Abhinandan: How did I come about watching this? And I ended up watching four episodes. 

Rajshree: I am impressed.

Abhinandan: It’s because someone called me and told me about all these characters.

While discussing Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives:

Rajyasree: What do you think of it?

Abbas: Being honest, I have not watched the first two seasons of Bollywood Wives.

Rajyasree: You’ve not missed anything at all.

Abbas: I’d say that I’ve watched only two episodes and I have too many questions.

Rajyasree: (smiles) I’ll answer. I have all the answers.

Abbas: This is a big-ticket release this week, and a controversial release also.

Rajyasree: Is it plausible that Alia Bhatt is doing jailbreak and action stuff? Or, is it like you have to do that suspension of disbelief?

Abbas: No, no. You have to do a lot of suspension of disbelief.

Rajyasree: So, would you recommend I watch it? 

Abbas: (laughs) See Rajyasree, if you sat through Khel Khel Mein, you can definitely sit through it.

While discussing Trap:

Abhinandan: It was too convenient. Everyone was sharing too much information with the serial killer.

Rajyasree: Also, the cops aren’t suspicious when he joins their briefing.

Abhinandan: The police in this is from a 70s Jitendra film... always one step behind.
