Richa Chadda is one among the most brilliant actors in India at this point of time.....She is also so well-spoken.....Much love to both the ladies ......Laapaata Ladies was perhaps the best movie I have watched in the last five years..... Simplicity is very very difficult to film.....and Kiran Rao executed the entire project with so much passion and love ..... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I'm sorry but I wish the session was just about Kiran and Richa having a conversation with each other. The host was so disappointing that it became a torture to go through this. I really wanted to hear from the two guests, so I had to keep going 😞! Two specific requests to the host- 1. Please Please Please, for God's sake, NEVER ask someone why they got divorced, what didn't work for them, and then why are the friends with their ex, etc. It's SO disrespectful and insulting. Just because someone is politely answering your question, doesn't mean you should keep invading their privacy and keep asking really personal questions. Nobody gets married with the plan of getting divorced. Things sometimes just don't work. And no matter how many times you ask them, they are NEVER going to tell you the truth, especially in public! And you introduced Kiran as "someone who left a marriage"- are you serious? 2. Please don't speak so much about your thoughts, ideas, and your life when you are interviewing guests. It wasn't about you but about them. I wanted to hear so much more from Kiran and Richa but ended up hearing SO much from you.

U just put everything that I thought in words. So instead of writing my comment n repeating myself 😅 😂 I just replied to urs (which I never do 😊? I loved Kiran Rao's simplicity and the way she speaks. Shine my girl - we get to meet u as Kiran and not as Mrs. Khan. Richa is so well spoken 👏 n straight forward. Like listening to her 😊

[@niviraghunandan6649]

The host was terrible- looking for dramatic headlines about ex’s, body shaming etc. just terrible. Using your platform to make other women feel bad about themselves . So much grace shown by Kiran and Richa for putting up with this obnoxious questioning.

[@deepmonig]

Why is shoma fixated with only asking questions about "friends with exe's ex" or personal life rather than focusing on work and their worldview.

[@2011szaman]

"Why did you get divorced?", "Why are you friends with your Ex?", "What didn't work for you in your marriage?"- WTF was that? What is wrong with that woman? Who invites a guest, especially a guest who just had a massively successful and a lovely film that everyone is going gaga over, and the host decided to take the conversation to Kiran's divorce again and again!! 🙄

[@ruchigupta907]

Also I was expecting a dialog among three of them. Shoma came out as a poor interviewer in this conversation. Richa brought up an excellent point that feminism is not gender based and she should have picked on it and asked Kiran for her take…. Just an example… this could have been better.

[@radhikanagu3541]

Very disappointed with the interviewer’s line of questioning. Invasive, uncomfortable and very unprofessional. When after non stop questions to Kiran about her marriage and divorce, she asked Richa about marriage and began the question as, “Kiran just exited a marriage and you just entered one…”, I lost it and shut the video.

[@sweet2008s]

Richa is just such an amazing person

[@mayurakshidey7787]

Only a conversation with Kiran and Richa would have been great. The anchor was a misfit.

[@impk070]

Who is the female producer which Richa spoke about at 42 43 mins ??

[@rajesinha]

She is hell bent on imposing her mondset on the guests

[@maheshreek404]

Old black n white movie ghunghat with Bina Roy etc has the same story of brides getting exchanged in train. So may b this movie is inspired by that old classic?

[@rashu8252]

Kiran Rao and Richa both inspiring women ❤❤❤

[@shafkat111]

Such a delightful question , answer session

[@Saneymi]

Why did the host dig so Much into Richa’s eating disorder?? She clearly didn’t want to divulge into it! Kiran about why did she get divorced?? What was that about. She speaks more than needed as a host.

[@monicadrego5535]

So desperate to talk about Amir part. The personality is so much more. The interviewer shows mediocrity

[@PKL2006]

loved this!!

[@RachitaGupta]

I dislike shoma foe the way she interviews.

[@tylerforbes2091]

Shoma Chaudhary / Reporters / whatsoever the interviewer, Can you please stop asking personal questions about their personal lives because of getting a TRP. This is quite stereotypical reports and low graded. Hope you guys will behave from now onwards. 😀

[@happypockets901]

Kaun hai yeh rao

[@Tatopotatoo]

These are weird questions lol

[@upalsengupta9484]

This interviewer is always an embarrassment. Every time.

[@shivamroy852]

Now kiran rao hass successfully overcome the fear of living in India. Because she is the second wife of amir khan and she's got devorce also. Now she is fearless.
