Vir Das responds angrily to a troll who inquires about how he obtained a girlfriend

 

On Wednesday, Vir tweeted, "At age 21, my then-girlfriend and I were both just completely broke. Two children from India received substantial funding. We then went to the mall on Christmas Eve, gave each other a fictitious budget of 2,000, and separated for an hour. At the moment seemed to be the entire planet. Then we got together again and proceeded from store to store demonstrating what we WOULD'VE purchased for each other if we had money. 

A completely fictitious Christmas. After that, we split an ice cream and boarded a bus home. Many years later, when writing a screenplay for a movie, you need a scene in the second act that makes you cheer for a pair, and a memory just pops into your head.

Many people responded to Vir's tweet and commented on it. Vir took notice of one particular remark in particular. The commenter had written, "Tujh namoone ki gf bhi thi kamaal hai (A sample like you also had a girlfriend, that must be amazing)" Vir responded with a violent retort. "Sunny, bina keyboard vaala pyaar, ek din tere bhi life me pyaar aayega. be persistent. You will also experience true love at some point; don't worry, it won't involve a keyboard.

In December of last year, Vir Das made a comeback to Netflix with his brand-new stand-up special, "Landing." The one-hour show, which he also directed, was all about exploring the world while bringing one's nation with you and the idea of home.
