Talking about their favourite James Bond actors:

Abhinandan: This was I think about eight or nine years ago. He’s much taller in person than he looks. He looks slight.

Rajyasree: What do you mean, Abhinandan? He looks tall only.

Abhinandan: He does? Achha, he doesn't look like…he’s a biggish guy. There was this guy with this white dhaadi and a white mooch and shirt. He was pushing this pram and a lady was walking with him.

Rajyasree: You thought they had stolen a grandchild?

Abhinandan: I didn’t know who it was. My friend who was with me said that’s Pierce Brosnan. I looked and it was Pierce Borsnan, ya! I was like, “Now, what should I do?”

Rajyasree: What did you do?

Abhinandan: Nothing. I looked at him and continued walking.

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 film Serious Men; the true crime documentary American Murder: The Family Next Door; the short film The Discreet Charm Of The Savarnas; the James Bond theme song No Time to Die by Billie Eilish; and Bigg Boss Season 14.
