In this special episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with his longtime friend and former college classmate Shaina NC — fashion entrepreneur turned politician — at a crucial moment in her political journey.

Recorded in the middle of an active election campaign, Shaina speaks candidly about her transition from fashion to politics, early electoral losses, campaigning on the ground, women in leadership, governance challenges, and what public service actually demands on a day-to-day basis.

The conversation also touches on Mumbai’s infrastructure, civic responsibility, voting awareness, and the physical and mental toll of campaigning — all layered with Cyrus’ trademark humour and familiarity.

This episode offers a rare look at the human side of electoral politics, beyond slogans and soundbites.

New Year. New resolutions. Same nonsense.

In this classic Cock & Bull episode, Cyrus Broacha and Puneet Pania spiral through politics, democracy, global conflicts, hostel trauma, Mumbai trains, DJ music, dung, milk parties, and the slow death of common sense.

From spending New Year’s Eve alone in a backpacker hostel in Gokarna, to calling the cops on DJs, to debating Umar Khalid, Venezuela, North Korea, IPL geopolitics, and why democracy now feels like a badly managed train compartment — nothing is sacred and nothing is resolved.

There are no answers.
There are barely questions.
There is a boat story involving spit, and somehow that still isn’t the worst part.

This episode is angry, funny, deeply Indian, and extremely Cock & Bull.

Actor, dancer, web-series icon — Maanvi Gagroo has grown up in front of the internet.
In this candid, funny, and surprisingly reflective episode of Cyrus Says, she returns for the third time to talk about everything that’s changed — and everything that hasn’t.

From Tripling to the final season of Four More Shots Please, Maanvi opens up about career longevity, body image, creative burnout, intense shoots, and the emotional weight of saying goodbye to a character she played for years.

She also gets real about marriage, live-in relationships, meeting her husband Kumar Varun during lockdown, why she never wanted to get married — until suddenly she did — and what made this time feel different.

Add Cyrus Broacha’s trademark interruptions, questionable analogies, and zero filter, and you get a conversation that moves effortlessly between humour, vulnerability, nostalgia, and adulting truths.

This episode is about growing up, choosing commitment on your own terms, and learning to let go — on screen and off.

The year is over.
Preparation is zero.

In this spectacularly unprepared Cock & Bull year-ender, Cyrus Broacha and Kunal Vijaykar attempt to look back at the biggest moments of the year — armed with ChatGPT, fading memory, and absolute confidence.

From the Mahakumbh madness, influencer outrage, comedy controversies, elections, wars, airline chaos, dog rulings, tariffs, Bigg Boss–level politics, and Messi’s surreal India visit, to a heroic inability to remember who won the Chess World Cup — this episode is a masterclass in talking loudly while knowing very little.

There are opinions.
There are arguments.
There are facts… occasionally.

This is not analysis.
This is Cock & Bull.

What makes some people fear animals… and others harm them?

In this powerful and brutally honest episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by psychiatrist Dr Shefali Batra to explore the psychology of empathy, animal cruelty, fear, rage, and conditioning.

From stray dogs and animal feeders being attacked, to disturbing real-life cases of cruelty, this conversation dives deep into the human mind — asking uncomfortable but necessary questions:

• Is cruelty a lack of empathy?

• Are we conditioning children to fear animals?

• Can empathy be taught?

• And why do some people feel nothing at all?

Blending humour, outrage, science, and compassion, Cyrus and Dr Batra discuss mirror neurons, childhood conditioning, media bias, mental health, and what it truly means to coexist — with animals and with each other.

This episode is not just a conversation — it’s a call for empathy.
