Pakistani-American comedian Kumail Nanjiani began stand-up comedy in 2009 and quickly rose to fame as one of the funniest comedians in the commerce. His success with stand-up led to small roles at first,but soon enough he landed his own live-comedy show The Meltdown with comedian Jonah Ray on Comedy Central. It was quickly followed by a starring role on one of the most hilarious Home Box Office (HBO) comedy series,Silicon Valley.

Nanjiani is perhaps still best known for his role as the Pakistani software-engineer, or Dinesh Chughtai on Silicon Valley. That is most likely going to change with the release of his upcoming film, The spacious Sick, which he has co-written with his wife Emily V Gordon, and who is starring in it as well.
