  • I listen to this all the time and it’s great!

    So I listen to SBS Spice, then after the same length of the episode, I play Roblox and then listen to SBS Spice again – and this repeats. Try it sometime! It's very detailed, by the way, since it's in Hindi.

Q: Anupam, tell me, how did Dil Chahta Hai enter Australia? Was it always part of the script?

Could You Survive SBS's Alone Australia?
