The Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap – Episode 26

This week, Deepanjana Pal and Rajyasree Sen discuss whether Sansui Stardust Awards compare to the Golden Globes. If you thought that everyone in Bollywood had copped out of making a statement, let Sen tell you how Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan did their bit. Sen and Pal are excited about Rangoon — listen and find out why. Karan Johar’s new book An Unsuitable Boy is out, but has the media handled it responsibly? Pal doesn’t think so. We’ve also got an early peek at the documentary Saints of Sin, which talks to women who have turned “sins” into virtues. Finally, don’t miss the politically-incorrect and hilarious video, Housewives of ISIS. All this and more discussed and dissected in this episode of Awful and Awesome Entertainment Wrap.
