The device will start playing the jokes till the user says “Alexa, stop” or “Alexa, pause”. A library of 100 jokes is already a part of the skill for users to enjoy.

New jokes will be uploaded on a regular basis to keep the library refreshed. Speaking on the occasion, Kapil Sharma, SVP Marketing and PR, 9X Media Pvt Ltd said, “9XM is a preferred destination amongst the youth and we engage with our viewers across platforms which are popular youth hangouts.
