00:00A real man never says no to sex.
00:02No.
00:04Swipe at your own risk.
00:06Baba is not waiting.
00:07Baba is...
00:09...lating.
00:09Hi, this is Prateek Babbar for Brute.
00:11Boy, don't cry.
00:12BS.
00:13There's nothing to be ashamed of.
00:15I cry all the time.
00:16Men don't do household chores.
00:18BS again.
00:20I do household chores.
00:21Why not?
00:23Why shouldn't we?
00:24I do them willingly.
00:25A real man never says no to sex.
00:27You can say no sometimes. Why not?
00:28It's very rare that you might find men saying no,
00:32but I think we do have a choice and we can say no sometimes.
00:36Absolutely.
00:37Did you prefer meeting people the old-fashioned way
00:40or through dating apps and sites?
00:42I think I'm kind of an old-fashioned, classic guy,
00:45so I'd go with old-fashioned.
00:47And I've never been on a dating app.
00:49I'm petrified of dating apps.
00:52Though I do live vicariously through my friends.
00:56Vicariously as in I just, you know,
00:58kind of snoop into, you know,
01:02peep into their profiles when they're swiping left or right.
01:05What's one of the weirdest questions you've ever been asked?
01:09Am I gay?
01:10People, strangely, but very seldom,
01:13maybe just once or twice, have been asked.
01:15One story which you like telling
01:17or have heard about your mum that you want to share with us.
01:20Ever since I've been a kid,
01:21since my grandmother told me,
01:25that there was a time where my mother had...
01:32She shot for some really big film or something
01:35and she'd come back home.
01:37And she...
01:42I think we had a Jeep.
01:43My grandfather had a Jeep or something like that.
01:46She stole a Jeep
01:48and went driving all the way to Rajasthan with her friend.
01:54She went on a road trip
01:55and she didn't inform her parents, my grandparents.
02:00So they were worried.
02:04Extremely worried for two days.
02:06Still she called and said,
02:07I've taken the Jeep and, you know,
02:08on a road trip with my friend.
02:12Yeah, that's...
02:15She's quite the adventure junkie.
02:23.
