So much respect for Dev Patel❤❤

[@honestcomments8053]

Dev is brilliant and talented.

[@frankiestein8482]

oh really, I will need a microscope to find that talent then

[@honestcomments8053]

@@frankiestein8482 I guess you have to be intelligent in order to know what it is and who has it. Don't worry...getting a microscope won't help.

[@frankiestein8482]

@@honestcomments8053 I'm so flabbergasted by your astute intelligent reply that would even have Albert Einstein bow down to you....Not ..Listen mate even us thickos can tell he's just W*anker without any talent ....so keep the wig on !

It is the best action movie!

[@stephaniegriffin7176]

It was good! Dev's directorial debut is solid! His interviews have been great too!

[@zedkay5145]

The interviewer is very handsome

[@kaylinwhite6584]

Dev Patel interesting

[@gayans6112]

Hahahaha. Did he say that his parents are Kenyan decent? Dev, ur parents are of Indian decent.... Kenya was just where they were born. It doesn't make them of Kenyan decent.....

[@MM-es1it]

Dev was born in Kenya and he never said his parents are of Kenyan descent. His Dad said wait until your grandad comes from Kenya. Timestamp 3:30. And it's descent which means ancestry, not decent as you typed

@YBDarrell Ethnicity and citizenship are 2 different things. If he was born in China, he wouldn't be considered Chinese. I know quite a few people who are born in one country, lived around and then settled in a different country. Important point is that even though he lived in UK, he is so proud of his Indian heritage, and he wanted to represent that vibrant culture on big screen. He has scripted, acted, directed and produced this movie. The film has already recovered its cost in 3 days. It will only get better for him now. He is a very intelligent young man, only 33 yrs old. And I think you wanted to say he looks Arabic to you not UAE.

[@savitriseegobin17]

It would seem that Indians are only born and come from India Yes? Totally wrong!

[@frankiestein8482]

hes a total sell out with an inferiority complex who we called a Gunga Din where even with his latest movie he pushes a western Hinduphobic narrative using a hanuman mask

[@frankiestein8482]

@@MM-es1it So what ? his latest movie using indian culture he still puts across a western Hinduphobic narrative like in Slumdog Poverty Porn Millionaire. He's desperate for white mans pat on the back

[@rasat4829]

WTF!! Nightline has a Indian dude interviewing???? Ooooohhh! Its because he is interviewing Dev Patel and after that he is a goner! Hahahahaha!

[@jackie41083]

Ashan Singh has done interviews before. He will continue to do interviews. Relax.
