While discussing the headlines:

Rajyasree: In better news, Kangana has said that Javed Akhtar has promised to write a song for her next film…

Abhinandan: Very nice. I wonder what that song will sound like. (Breaks into song) Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga…I will not say anything more. 

Rajyasree: Yeah, don’t say. I can still get away. You can’t. 

This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the second season of Apple TV’s Severance, the 97th Academy Awards, the trailer for Salman Khan’s Sikandar, and the movie The Honeymoon Crasher.
