BANGERS AND MASH, AND WHY ELBOW IS HIS FAVOURITE WORD
Who is Arjun Raina?
Hero of Shahrukh Khan’s first film “In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones”
What would you do differently to what you do now?
Nothing. I love what I do now. No changing!
Who inspires you and why?
The stars inspire me. I want to shine as bright when the night grows dark.
What would you do to make a difference in the world?
Talk to Pauline Hansen one-on-one.
What is your favourite holiday destination and why?
My favourite holiday destination is Australia. Because everyone is on a holiday here!
When friends come to town, what attraction would you take them to, and why?
I would take them to the neighbouring Aboriginal site “Hanging Rocks” so that they know on whose land they stand on.
What are you currently reading?
Facebook posts. Too many of them.
What are you currently listening to?
The wind. It’s begun to howl outside.
Happiness is…?
Bangers and mash. Bacon. Fries. Anything with unhealthy fat.
What does the future hold for you?
Another day.
Which contemporary actors do you most identify with?
Will Smith, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington… all black and handsome.
Favourite film?
‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’. Another one laid a couple of eggs in it. The third had them for breakfast.
Your 3 top dinner party guests and why?
Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and William. Would personally like to cook them a fine farewell Indian meal and then convince them to get out of Australia, leave, retire, dethrone, uncrown, vamoos…
Favourite word?
Elbow. It bends beautifully. Elbow.
What do the arts teach us and our children?
To love ourselves and the world.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
