Starring in multiple television serials beginning with Ulta Pulta, he is credited to have taken stand up comedy to great heights in India, blazing the trail for a whole generation of comedians in the country.
His wife, Savita Bhatti was always by his side, whether it was "protests" staged by the Nonsense Club, a television serial or a Bollywood / Pollywood film.
Now, four years after the King of Comedy passed away in a tragic accident. Savita Bhatti is doing everything possible to keep her husband's legacy alive. Together with the Chandigarh administration, a humour festival is held in the city on Jaspal Bhatti's birthday every year, giving a platform to amateur comedians to perform in Punjabi, Hindi or English.
Savita Bhatti is currently in Australia, the first time after Jaspal ji's passing, and will soon take the stage with her show "Saanu ki".
