While talking about the character Fern in Nomadland:
Abhinandan: See now! If I was a plant, if I was a tree, I would be a soli-tree. (laughs) But you see…
Rajyasree: This is why you’re solitary, na. Because you crack these jokes.
Abhinandan: So, everyone leaves. They say “live on your own”.
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 films Mandela, The Disciple and Oscar winner Nomadland; the Switzerland tourism ad featuring Roger Federer and Robert De Niro, and more.
