Meet Sammy and Naz, a Melbourne-based comedy couple who are famous on social media for their 'Husband -Wife Funny Moments' videos.

Following the success of their online series, the comedy couple has now found themselves in an encouraging situation.

Their comic comes from within the Punjabi community and they feel it’s important to keep challenging various social issues through short videos.

“The idea is to cherish the day-to-day funny moments, and if we are able to relate it to people’s lives, it will make them laugh,” said Sammy in an interview with SBS Punjabi.
The passion for acting since their college days led Sammy and Nazia who now live in Melbourne, to venture into short video production two years ago.

Since then, their social media following has grown to nearly 400,000 Facebook fans. 

"It's not our bread and butter at the moment, but I am definitely serious about taking a shot at acting profession some day in the future," Sammy tells SBS Punjabi.
As their popularity as a funny couple grew, the couple expanded the star cast with other family members now appearing regularly in the videos.
Sammy's mother Surinder Kaur is proving to be just as popular, if not more, as Sammy or Nazia themselves. She has nearly 50,000 Facebook followers in a short time she has been on social media. 

Their videos are mostly short and simple, featuring the couple themselves and their other family members and friends.
They generally recreate the moments most families in rural Punjab, where they come from, would have, and give it a light, humorous touch.
