Poet-comedian-actor Sailesh Lodha feels that these days comedy shows on TV help to free tension in one's life.
"Comedy-satire is today's need for every one who could not find time for a smile or peace in their busy schedule, Lodha who was awarded "Pratibha Samman" and a cash price of Rs.1 lac told PTI.
"Every one wants a few minutes in his busy schedule to live stress free life and for which comedy takes you away from your routine thought process and acts as a stress tranquilliser," added the 'Tarak Mehta ka ulta chashma' star.
