此人毫不掩饰自己作为首相粉丝的身份.他最近因为制作了一个赞颂首相穆迪的视频而登上各大媒体头条,此举被《印度斯坦时报》称为"阿谀奉承",也算嘴下留情了.
Public display of affection is taboo in largely conservative India and kissing scenes are routinely blocked in films and television soaps.

Indians who have had to wait an extra three weeks to watch the latest Bond movie were predictably outraged, but soon decided to channel their outrage into more creative uses.

The term "Sanskari" translates from the Hindi as "virtuous". So Indian social media users took pains to make James Bond that way. They photoshopped Bond girls out of bikinis, tampered with intimate scenes and put actor Daniel Craig into traditional Indian wear.
"Sanskari"在印地语里是"正直"的意思.所以印度社交媒体用户努力把邦德塑造成"正直"的样子.他们把亲昵镜头中邦女郎的比基尼PS掉,给男演员丹尼尔·克雷格"穿上"传统的印度服饰.
The last laugh though is still on the Indian viewer as the cuts, for now at least, are here to stay.
但谁是最终的胜利者显然取决于印度观众,至少目前来看,删减还是无法避免的.
Less prudish, it appears, are some of India's neighbours.
印度的一些邻国们似乎并不那么假正经.
Spectre has already been released in Pakistan, where the kissing scenes are uncut - although a bedroom scene has been removed. In Sri Lanka, the film is being released with no cuts at all.
《007幽灵党》已经在巴基斯坦上映,并没有删吻戏,只删去了一场床戏.而在斯里兰卡,该影片没有经过任何删减就直接上映.
