I like how Gippy Grewal spoke in Panjabi✊🏽

[@manmehakkaur2354]

Gippy Grewal has given such contribution to the Punjabi music landscape and cinema. Wonderful to see you interviewing him!

[@RachitaGupta]

This lady's enthusiasm is other worldly and definitely worth emulating. Thousands of interviews later, and Anupama is shining like a pure star, eager for more ❤❤❤❤

[@user-zl7vr5jj6u]

She knows how to keep the guest engaged and to keep the conversation interesting. She is good at that. She is spontaneous and she has a presence of mind.

In Punjabi cinema, they are on same level though.

​@@user-zl7vr5jj6usorry bruh...even whole Punjabi cinema can't match fame of Diljit Dosanjh he is too big...

[@user-zl7vr5jj6u]

@@singhh9515 I am not talking about his stature as a Punjabi Singer. I am talking about his stature as a Punjabi Actor. As actors, they both have almost same level of stardom. They both break each other's records in Punjabi cinema. Diljit is yet to break the record of Carry on Jatta 3. However there are good chances that Jatt and Juliet 3 can do that. But yes, in music Diljit has reached way ahead.

[@singhh9515]

@@user-zl7vr5jj6u brother Believe me or not carry on jatta 3 collection was fake...that was a trash movie for real bruh... Part 1-2 were far better Another thing is Diljit don't need 7-8 co actors for his every movie such as bn sharma,karam Jeet anmol,bhalla saab binnu etc....

Massive respect to Gippy for naming Abrar up Haq and giving him his props for the original Nach Punjaban. The only guy to do this on a public platform since the remake came out !

[@B1it3krieg]

20:20 heard the same thing from Prithviraj in an interview with Anupama... about how the success of his fellow filmmakers is a success for the entire Malayalam film industry. So glad to hear the same emotion from Gippy's lips. Carry on Jatta was the first Punjabi movie I ever watched. What a riot it was! Thank you Film Companion.... Thank you :)

[@PokhrajRoy.]

I’ve never seen his interviews but he seems fun and we love a multi hyphenate.
