While discussing Heeramandi :

Rajyasree: If you wear velvet and zardozi in the heat of Lahore, you won’t have a nawab around you because you will be stinking.

Abhinandan: As if the nawabs themselves were smelling of roses, they were probably piss-drunk.

Rajyasree: Chee, chee, chee!

Abhinandan: It’s such a stupid concept, it took me three days to watch 24-odd minutes.

This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Rajyasree Sen and Abhinandan Sekhri discuss the series Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar and the films Unfrosted and The Idea of You. Abhinandan recommends Saba Dewan’s documentary, The Other Song.
