In casual Indian conversations, “Aur Sunao” (translated as “What else is up?”) is often used as a filler phrase to keep the conversation going. While it’s a simple and informal question, a humorous reply can make the interaction more engaging and memorable.

Witty One-Liners
Keep it short and sharp with these replies:
- “Bas tumhari yaadon mein zinda hoon.” (Just living in your memories.)
- “Kya sunaoon? Khabar toh tum ho!” (What can I say? You’re the breaking news!)
- “Sab badhiya, bas lottery lagne ki deri hai.” (Everything’s great, just waiting to win the lottery.)
These witty responses add a playful twist.
Sarcastic Responses
If you want to keep it sarcastic yet funny:
- “Yaar, life mein itna action hai, ki tum sun nahi paoge.” (My life is so action-packed, you won’t believe it.)
- “Waise toh NASA se offer aya hai, soch raha hoon join karun ya na karun.” (NASA offered me a job; deciding whether to join or not.)
- “Pichle 10 minute mein kuch nahi badla.” (Nothing’s changed in the last 10 minutes.)
These replies add a touch of humor with a pinch of sarcasm.
Over-the-Top Funny Replies
Go all out with exaggerated humor:
- “Main toh bas duniya ko global warming se bacha raha hoon.” (I’m just saving the world from global warming.)
- “Bas Elon Musk ke saath dinner ki planning chal rahi hai.” (Just planning dinner with Elon Musk.)
- “Taj Mahal kharidne ka soch raha hoon, tumhara kya haal hai?” (Thinking of buying the Taj Mahal, what about you?)
These larger-than-life responses are bound to get a laugh.
Self-Deprecating Humor
Make fun of yourself for a good laugh:
- “Bas roj do roti aur sapne khata hoon.” (Just surviving on two chapatis and dreams daily.)
- “Zindagi waise hi chal rahi hai jaise last season ka TV show.” (Life’s running like a rerun of an old TV show.)
- “Main toh bas khud ko motivate kar raha hoon ki aaj bhi uthna hai.” (Just motivating myself to get out of bed today.)
These responses are relatable and endearing.
Playful Counters
Turn the question back on them with a twist:
- “Pehle tum sunao, mujhe sunne mein zyada maza aata hai.” (You go first; I enjoy listening more.)
- “Main toh sab suna chuka, ab tumhari baari!” (I’ve already said it all, now it’s your turn!)
- “Tum batao, kuch masaledar news ho toh share karo.” (You tell me, share if you have any spicy news!)
These keep the conversation dynamic.
Funny Non-Answers
Avoid the question entirely with humor:
- “Main toh bas soch raha hoon ki tum kyu itne dino baad yaad aaye?” (I’m just wondering why you remembered me after so long.)
- “Pehle batao, iska jawab dene ka kya milega?” (First tell me, what’s the reward for answering this?)
- “Mujhe lagta hai, is sawal ka answer duniya kabhi nahi de paayegi.” (I think the world will never find an answer to this question.)
These replies keep things unpredictable and fun.
