    Ep.2: Bollywood Unscripted | Bhumi Pednekar, Anurag Basu, Barkha Singh, Raghav Juyal, and Remo D’Souza | Seat 07A

    Seat 07A -- a window seat into my love for Bollywood. In Episode 2, I sit down with Bhumi Pednekar, Anurag Basu, Barkha Singh, Raghav Juyal, and Remo D’Souza with a simple question: Which Bollywood film best describes your life? The answers spark a bigger conversation -- about how, for people around the world, Bollywood is often the first thing that comes to mind when they think of India; how the SRK pose became an unofficial signature; and why Bollywood continues to connect across cultures. It is this connection that makes the UAE a natural home for Bollywood -- where stories find audiences from every corner of the globe. Bollywood, after all, has always been India’s greatest ambassador. #AbdulnasserAlshaali: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/aj_alshaali/⁠⁠⁠ X: ⁠⁠⁠x.com/aj_alshaali⁠⁠⁠ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠linkedin.com/in/abdulnasser-alshaali-phd⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/@aj_alshaali
