Hollywood musicals are THE most boring movies I have ever seen on planet Earth. They are garbage. I think they tried to copy bollywood and didn't understand the concept. Bollywood "musicals" are much better.

So not complaining about Aish roasting him. She did good here.

While Hollywood musicals are indeed boring af, they have a very old cinematic history and didn't start off to copy Bollywood.

I think she handled the questions very well here. Especially regarding living with your parents questions.

Nah. Kids are their own persons and should know how to live on their own barring their parents needing immediate care.

Arranged marriages and joint families both are regressive, and Aish could have just cited economic or cultural difference instead of doing my culture so sanskari over your kulcha.

1940s and 50s were the golden years of musicals.

The first ever HW musical was in 1927.

Sure HW is copying BW musicals where suddenly in a park group dancers appear and sing along with the hero and heroine

Yes her giggling are highly cringey

What's with that

she did not liked it and felt disrespected. She dearly love her parents and respect them so much. Her parents means the world for her. In USA I don’t like how people make a big deal of parents and adult children living together. I think she responded because she was hurt. It was really the host inappropriate question that you are asking on national tv. The host was putting Indian culture down.

Giving knee-jerk reactions to a question that slightly destablises your worldview is not good media training.

Indian culture is based on caste and patrilineal connections. If the only reason why she gave such a "we love our parents and y'all don't" response is because she loves her parents, why did she not stay with her parents after marriage? Tab pyaar khatam ho gaya? Why does she find it offensive if Shweta is staying with her parents?

Adults staying with their parents warps their life-skills. Do they have financial literacy let alone financial independence? Do they know how to manage household budgets? Do they know how to cook, clean, SoS on their own? Do they have opinions and actions of their own outside of their family environments? I say this as someone who hopes to have children one day.

If as a foreigner, Letterman was questioning her cultural biases, she could have reversed the question onto him : why do American youth need to take out massive debts to pay for education after high school? Why are they knocked off their parents healthcare as soon as they hit a certain age that they have to look for jobs prematurely?

But she didn't and her answer wasn't as rad as she thought.
