[@vladplays6206]

It's so true what he mentions about the Indian diaspora in the UK, especially the older generations.
They have lost touch with reality of their ethnic countries despite still being attached to the tradition of it.
Its like a weird place they find themselves in where they neither identify as English nor as Indian.

[@Sorted906]

Do you know the name of the song he is singining at the end of this video? It's quiet a catchy song.

[@BluBoyMusic]

because we arwe very used to him with full facial hair (by that i mean his mustache)

[@rsfan999]

I think Akala blazed a fat spliff before this interview

[@goodsahal]

[@Ziggy246]

[@brobes84]

[@abhishekray77]

Indian needs more of Akala before the germ of the likes of Honey and Badshah corrupt the young minds of Bharath.

[@Mr300619]
