When heading to a quaint cafe in Bandra to catch up with stand-up comedian and the erstwhile AIB co-creator Ashish Shakya, we assumed our chat would be filled with more than a fair share of laughs. As we got talking about his latest Amazon Prime Video special, Life is Good, it was evident that Shakya — like his comedy — had matured with time. The comedian not only addressed his fear of getting back on stage, but also admitted to "learning" from the #MeToo India movement.
