Patel co-directed and starred in Meet the Patels, a documentary that won the audience award at the 2014 Los Angeles Film Festival. Meet the Patels is such a big hit all over the world and is on i-Tunes editors’ choice! Ravi is also on the super hit comedy Grandfathered which he stars alongside John Stamos. Rumors have spread that Meet the Patels might be turned into a full-length Feature Film! Good Luck Ravi! We asked Ravi to nominate 3 other fellow Gujarati internet stars who are NOT a part of Bollywood/Hollywood that you also think are fascinating (comedians)? He said, “This question makes no sense. I don’t know any comedians that aren’t a part of Hollywood. That said, I think that without question my mom and dad are the most interesting gujus of 2015. Their story is the biggest box office success of all docs this year, and I think they represent the guju immigrant success story in a way that should make all of us proud”
