While discussing the headlines:

Abhinandan: I added this headline myself…In good news, Urvashi Rautela’s reels are appearing on my Instagram feed endlessly. And I am so entertained by whatever she says. I’ve seen so much of Urvashi in the last few days, and I didn’t even know who she was…In bad news, she claimed that a temple was made for her in Badrinath.

Rajyasree: One kilometer from Badrinath. She’s even given directions in the video. In worse news, the priest there wants the police to take action because the goddess Urvashi has nothing to do with actor Urvashi.

Abhinandan: But you know who she reminds me of? Saif.

Rajyasree: What nonsense.

This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri and Rajyasree Sen discuss the TV series Your Friends & Neighbours, Deli Boys, and the movie Kill.

While discussing Empuraan:

Abhinandan: Why is it called L:2 Empuraan?

Manisha: The second!

Jayashree: Yes, so the first one was Lucifer. But this L is a thing. Something would be happening casually in the movie and a rock will fall in the shape of an L. Or Mohanlal will be walking past a tree which will catch fire in the shape of an L.

Abhinandan and Rajyasree: Why?

Jayashree: Because he is L for Lucifer, guys.

Rajyasree: (cracks up) I’m not going to watch this one.

While discussing Emergency:

Abhinandan: The only person who said ‘let me try to act in this’ was the actor who played Sanjay Gandhi.

Manisha: Not Kangana?

Abhinandan: No, her acting was terrible. Her look was perfect.

Rajyasree: No! There was Kangana and there was Kangana’s nose. Indira had a long nose but it wasn’t like Pinocchio!

While discussing Hyundai’s Women’s Day ad:

Abhinandan: It was simple and direct…but the spot where she parked was not that tight.

Rajyasree: I can park in that spot.

Abhinandan: Are you a good driver?

Rajyasree: I’m a very good driver. I used to drive here also. You’ve forgotten?

Abhinandan: Salman also used to drive. Doesn’t mean he’s a good driver.

Rajyasree: (mimicking Salman) ye log kyu yahan pe so rahe hain!

While discussing the headlines:

Rajyasree: In better news, Kangana has said that Javed Akhtar has promised to write a song for her next film…

Abhinandan: Very nice. I wonder what that song will sound like. (Breaks into song) Ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga…I will not say anything more.

Rajyasree: Yeah, don’t say. I can still get away. You can’t.

While discussing a subscriber letter about Rajyasree’s obsession with Sukesh Chandrasekhar:



Abhinandan: When you’re at Newslaundry, there’s a chance you may go to prison owing to the several income tax notices we get. If I do go to prison, I will set Rajyasree and Sukesh up!

Rajyasree: But you have to go to Mandoli jail. He is not in Tihar...I know everything about Sukesh.

Abhinandan: How do I go to Mandoli?

Rajyasree: You’ll have to put in a request. They’ll ask why. You say I want to hang out with Sukesh.

Abhinandan: Then you can also get a private jet (like actor Jacqueline Fernandez). Keep 70 percent and donate 30 percent to Newslaundry.

While discussing the headlines:

Abhinandan: In good news, Udit Narayan returned to the headlines after a long absence. In bad news, it was for a viral video where he was seen strangely kissing a fan on her lips…Uditji!

Rajyasree: Now lots of videos have come out of him trying to kiss Shreya Ghoshal, Alka Yagnik. It must be terrible to have to work with him.

Abhinandan: His lips are a permanent kiss face.

Rajyasree: So scary. Just think, I’ve gone to listen to Udit Narayan and he smooches me.

Abhinandan: It’s scary that you’re going to listen to him!

While discussing the headlines:

Rajyasree: I read multiple news reports claiming that Saif’s alleged attacker came into Bengal, but had to move to Bombay because there were no job opportunities in the state. Why is a dig being made at Bengal even when…

Abhinandan: Even when you’re discussing the attack on Saif? Yes. The Aadhaar card he used also apparently was from Bengal.

Rajyasree: I read he had no Aadhaar card! See, at the moment, the best fiction writing is being carried on in these newsrooms.
