In his rare interviews, he often says that it was this game that helped him develop his acting talent, “stock up” on such skills as improvisation, quick reaction to the jokes of opponents or stage partners, and wit in general.
After graduating from university, Khan realized that he would not be working in his profession. A dull office day is not for him, he needs movement, development, audience, stage and movie set. Then Roman decided to try his hand at humorous stage. The guy went to one of the Russian TV channels, where young comedians were "held in high esteem".
