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. This episode is outside the paywall. Watch it, enjoy it, and subscribe to Newslaundry, so you can tune in every week.
