Ranvir shares his experience of 'Sacred Games' and 'Khosla ka Ghosla', and also sheds light on his latest projects ‘Sunflower2 ’ & ‘Godhra’.

I’m belongs to Buddhist family but I feel like my soul belongs to Hinduism 🕉️ and whenever I heard about sacrifice of our Hindu ancestors towards Ram temple I jst can’t stop my tears 😭

[pravin]

Great mature and political discussion. On a lighter note, I am a little surprised to see Ranvir coming across as more politically aware and clearer in his views than Anand. Maybe because as an actor, Ranvir is able to articulate his points better. Though that does not take anything away from the brilliance of Anand, as we have seen him single-handedly argue his case on TV debates over so many years.

Another great podcast with Smita. This is soon becoming a must-watch channel now, because of consistently great content and intelligent discussions.

[swapganges]

Ranvir’s statements totally reflect a rational educated citizen of Bharat. A clarity knowing that if the government is doing good appreciate, if it’s not then criticise it. Also how well he said to Anand Ranganathan that it’s easy to sit where they are, to think things are not happening immediately while there is so much when it comes to administration. And he sums it up, ‘70 years of governance by a dynasty’ and to rectify that totally in 10 years? Loved the podcast 🙏🏾

[tarungarg]

omg, ranvir is so practical, listening to him for the first time, another gem added in the list of political commentators i follow - j sai deepak, anand ranganathan, shehzad poonawalla, vikram sampath, sudhanshu trivedi

[Captain_Sosuke_Aizen]

In old days I was angry at Modi for going slow, but after I saw what happened to Trump in USA I understood, Modi has the correct method.
Every day trump was fighting with plutocracy & establishment & finally they even openly stolen his election & no one could do anything. While Modi captured every establishment one after another.
That's the brilliance of the man.

[kuunalmalhotra]

Pleasure to hear Ranveer speak so sensibly and frankly

[arunakrishnan]

Ranvir is a very bright and intelligent actor. Such nuanced views. Very mature, balanced person. He is coming across as more politically mature than Anand

[Vinod.-kz]

I became instant fan of Ranvir. Wow, the clarity and precision he has on his though is just astonishing. 44:16

[SSant]

Anand is so right when he says that Grover and kashyap are hypocrites because they may create good content but their intentions are bad👍🏼

[RaviNayyar]

This was Smita's best interview with peers.

She let the conversation flow without interrupting like she used to.

Her technique has improved - cheers!

[abhisheksonawane]

Its high time for us to keep caste to ourselves and take pride in being hindu!!!

[TheAnkushjari]

Anand Ranganathan, Abhijit Iyer-Mitra, Sushant Sareen, Tehseen and Ranvir Shorey should be invited for REAL SAMOSA CAUCUS RETURNS - Part 3 👍

[rashmikarnawat]

Entire Bollywood is different than Ranvir he seems more down to earth.

[nirajverma]

Mujhe English na aate hue bhi ye kehna chahunga ki ye Mera dekha gaya sabse behtareen conversation video hai.

[The_Denizen]

I want to have Ranvir's clarity. Great guy. Hats off and we need to think rationally and need to be very practical.

[RS-hrgf]

So so impressed by Ranveer's clarity and honesty. He is Dope 👍

[aishimondal]

The argument ranvir made on "pseudo secularism" or calling out the hypocrisy of secularists to be indoctrinated as "communalism" was a fantastic one

[sulabhnigam]

I cannot believe I would admire Ranveer this much for his understanding on the way radical changes need to be brought piece by piece without disrupting the social thread beyond unrepairable status👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[trishalaisme]

Sheeesshhhh!!!! I haven't lived in india and I can surely say, we Indians out there, aren't taught anything right about india.. and I am literally learning about the country, and I think so many of us are.. I'm so glad for the changes and india as a country, as a currency, as a nationality, it's getting better.. slowly but steady, the haters are surely going to have opinions, it's fine.. it's theirs. Lol

[Insvikrant-qz]

Even Anupam Kher has been blunt on Pappu and Congress.
Now Randeep Hoodda.
