Is this the first time we’re watching 24?

Maybe.

Who cares.

Right now, we’re watching Anil Kapoor oops President Omar Hassan, head of a Middle Eastern country, in the premiere of Season 8 of the TV series 24 on Fox.

Omar Hassan is in the U.S. for a crucial meeting with Madame President Allison Taylor.

And there’s a conspiracy afoot to derail the peace process.

Anil Kapoor has put in a decent performance. Thank God.

Imagine the humiliation to all desis here, if it had been the bozo Abhishek what’s-his-name playing President Hassan. We’d all have to wear a burkha tomorrow.
