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!
This and a whole lot of awful and awesome as Abhinandan Sekhri, Rajyasree Sen and Manisha Pande discuss the TV series Adolescence, the movie Emergency, and the Kunal Kamra controversy.
