Actor, Bigg Boss contestant, lawyer, social activist — Kunickaa Sadanand has lived many lives.

In this candid and wildly entertaining episode of Cyrus Says, Kunickaa opens up about Bigg Boss reality vs perception, getting married at 16, painful custody battles, becoming a lawyer at 48, divorces, motherhood, reinvention, and why she believes marriage has an expiry date.

From hilarious Bigg Boss house stories (bathroom wars, hygiene rules, kitchen politics) to deeply emotional moments about losing custody of her son and fighting a nine-year legal battle, this episode swings effortlessly between laughter and raw honesty.

Cyrus, as always, adds chaos, sarcasm, and uncomfortable truths — making this a conversation about resilience, growth, and choosing yourself.

This is not gossip.
This is survival, humour, and perspective — Cyrus Says style.

What does it really mean to represent a country?

In this wide-ranging and deeply human conversation, H.E. Mohamed Maliki, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco, reflects on a lifetime in diplomacy — from childhood memories and family sacrifices to surviving violence, navigating geopolitics, and building friendships across cultures.

We talk about Morocco, India, Pakistan, Cameroon, the unseen pressures of diplomatic service, and why dialogue matters more than ever in a fractured world. The Ambassador also shares personal philosophies on success, family, discipline, food, culture, leadership, and what truly matters in life.

This episode is not about headlines — it’s about human values behind global relations.

📘 Based on his book “What If… Why Not?”

The 26/11 Mumbai attacks are often remembered as three horrific days in November 2008.
But according to Nikhil Ravi, co-author of Perfect Storm, they were the outcome of over 60 years of history, policy, ideology, and state-sponsored terror.

In this deeply researched and unsettling conversation, Cyrus Broacha and Nikhil Ravi trace the roots of 26/11 all the way back to Partition (1947) — examining how Pakistan’s doctrine of asymmetric warfare evolved, how global powers played their part, and how terror organisations like Lashkar-e-Taiba became highly professionalised machines.

Anchored by insights from Prabhakar Aloka, former Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau, this episode goes beyond outrage and emotion to focus on context, systems, and uncomfortable truths.

This is not an easy listen — but it is an essential one.
