Sobhita is a queen. She deserves great movie projects. I even loved her in her small role in Major. She has a striking personality both onscreen and offscreen.

[@amihpriya9472]

I actually love the fact that Sobhita paused to gather her thoughts before giving her answer. It shows just how much she respects the interviewee. It doesn't harm to think a little instead of rattling off whatever comes to mind and not at all answering the question asked. Besides I could watch and listen to her speak all day.

[@kuldeepsingh211]

That's what most star kids and Bollywood actors lack. They just speak too much in interviews. Answers should be short. Aditya's answers were short.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Aditya Roy Kapur has immense potential. He just needs the best scripts out there.

[@SMon-wh6om]

Adi is definitely underrated in his league of actors. I loved his understated acting in kalank too.

"Grief is love with nowhere to go" is a popular quote. Love Sobhita but it would be classier of her to have mentioned that it can't be attributed to her.

[@RamKumar-rd7bh]

13:35 grief is love which has no where to go Sobhita drips sophitiscation and class. Love her attitude towards life. Just hoping that AK and ARK would let her complete her point of views in the interview. Inspite of having friendly relationship off camera where you can cut each other sentence in middle would love if they maintain professonalism and let the lady slay. However, Sobhita is the main reason for us watch The Night Manager not them. So, its sums it all

OTT was meant to host original content and give the newcoming content creators a chance. Instead it's become a haven for fuvkall remakes, and mainstream actors to sit and mint money.

[@siddharthdhulipala24]

I think it's the ott platform. It's a competitive space now to retain viewership. So ott platforms doing whatever they can

[@zn6365]

I like Shobitha. Loved her in Made in Heaven. I recently saw an old photo of Vijay Mallya and she was one of the many arm candies hanging on his arm. I'm sure she is a good person and the pic must be from her modeling days. But it seemed really weird that she was standing right next to him arm in arm when he was known to be a very well known womanizer.

[@debadritagupta6364]

She was doing the Kingfisher Calendar so maybe the photo is from there

[@arsalanhasan2953]

Organic sexism which even a well exposed person can't escape, "This is amazing, she thinks before speaking"! I think he should take a pause before speaking....Maybe all of us should!

[@novawrem5347]

[@warishaahmed758]

That wasn't a sexist comment, if anything then it was to lessen the awkwardness that AK's 'they will cut this interview short because of your long pause' caused. He was supporting her. Jeez.

I'd rather watch a bad 'original series' than a good 'copied series'.

[@ajaykanumilli6995]

Really? Would you be able to watch a badly made show just because it is original? Every piece of content can't be original and need not be original. Presuming you meant adaptation/remake by using the word 'copied', 'original' doesn't mean good and adapted/remake doesn't mean bad. As long as the content is engaging for the viewer, it has served it's purpose.

[@ashokvasan]

Did Shobita actually say she straddled two men? :-)

[@lego7315]

But she kinda did

[@vsmya]

Can the men please stop being condescending or sarcastic every time Sobhita says something intelligent? It’s almost like here thinking “what the hell just came out of her mouth? How did that happen?”

[@novawrem5347]

they're not being condescending. It's pretty clear that Sobita and Adi are pretty close friends and usually you make fun of your friends in a sarcastic way when they say something deep and stuff to make the situation lighter lol. I usually do that with my friends too cuz it's just awkward if you don't. It didn't seem like they were thinking what you're thinking they thought. idk why you're taking it so negatively jeez!

It's too jarring to watch anil kapoor doing same kind of voice over, unnecessary deep voices. This role he just ripped off Kenneth Branagh from Tenet. I mean it's quite boring portrayal.
