Padma and the real Mr. President of France
A couple of weeks ago, 2012 Republican candidate for the Prez, Ms. Sarah Palin was pranked by a couple of comedians from a Quebec based radio station –who pretended to be French President Nicolas Sarkozy. The result was really a hilarious six minute conversation with fake French President.
But a week ago something really interesting happened. RajaHasan.com’s only resident celebrity, Padma ran into the real French President, Nicolas Sarkozy during her Paris trip – and that happened right at the Louvre Museum – when she had gone to have a glimpse at the famed Mona Lisa painting.
Luckily, we have managed to find a transcript of the pretty interesting conversation between his Excellency and her Excellency. The transcript has been translated from French by an amateur like me, so it might be inaccurate – or at times way of the mark.
Sarkozy: Madam, you have a wonderfully sculpted nose.
Padma: Monseiur, it isn’t sculpted, and I have heard that pickup line several times.
Sarkozy: Ah.. perhaps you haven’t recognized me…
Padma: Of course, I recognize you – you are one of those old French lechers who go hanging around museums looking for a date.
Sarkozy: Oh no, you are mistaken – I am Sarko.
Padma: Sarko? Chalo yahaan se sarko!
Sarkozy: What was that? I am Sarkozy. Nicolas Sarkozy. The president of the French Republic. The République Française.
Padma: Oh really? Then I must be Sarah Palin.
Sarkozy: Oh no, you are joking – I know Ms.Palin. You don’t look like her. Neither do you wear those rimless glasses. You look more like a Brazilian.
Padma: I’m Indian, you old [expletive].
Sarkozy: India? Wow! I love India – I love those Chicken Tikkas. My wife Carla Bruni’s grandfather had founded CEAT tyres – you know that India’s largest selling tyre brand? But you speak excellent French for an Indian.
Padma: You have a wife? And yet you go around museums hunting for a date? Aren’t you ashamed doing that at this age?
Sarkozy: You are mistaken, Ms. India – I am not looking for a date. I have a wonderful wife with a perfectly chiseled nose – but nothing compared to your nose. But she’s a wonderful singer as well – just released her third album. You interested in music?
Padma: You think she can sing better than my favourite singer?
Sarzkozy: Who is your favourite singer?
Padma: Raja Hasan…
Sarkozy: Raja who? She sings in French?
Padma: No, HE sings in Hindi – back in India.
Sarkozy: No problem, Ce n’est pas un problème – bring him to France. We’ll cut a French album in his voice. It will be a super hit. If you would like, we’ll give him with the highest civilian honour – the Legion d’ Honneur – like we gave your Indian actor – what’s his name – Mr.Bachchan… but dear lady, you do have a splendid nose. Even the Mona Lisa here doesn’t have such a fine nose.
Padma: Forget my nose. Why can’t you stop being so nosey? And do you think I’ll fall for a fake Sarkozy?
Sarkozy: No, no, I am not fake.
Padma: I know just a couple of days ago, a fake Sarkozy pranked Sarah Palin. What’s with your country – do you have fake Presidents in every street? [Something inaudible and unprintable].
Sarkozy: No, no – I am the real president. See those men in black suits – they are the real secret service. As real as this Mona Lisa. I have a real wife - Carla. A real nosey lady, however. Everything is real – just as real as your nose.
Padma: I have had enough of you, Mr.Fake President.
(Walks away…)
Sarkozy: (Yelling and pleading) But Ms. Beautiful nose – I am the real Nicolas Sarkozy – his Excellency, the President of France.
Padma: And I am the Joan of Arc.
Sadly, an opportunity lost. Else one of our resident celebrities would have ended up as the first lady of France.

padma jee!!! wats’ this ???paris mei itna kuch hua aur aapne media ko bataya takk nahi??:)
how dare you manish grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! and why are you so obsessed with my nose? cant resist it can you? in any case i understand it is so beautiful and so unique. N’est-ce pas Monsieur Maniche???
and such fundu french. hats off to you. the only thing that hurt me and that was below the belt was my assuming sarah palin’s identity. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
take it back right away or I ll do a palin on you hehe lol lol and such a disgusting man you chose for me to be having a conversation!!!! yuck yuck yuck hate the guy
and yes the conversation was so hilarious bet the fake sarko and palin and she is so so so dumb!!!
one of the reasons for obama’s win certainly, the other being of course george w bush and thirdly obama’s age as compared to mc cain’s. imagine running the risk of sarah palin as the president?????????????????????????????
how could the republicans knowing very well the huge liability they started with thanks to bush junior make such a bad choice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! plain dumb the whole thing has been from beginning to end. Such a farce and so much of money gone down the drain.
anyway let’s hope that obama lives up to his reputation. in any case after bush, he can but win by any yardstick i guess.
and what is amazing is that they also take sarko’s case. literally killing two birds with one stone haha. and she is so dumb even when sarko goes on and on abt how he loves killing all those animals etc. well i guess the french have indeed built up their queer reputation rather well the kinky one so anyone can accept anything coming from the french i suppose. sorry for all the ramblings guys. bye for now.
shit shit shit my cable not working. so no salman for me. am feeling so miserable.
padma….. tumhari nose appeal to bilkul rajahasan ki chrishmatic appeal jaisi ho gayi hai…….manishsahab to likhe hi chale ja rahe hai……padma ab tum bhi kuch likh hi daalo manish par.
Padma, if I remember correctly, you have interpreted for the President of France, right? Jaques Chirac?
Shashi ji, ek Cleopatra ki naak thi jisney itihaas badal diya - aur ab Padma ki naak hai…
aaj kal padma jee ke nose ke bade charche hain…
nose na huyee koi shaayar ki ghazal ho gayee..
har koi usee ke baare mei likhta jaa raha hai
Padma jee ki naak to naak hai. Hamara naak to pakoda hai.
manish ji….. kaash main ek baar aapse mili hoti to tab main bhi kuch likhne ke kaabil hoti aap par .
filhal ye duty main isliye padma ko de rahi hoon.
aray to padma jee se bhi to poocho ki unhone ye duty qabool ki kya??
ab jis andaaz main itne taareefo ke pul bandhe gaye hain to thanks kehne ke andaaz main ye duty khud hi kubool ho jaaygi.
haan ye baat to hai …tareefo ki pul baandhe gaye lekin padma jee ne tab bhi thanks nahi kaha…
ek thanks giving speech to deni hi chahiyee…hai naa??
of course ….ahmed.
shashi ji aap dekh rahi hain shakuntala ko ghas nahi daltha aur padma ki naak ko bhula nahi saktha dekh rahi hain kya zamana agaya hai puri kahani likh dali padma ki naak par thodi si sharam bhi nahi ayee aur wahan shaku intezaar mein dubli huwi ja rahi hai

Shashi ji mein ne abhi aap ka post parha aap ko milne ki zaroorath nahi hai tasweer hai merey paas ab bol manishwa tu toh gaya kaam se
manish jee mai aap ke liye dua-e- khair karta hun ..aapne padma jee ki naak ki zara see taareef kya kardee, aap ko badnaam kiya ja raha hai.
mai to apka defence lawyer lag raha hun…lol
Haan haan kyon nahi ek hi zaath ke jo ho tum defense lawyer nahi hogay toh aur kaun ho ga ek hi thali ke chatey batey ho
If Palin runs for President in 2012, at least she has name recognition going for her… but that may not work in her favor

hehe me too had great fun reading it. by the way both sarko and manish have pretty illustrious noses too, i mean illustrious for the cartoon variety. as manish admits pakora nose he has.
and yes i did interpret for jacques chirac but never will i for sarko that’s for sure.
