TIMING is the last word when it comes to comic characters, said ace Bollywood comedian, Rajpal Yadav.

The actor, who tasted immense popularity due to his performanc­e in comic roles, shared a tip for young actors who are enthusiast­ic about comedy movies.

“Everything depends upon your timing. That is the most important thing. If your timing is not correct, then comedy will become a tragedy. You can practice dance, climbing a mountain and action stunts, but to get your timing right, you have to have the power of imaginatio­n and an alert mind. Your timing should match with that of your co-actor, and that’s the secret to success in a comic role,” Rajpal said.

Rajpal has been a popular choice for comic roles in Bollywood for two decades. When quizzed about his popularity among the audience, the actor replied: “I feel it is the blessing of my parents and my guruji that audiences shower me with so much love. As I said, timing is the most important thing. It will either make you a zero or a hero. I feel lucky that I have been getting nice roles in the comic genre. Today, I am what I am is because of this industry and the audience.”

On the work front, Rajpal Yadav has his kitty full with movies like Coolie No. 1 and Hungama 2.

Talking about working with David Dhawan in Coolie No. 1, the actor shared: “My relationsh­ip with David Dhawan saab is 20 years old.i have worked with him in movies like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Maine

Pyar Kyun Kiya, Partner and Judwaa 2 and every time I have enjoyed the experience.”
