Abhinandan: Why, what’s wrong with my outfit?
Rajyasree: Nothing. I don’t want to say. Foriegn things you’re wearing. Oh Doon school!
Abhinandan: Dude you know, you always make fun of my clothes. She says I’m not a snob. “Nikku, you wear the same clothes every day...”
Rajyasree: No, nowadays I’ve said you started dressing up.
Abhinandan: “...you have no new clothes, you look like you got out of bed.”
Rajyasree: I never say. I say, “Nikku, you’re looking so handsome. I can’t concentrate on the podcast.”
Abhinandan: You’re always commenting on “you only have three shirts, you only wear the same shoes. You only have the...”
Rajyasree: Do you not wear the top three shirts?

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.

18:22|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.
