While talking about Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl:

Rajyasree: Also the change in behaviour, that commanding officer who takes her under his wing. The change in behaviour can’t happen because of one instance like...

Abhinandan: Not under the wing, under the rotor. If she was flying planes, it would be under the wing. But she’s flying helicopters which are under the rotor. Did you get it?

Rajyasree: You’ll be under a truck wheel very soon if you carry on with your poor jokes.

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 Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl and Greyhound; HBO series I Know This Much Is True; Pakistani web series Churails; and the Black Eyed Peas’ new song Action.
