Meet Deepika Mhatre, Maid-Turned-Comedian Who Smiles In The Face Of Challenges

Chaitra Krishnan Hyderabd040-395603080 August 26, 2019

Many of us are privileged enough to have all the comforts we desire in life. But, the rest of the people who struggle day and night to make ends meet earn their happiness the hard way. Even so, many among them are a lot happier than those who are born with a silver spoon—a true testament to the fact that money can’t buy happiness. Taking a step further towards grace, some people turn their hardships into humor. They turn their life lessons into a reason into a story that has the potential to make others laugh. Lucky are these people who can see even the most painful things through the glasses of humor. Deepika Mhatre, a domestic help who went on to explore the world of stand up comedy has a similar story to share.

Stand up comedy has been on a rise in India over the past few years and comedians are loved as much as cricketers and Bollywood actors. But, Deepika Mhatre is a stand-up comedian who is rather different from all the others you’ve seen. She sells imitation jewelry in Mumbai local trains, works as a maid, takes care of an entire household, and then comes under the spotlight by evening with a big broad smile. Her smile is contagious and her audience will definitely agree to that. So, how did all this happen? How did a housemaid become a comedian by profession? Let’s take a brief walk through Deepika’s heartwarming journey to laughter.

Who Is Deepika Mhatre

Hailing from Mumbai, Deepika Mhatre comes from a family of five comprising of her husband and three daughters. Her husband suffers from asthma which makes her the sole bread earner of the family. Until a year ago, a typical day in Deepika’s life starts at four in the morning. She sells imitation jewelry in the local trains of Mumbai and by 7 AM, she goes to Malad for her to attend to her second job. At this job, she cooks in several houses in the area and returns home by 4 in the evening for a brief period of rest. This is the time she gets to finish her household chores. We can imagine her plight taking care of three young daughters and a husband who is sick.

After her break, she wears her cape and goes off to help people live a happy life by spreading joy and laughter. However, she has skipped the cooking role since her deteriorating health doesn’t permit her to continue with such a hectic lifestyle. Now, let’s take a look at how Deepika, the maid became a familiar face for those who love the stand-up comedy scene.

The Hidden Talent Of Making People Laugh

Deepika Mhatre got her big break at an event for maids, which was organized by her former employer Sangeeta Vyas. Since the maids never got to enjoy even during holidays, Sangeeta organized the event, so that they maids in her locality got a day to have fun and showcase their talents. Among the audience who laughed their heart out during Deepika’s performance was Rachel Lopez, a Hindustan Times reporter. She recognized Deepika’s talent and introduced her to Aditi Mittal, one of India’s most popular stand-up comedians.

Aditi also realized that Deepika was an unexplored pool of talent and urged her to get up on a professional platform as soon as possible. Hence, Deepika made her professional debut on “Bad Girls,” Aditi Mittal’s comedy show. In her first-ever performance on a professional stage, Deepika spoke about her daily life just like a normal person, but carefully fitting in punchlines and humor that made the crowd applaud and laugh. She spoke about the “sticker” that we see on goods and how people value them. Narrating a funny incident from her own experience, she said that when she sold jewelry in the trains and told people the price of an item, people bargained with her to cut down the price. However, this did not happen once she started sticking the price labels on them. From this, she concluded that people’s respect for stickers is higher than the mercy they have on the seller.

In a conversation with a media channel, Deepika said, “I talk about my employers. Not all of them treated me with equal respect. Some of them would expect me to only work, but not offer basic courtesy—water, or food. And, those who did offer me food would expect me to eat from a different plate. Those experiences have now become material for my act. And when you’re making jokes on stage, no one feels bad about what you’re saying.”

Today, Deepika’s life is filled with laughter— hers, as well as many others. And, with her eldest daughter also contributing to the family income, things are going well for the whole family. Deepika’s story is an example of how we can enjoy life and stay positive even during the darkest of times. We wish Deepika and her career a bright future!

Emily Deschanel Calls Her Son The “Vegan Police”

Vegan actor and animal rights activist Emily Deschanel jokingly refers to her six-year-old son Henry as the “vegan police.” The “Bones” star is raising her children to be conscious of the food they eat.

“It was his choice to become 100 percent vegan,” Deschanel told Us Weekly at the Mercy for Animals Hidden Heroes Gala. She joked: “He’s kind of like the little vegan police now. I have to watch what he’s doing socially so he doesn’t alienate people!”

Emily Deschanel and her partner, actor David Hornsby have a second son, three-year-old Calvin. Just like his brother, Calvin loves his vegetables and is learning about where his food comes from. “From birth, they’ve been vegetarian,” Deschanel said. “We talk to them about why we eat the way we do.”

As well as being ethically minded, Emily Deschanel is also raising health-conscious children. Speaking to natural lifestyle website Mother News Network in February 2013, the vegan celeb revealed, “I read ‘Disease-Proof Your Child‘ by Dr. Fuhrman, and think it is a must-read for parents trying to raise a healthy child.”

Henry has always eaten healthily. “Someone gave him candy at a party not long ago and he asked, ‘Why did they give this to me? I don’t eat candy!’’” Deschanel told the website Garden of Life in 2015. “So, I’m really proud of him because nutrition is important to me, and I love it when I have these victories.”

Deschanel stopped eating meat at age 13, after she watched a documentary from a factory farm “Diet for a New America.” The star told Hindustan Times that the film turned her vegetarian instantly and she became vegan a year or two after that. “Animal cruelty really got to me. Billions of animals are killed every year for food – and animals are pretty amazing creatures, and I hate the idea of them dying for people to eat them,” she said.

The actor supports many organizations that take steps to protect farm animal rights. She is the Education Committee Chair and Development Committee Member at Farm Sanctuary, a safe haven for rescued farm animals. Last week, she, along with many other vegan celebs, helped to raise $1.2 million to support animal rights nonprofit Mercy for Animals at its annual Hidden Heroes Gala.

The star, was very excited to attend the Mercy for Animals event. “I think they’re a very important organization in the animal rights movement,” she explained. “They open eyes about what is going on in the meat and dairy industry.”

Emily Deschanel is also one of many investors in the new Pig Out vegan bacon chips made by snack startup Outstanding Foods.

The bishop who officiated Aretha Franklin’s funeral apologised on Friday to Ariana Grande for how he touched her onstage and a joke he made about her name. Bishop Charles H. Ellis III led Franklin’s funeral and awkwardly greeted Grande on stage after she performed “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.” Images of the moment showed Ellis’ hand holding Grande well above her waist, with the fingers of one hand pressing against one side of her chest. “It would never be my intention to touch any woman’s breast,” he clarified.
