The media must be free and fair, uninfluenced by corporate or state interests. That's why you, the public, need to pay to keep news free.
ContributeWhile talking about Clint Eastwood’s movies:
Abhinandan: Since I’m from the ‘70s generation, let me say a sexist line: “Humne bhi chudiyan nahi pehen rakhi hai.”
Rajyasree: Now if no one writes mails on this, na? I’m going to be so disappointed.
Abhinandan: That means people are unnecessarily attacking you and I get a free pass on all the shit that I say.
Rajyasree: I crack a joke about something to do with my neighbouring state and everyone attacks me...
Abhinandan: And I say offensive things and yet I don’t get attacked.
Rajyasree: That’s all I’m saying. I’m watching you guys. Y’all wait and watch now.
Abhinandan: Wait and watch. She’ll kill me while I’m sleeping, guys. In case anything happens to me...
Rajyasree: You’ll be found with a rasgulla with a knife through it in your chest. Underneath I would have written, “Is this rasgulla from Bengal or is it from Orissa?”
Abhinandan: In case something happens to me...
Rajyasree: Oh! I can kill you by feeding you rasgulla because your sugar will just hype.
Abhinandan: You can kill me in many ways.
Rajyasree and Abhinandan burst out laughing.
This and a whole lot of other stuff awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the films Richard Jewell and Pareeksha, HBO series Run, Prabh Deep’s single Chitta, and a whole lot more.
Tune in!
PS. Rajyasree experiences something spooky during the recording. You can’t miss this!
