On the most recent episode of The Daily Show, filmmaker Zoya Akhtar sat down for an interview with host Kal Penn this week. There, she discussed her most recent release The Archies, and even said great things about paparazzi culture.
Kal and Zoya started the conversation by talking about their first dinner meet at her house and how her dog "almost killed himself." She said that her dog choked on the meal after jumping on Kal's brie. To get rid of the cheese stuck in his throat, he had to be thrown around.
Subsequently, Kal discussed the peculiar demands made by Indian paps on his visits, including their insistence on having him lie down and pose. But according to Zoya, despite the fact that they say the most random things like ¡®mam full length¡¯, they actually are really lovely. She described an incident in which she fell in front of the paparazzi and requested that the pictures not be used elsewhere and they agreed.
Kal also mentioned that paps call Nick Jonas ¡®Jeeja Ji.¡¯
Kal mentioned how Dilton was hesitant to come clean about being gay in front of his pals. Kal brought it up and questioned how Zoya incorporates things like that in a nation like India where homosexuality isn¡¯t fully accepted.?
Zoya discussed the recent legalizing of homosexuality in India and the positive changes that have resulted from it. She continued by saying that she is glad to be among those who can genuinely raise awareness of it through her films.
