ADD TRIVIA
- When asked in 2009, what bugs him, he answered bloggers, bad customer service and unfunny comedians. Nobody would 'read or care about what [bloggers] have to say. Not when [they are] commenting about today's episode of Tyra'. Also, he expects to be treated with respect and professionalism when he is a paying customer and he thinks that, lately, a lot of stand-up comedians are delusional about being funny with nobody telling them differently.

ADD QUOTES
- Adhir Kalyan: (on his clearest memory from childhood) I was telling my parents a story after dinner. I was 6, dressed in my pyjamas, standing in front of them in our living room. I was describing the emotional state of a character, and I said 'he was so fucking angry.' I froze immediately. (His mother asked him to repeat it and he wouldn't.) I dropped my head, turned around, and went to my room. It was fairly clear story-time was over. That's what Jeffrey said anyway. He was my imaginary friend.

- Adhir Kaylan: (in March 2009) Thus far in the States, I have been very fortunate to play a variety of characters, the minority of whom have been Indian characters, the majority, characters who so happen to be Indian.

- Adhir Kalyan: (joking about his character in the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop) The only similarity that I do share with Pahud is that he enjoys being in a semi or completely nude state is his apartment and that's the way I choose to spend my time in privacy as well. But not out on the red carpet? No, I mean. And that is not because I feel a need to put on clothing onto my body. It's just that I know that other people aren't quite as comfortable with my nudity as I am.
