The pop culture podcast that isn’t afraid to pop the bubble.
While discussing Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya:
Abbas: Dimple Kapadia, who is Shahid’s aunt in the film, plays the role of a scientist.
Rajyasree: She did the same role in Pathaan too. Who knows, when filmmakers look at Dimple, they think, “This is what a scientist definitely looks like.”
Abbas: Oh, and Shahid Kapoor is also a robotic scientist, by the way.
Rajyasree: (laughs) This is really stretching the suspension of disbelief.
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abbas Momin discuss the films Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jia, Anatomy of a Fall, Bhakshak, and Ranveer Singh’s viral Bold Care ad.
