The Most Dramatic TV Scene Ever Made | Shantanu Anam | Akanksha Panda | Cyrus SaysAdded:
This is something I have to take some egg on my face because I keep saying for the last 5 years that there's no way Bengal will fall. They're so anti-Hindi.
They're so culturally strong. If you have any Bengali friends, you know that Bengali culture is like they always look at everybody below them. I don't know about this. What I have never experienced this. Your wife, no? What do you mean? My wife is not Bengali. My wife is Kannadiga. Oh, damn you. Huh? Go now to Calcutta. Why would [laughter] I go?
Bengali women are Bengali women are religious.
You have something to say about this?
First you fought with Gujaratis, now you're fighting with Bengalis. I am not fighting. I'm trying I'm curious. I think I have never >> be able to leave Hyderabad. I have never had an unpleasant experience with a Bengali person is what I'm trying to say. You said Bengalis always think WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU.
I don't I say they look down on the Hindi belt. You can't come from the Hindi belt and train us about anything cuz we are artistically, culturally, scientifically well above you. And they have 10,000 names And are they right to believe so? Is that what you're saying?
>> That's another I'm not getting to that, you racist bastard. What I'm the racist bastard? What I'm saying is there's no way you can invade that space. Yeah.
>> Yes. Just like Kamal Haasan. These two are the strongest cultures of India.
Let's be honest. Strongest. You can't come with your uh today I'll teach you Sanskrit. It's not going to happen.
Sure.
You and you can't Hindi-fy it. You can't Sanskrit-fy it and all that. You can't So, what happened? The intersection of cinema and politics, like Akanksha was saying earlier, So, just to get to the start of her point.
If that Bengal earlier what made the best cinema, so made the best political choices also along with the best cinema. I feel Kerala makes the best films currently.
And also makes decent political choices.
Okay. That's all I have to say about this whole thing. Yeah, UDF LDF LDF UDF, come on.
>> [laughter] >> That's great. That's just completely over the top. Our sound guy is falling asleep, huh? Yeah. There's no interest in Calcutta and he's Malayali but no interest in Kerala. Yeah, I'm just Culturally superior. He feels culturally But yeah, he got a thumbs up. He's Kumbalangi Nights. [laughter] Come on. Angamaly Diaries.
Just I mean real Malayalam If anyone wants to say anything else about this?
No, just give me You want to reload what will give her a real What do you okay look okay let's be devils advocate what did the BJP do right?
Oh no no pun intended. What did the BJP do right? What the how? Spent money. Look that's surface stuff then uh People voted so is it the immigration thing which was an issue because I think that was a bit of an issue. uh The Rohingyas and the Bangladeshis are crossing the border getting cars too many of them the SR comes into effect Actually if you look at No no so so Mamata herself in 2005 that's the videos doing the rounds guys we check it out on YouTube where she herself says that the why isn't the center stopping these guys from entering? So she went from that side of the story to the other side of the story. Yeah politics this is what what Yeah you want votes.
And and on the ground if you guys travel to Calcutta and all there's so much TMC support. Yeah on THE GROUND IT'S WHY THIS is extremely surprising but also not surprising at another level.
