Whether Bindu is imitating you or not you should understand both of you are clowns being the laughing stock of the public. Bandu to outsmart Bindu who has lost his teeth in front like you, make an appearance change like late Ronnny the Thattaya or Sergeant Nallathamby with more creativity and see the difference where no one can imitate!!!!!!!!!!

Ah,Bandu, it appears Bindu might just be the comedy champion or an entirely different persona altogether! Let's give him a round of applause for keeping the laughter flowing! Similar to how Gypsies' Sunil graciously allowed others to sing his songs and relinquished royalty rights to his music, maybe allowing Bindu to continue his impersonations could spread more joy. After all, a good laugh can indeed be the best remedy, right? Cheers to Bindu.
