Could not catch the Russel Peters’ show in Mumbai. The damn tickets were sold out way in advance.
However, caught him for a few seconds on Nina Manuel’s ‘airy-fairy’ (a colleague’s word for frivolous) show After Hours. A gushing Nina was chatting him up and the conversation somewhat went like this:
Nina: What do you think of Indian women?
Russel Peters: I think they are beautiful. I’d like to explore this beauty with a little more depth. However, they are a little low on the slut factor!
Nina: What do you think of Indian men?
Russel: Well, I don’t date them. They may work out, wear nice clothes, have a cool hairstyle. But overall they are very corny. Like a ferrari with no engine!
Moral of the story: Everyone has an opinion!
