show is its first contestant Abhay Kumar Sharma, who hails from Uttar Pradesh.

Abhay, who is blind, entertained the mentors, judge and the audience with his punches.

He described how he got rejected for the role of a blind person, because he didn’t look blind enough.

Abhay’s brilliance of making fun of stereotypes about the blind in films and television was widely appreciated in the first episode of the show.
