and problematic things Hardik Pandya said on Koffee With Karan:
1. KJo: Why don't
you ask women's names at nightclubs? HP: I like to watch and observe how they
move. I'm little from the Black side so I need to see how they move.
2. Hardik Pandya: "When I lost my virginity, I came
home and said, "Main karke aya hai aaj".
HP: "At a party
my parents asked me acha tera wala (women) kaun sa hai so I said yeh, yeh, yeh
(pointing out women) and they were like waah proud of u beta."
3. KJo: If y'all hit on the same women, then how you decide?
KL Rahul: "Ya upto the woman." Hardik Pandya: "Nahi nahi aisa
kuch nahi hai, talent pe hota hai. Jisko mila woh leke jao."
