NEW DELHI: Taking cues from the Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar’s completely ‘informal’ and ‘non-political’ interview of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, news anchor Ravish Kumar transformed his regular prime-time slot on NDTV into an ‘apolitical’ on Wednesday, 24 April.
“We thought of doing something different tonight,” he added.
Picking the question especially mangoes, Kumar- Ravish and not Akshay said, “If politicians are indulging in non-political interactions, especially during the election season, why shouldn’t we? Why not eat mangoes instead,” Ravish declared, in his show.
During his “non-political” interaction, Akshay’s first question to PM Modi is, “Does Prime Minister Narendra Modi eat mangoes? And if he does, does he cut it into pieces or eat it as a whole, with the seed?”
Of course, Twitter had thoughts on this totally ‘mango prime time’ slot.
This episode by @ravishndtv will go down in the history of journalism ~ https://t.co/VT0R561OAn
Extreme laughter will be followed by an empty void, tears and a feeling of helplessness… Thank you @narendramodi for this emotional rollercoaster ride…

Must watch Ravish Kumar's hilarious take on Modi-Akshay Kumar's apolitical interview.
I have never seen Ravish like this before. His wit, sarcasm & expressions are priceless. Could see he, himself was having a hard time keeping a straight face😂😂😂😂😂https://t.co/HH70Fj4iQb

Instead of answering questions on burning issues like unemployment and rural distress, @narendramodi is telling the nation how he eats mangoes. I urge you to watch @ravishndtv’s takedown of the PM’s apathy & ignorance towards real issues. https://t.co/OQbQMgMh0b

Every television anchor should profusely thank Ravish Kumar for rescuing television journalism from the depths of disgrace and ensuring it still retains some modicum of credibility…

Purely apolitical, but hilarious! 😆😆😆😆😆
Please watch Ravish becoming sarcasm itself, and please note…any resemblance to anyone is unintentional. At least on my part!https://t.co/XpgdgGVPvX
