In this video clip of Aishwarya Rai’s famous interview with David Letterman, he tries to make fun of Indian tradition, but he gets burned straight down with her curt, punchy, straight-on-the-face replies. After greeting Aishwarya Rai as the “Most Beautiful Woman in the World”, during the interview Letterman asks her:
David Letterman: “Do you live with your parents in India?”
Aishwarya Rai: “Yes, I do.”
David Letterman: “Is it common in India for elder children to live with their parents?”
Aishwarya Rai: “It’s common in India to live with your parents… it’s also common in India that we don’t need to take appointments with our parents to meet for dinner.”
