All about Indian men

Supermodel Indrani Dasgupta and actor Sugandha Garg seem to be having a jolly good time travelling all across the country as the duo is playing host in the new show that attempts to delve into the psychology of Indian men across the country. Thus Indrani and Sugandha have been busy travelling to cities like Delhi, Amritsar, Jaipur, Kolkata, Goa, Mumbai, Varanasi, Guwahati, Kochi and Ahmedabad.
 

Both the ladies have a lot to talk about their expeditions as they interact with the local men and try to find out what is it about the city that shape the men’s mentality. “It was like doing a doctorate on Indian men,” says Sugandha.

“I realised that people in Jaipur still have a royal hangover,” shares Indrani. “In delhi, there are still some old fashioned norms that men hang on to. But there was quite a mix in the city. Each city has its own mould of guys. For instance, men in Assam were so shy and reticent.” Though Indrani confesses to have travelled to all of these cities before for her modeling programmes, it was the first time that she got to mingle with the people so well.

“Chandigarh guys just cracked me up! They were really funny. I remember we spoke to this guy in Amritsar, who was a farmer and his seven generations had been into farming, but he was so obsessed with Bollywood and even wanted to get into movies himself.”

So which city men surprised Indrani the most? “Kochi was quite a surprise. The people were warm and friendly, the weather was fantastic, and everyone on the street spoke English.”

Sugandha, however, has her own take. “Delhi guys were quite amusing… the north humour is pretty hard to combat. Bombay is chilled out — the man-woman equation is more sorted here. Goa is full of new age zen boys — happy-go-lucky kinds. While Kolkata is so academic,” says Sugandha who had fun touring the country for the show What’s with Indian Men? “Amritsar men were so huge —all more than six feet tall. And of course the Benarasis are too cool… they love their paan with such passion,” she adds.
