While talking about the Faber dishwasher ad:

Rajyasree: Next time, when you’re having those interviews you have every Sunday, where you interview girls [to] get married to? You just ask, “Do you like cooking?” Then she’ll say, “Yes, yes, I make samosa, shepherd’s pie..." You’ll say, “But will you wash the dishes?”

Abhinandan: Do you like washing dishes?...That toh she will, but do you like?

Rajyasree: That toh she will?!

Abhinandan: Because you don’t want to force anyone.

Rajyasree: What is “that toh she will”? Tell me. That’s what you have to do if she gets married to you? Khaana de...wo saaf karo! You’re quite an emancipated man, I must say.

Abhinandan: So, if I don’t get married, I’m getting a Faber washing machine.

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 web series Bombay Begums and Normal People; Oprah Winfrey’s interview with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle; advertisements for International Women’s Day, and more.
