The guy who plays Navid is Sanjeev Kohli who is an Indian Sikh was was brought up in Scotland. He was only in his 30s when he played this part. He was the best character in the show.
Totally. Love from Glasgow, folks. The actress who plays Mina translates the lines herself, occasionally altering them slightly to translate better from English. Glad you’re enjoying. ✌️❤️🏴🇬🇧🏳️🌈xxx
In Scotland we are a bit possessive of our Scots/Indian population. "OUR" Indian's. Down south they don't tend to call themselves "English". Up here we'd be offended if they didn't call themselves Scots.
I think Greg Hemphill and Ford Kiernan were very generous writers, giving some brilliant lines to the rest of the ensemble, and in Navid they created the most wonderful of characters.
Meena is Navid's wife, definitely. There is one episode where Meena travels back to India, and Navid has to mind the shop alone. All the time he worries that Meena'll be seeing one of her old suitors, that she had as a young woman, who subsequently became a Bollywood star. Maybe try watching full episodes and you'll get the context of the jokes, and also begin to understand the Scottish accent. (It's the same for us English guys ...it takes a while to understand them)
We're all Glaswegion, does'nt matter you're background, we all rip each other and its brilliant. Still game brings everyone together. laugh folks, that's what its all about.
Wow you sound such a friendly community so i guess its a lie about religion dividing your city, you love Indians but hate any one with a different religious belief to yours.
His name is also a play on words. His last name is Harrid, therefore his little store is known as Harrid's, which is a reference to the high end British department store Harrod's
Really enjoying your reactions to Navid & his wife Meena. The actress who plays Meena was worried about making that Hindi comment and the reaction from friends as she said it was very offensive.
The actor, Sanjeev Kohli, at the time was around 30 years old. He was born in London and moved to Scotland when he was young I think 3-4 years old so he's really Scottish. His actual accent in real life is very Scottish too, but he is making an amazing caricature of his family and the fact in Scotland and probably all of UK we have lots of Indian shopkeepers. I have loved watching Sanjeev in all his television etc

He's a great character and his mix of Indian accent with a Scottish twang makes his delivery even better.
I love it when Navid says "pure quality" - it's perfect!

Love this guy. My favourite character. His wife steals so many scenes too but never shows her face.
Yeah but in the last episode she turns round smiles waves and fades away
Navid is a good strong character, not as subservient as Apu in the Simpsons. He has exactly the right attitude to survive in Scotland.
You two are vast becoming my favourite channel ' you need to do full still game reactions ❤️ from Glasgow 🏴

Scots.
Just stumbled across you guys. It's refreshing to see you understand British humour, language and grammar more than some American reactors

Navid Harrid is a Scottish national treasure!!.
If you watch the full episodes of Still Game, you must wait until the end as there's always always a clip after the credits
I love listening to you two! Xx

I don’t know how I got here so quick but I guess that’s me 😂😂 first view and first like 😂
Lol , the good news is that the vast majority of Scot’s do not know what Meena is saying but we can guess 😅
👍🏴
Top quality review of Still Game. Navid comes from a successful family of entertainers.
We're all Glaswegion, does'nt matter you're background, we all rip each other and its brilliant. Still game brings everyone together. laugh folks, that's what its all about.

Our local shop is owned by a couple called Navid (spelt Naveed) and Meena!

Namaste from a cold and dark Scotland 😀

Why doesn't she stope rolling her eyes puts me off lol😅🎉😂😂😂sweet cheeks ❤🎉😊
There's a film called east is east. It's a good film. You both might like it. I was made in 1999 😊
Do the full episodes, such a good series and you will get used the accent in no time and we'll obviously explain the slang.
Really enjoying your reactions to Navid & his wife Meena.
The actress who plays Meena was worried about making that Hindi comment and the reaction from friends as she said it was very offensive.
Watch the sector's as theirs lots of fun and laughter with all the different characters in the stories
You need to watch the full episodes to get the context of some of the scenes
He is not shy because he is Glaswegian Scottish lol
Meema is his wife still game is hilarious 😄👍
So Meena’s lines are genuine Hindi? That just makes it even funnier!
Another British sitcom you may like is Citizen Khan, not only will you have no trouble comprehending it but you will hopefully find it very funny too.
I always thought Citizen Khan was based on the Pakistani culture … hmm.. maybe I was wrong ?
👍🏴
you can watch the full episodes without being flagged so enjoy.

We get to see Mina's face in the final episode - she looks the camera dead in the eye and flashes a big smile!
She has a beautiful smile too.
