While discussing Vibe:

Abhinandan: Tell me about this film called Vibe, which you watched because Mr Khemu is in it.

Rajyasree: No, he directed it.

Abhinandan: Oh, who’s in it then?

Rajyasree: He’s also in it.

Abhinandan: Then why do you have to say no?

Rajyasree: Because I start every sentence with a no. Do you not know this?

Abhinandan: And when I pointed this out to you, what did you say?

Rajyasree: Before you, my brother had pointed it out when I was, like, 10 years old.

Abhinandan: So clearly you take feedback very seriously... and try to change.

While discussing Main Vaapas Aaunga:

Abhinandan: I couldn’t understand why Diljeet's love interest is played by Banita Sandhu. Now she is British born. She is playing an Indian but from there. So she has this British accent.  

Rajyasree: A Welsh actress of Punjabi descent.

Abhinandan: I don’t know whether she is Welsh or not Welsh, she was…

Rajyasree: Welsh! 

Abhinandan: She is speaking Hindi in an accent like people who would have never spoken Hindi and it’s not like Diljeet is a pendu. He can also speak English. Either make her speak English or make her speak Hindi in an accent which is not so off the charts. And why is she speaking it in the first place?

Rajyasree: But she is Welsh. Poor thing ya…

Abhinandan: Arey, then make the dialogue in English na, aunty!

While discussing Suniel Shetty’s remarks about his grandchild offering a laddoo to PM Modi’s photograph:

Rajyasree: In good news for Modiji, there is a star whose…

Abhinandan: Good news for Modiji, you must emphasise on Modiji. 

Rajyasree: In good news for Modijii, there is a star who says young members of his family worship Modiji like a god, worship him every morning.

Abhinandan: But in bad news, that star is Suniel Shetty.

Rajyasree: So it’s going lower and lower from Kangana to Urvashi Rautela. 

Abhinandan: To now Suniel Shetty. There is this lovely promo…he used to host a show called “Biggest Loser Jeetega” where whoever sheds the most weight and one guy had done a spoof on it:

“Inme se biggest loser kaun hai? Mai hu biggest loser.” He is such a loser. It’s very funny.

Rajyasree: I’ll tell you who the biggest loser is. I was in a restaurant and I was looking at this guy. I was like he looks so familiar. Then I realised he is the winner of the Biggest Loser who only I recognised..

Abhinandan: Well done, Rajyasree.

Rajyasree: In this week’s good news, there is a film that is not praising Modi-ji or bashing Pakistan which is being released, we were told. 

Abhinandan: Based on true events. 

Rajyasree: Ya, it's based on true events though. 

Abhinandan: In bad news, it is doing something that the other films are doing which is bashing Muslims. 

Rajyasree: But the good news is that the Muslim in question is my favourite, Salman Khan. 

Abhinandan: But in bad news none of the actors of the film seem to know that it was gonna show Salman in a bad light.  

Rajyasree: But in good news we don’t know what will happen now. 

Abhinandan: But in strange news, Salman says his permission was not taken to make this film. 

Rajyasree: But it could be fiction, they should just say it’s pure fiction. Why does he think Kala Hiran is about him? I would’ve said, “Sir, it is not about you.” 

Abhinandan: It could be about any Kala Hiran. Am I Kala or a Hiran? It could be based on you.

While discussing The Boys: 

Abhinanadan: But I always wonder what the art department would be like? 

Rajyasree: It would be such fun!

Abhinandan:. Like, imagine in a scene you have to kill five people, normal thing: gun, bullet, blood, ok, ready, *gun noises*, blood crops out, scene over. Now the art department: laser, brains, intestines, spleen, lungs, blood..

Rajyashree: And the eye has to pop out like that…

Abhinandan: F*ck man, the art department…

Rajyashree: But how lovely for the art department.

Abhinandan: They must be having a hall full of...

Rajyasree: Even in Game of Thrones, the things they used to show... Like, you know, a leg will come off, you can see the tendons are hanging out, and it must be such good... at least the art department has a lot to do.
