Kabir passed away on December 4, 2024 at the age of 39.
Born in 1984 in Portland, Oregon to stereotypical Indian parents, Kabir Singh realized at an early age that it wouldn’t be easy making friends at school. Luckily for Kabir, he soon became known as the funniest Indian kid in Oregon – not too difficult considering he was the only Indian kid in Oregon. When he was nine, his family moved to Bombay, India where he was bullied and teased for being American which taught him how to make people laugh in no less than three languages. At 13, Kabir moved back to the US where he was made fun of for being Indian!
Kabir cleverly delivers his life experiences and the culture clashes of being an Indian American in America.
