Talking about the condition of the K-pop industry.
Abhinandan: This pursuit of fame. The not being able to deal with not having it anymore. The feeling of inadequacy if you are leading a regular life. You know, where you get home and go to sleep, watch TV and play carrom with your child, do something. People I don’t think value that. Rajyasree Sen, zindagi isi ka naam hai. Ye shor sharaba, tamasha, ye sab, it’s fleeting. It’s like sand in the palm.
Rajyasree: But what if my palm is a big palm and I can hold the sand.
Abhinandan: Bhai, tum toh itni lalchi ho, you’re like the sand mafia of Punjab that kills reporters.
Abhinandan and Rajyasree burst out laughing.
This and a lot more as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the movies Shikara and Snowpiercer, Valentine’s Day commercials for Burger King and Netflix, and trailers for upcoming films The French Dispatch and Angrezi Medium.
