  • AMA with Niveditha Prakasam and Devanshi Shah | Cyrus Says

    In this laugh-out-loud episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with comedians Nivedita and Devanshi for a wildly entertaining and unpredictable conversation. What starts as a casual chat about AMAs quickly spirals into hilarious commentary on bad coffee, South Indian pride, chaotic Indian traffic, and the trials of learning how to drive in Mumbai. The episode is packed with travel tales—from comedy gigs in Melbourne and a solo trip to New Zealand, to unexpected moments of cultural confusion (yes, someone mistakes them for being Chinese). They discuss the unique struggles of being comedians, getting paid in foreign lands, surviving conservative expectations, and how their Indian audiences evolve once they move abroad. It wouldn’t be Cyrus Says without a few absurd games and off-track rants—expect debates over cricketers versus comedians, awkward public encounters, and a Marathi cuss word guessing game that goes nowhere fast. Oh, and somewhere in the chaos, Cyrus also receives a “most entertaining podcast” award—whatever that means. It’s unfiltered, unapologetic, and totally ridiculous—in the best way possible.

  • Aakash Mehta and Punit Pania | AMA Special | Cyrus Says

    What happens when two comedians try to start a legitimate business in India? Chaos, comedy, and a crash course in bureaucracy. In this uproarious AMA episode, Cyrus is joined by Aakash Mehta and Punit Pania for a brutally honest (and hilariously exaggerated) look at the absurdities of launching a comedy club franchise in Mumbai. From Kafkaesque hurdles like spacing errors in company names to bizarre banking interviews and mandatory metal signage, the conversation highlights the surreal experience of navigating India’s startup ecosystem.

    But it doesn’t stop there. The trio dives into deeper cultural waters—examining the complexities of Indian communities, caste dynamics, and regional quirks through witty anecdotes and sharp satire. They propose tongue-in-cheek “dog laws,” dissect gym etiquette, and rant about everything from awkward marriage expectations to the loudness of Gujarati uncles.

    There’s also time for literary hot takes, with a no-holds-barred discussion on reading habits, attention spans, and the death of dense prose in the age of social media. Whether they’re joking about Isaac Asimov or mocking society’s obsession with labels, Aakash, Punit, and Cyrus strike a unique balance between biting humor and cultural insight.

    This episode is part therapy, part social critique, and fully entertaining—a must-watch for anyone who's tried to do business in India, lived in its cities, or just enjoys smart comedy with a side of chaos.

  • AMA with Shamik Chakrabarti and Siddharth Dudeja

    In this absolutely chaotic and laugh-out-loud episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by comedians Shamik Chakrabarti and Siddharth Dudeja for a wild ride through the world of cricket, comedy, current affairs, and some truly bizarre AMA questions sent in by the Discord community. The trio dives into everything from Nicholas Pooran’s surprise retirement to picking their World Cup XI vs India XI teams, debating which cricketers deserve a biopic, and hilariously deciding which actors should play them. There’s also a tribute to MS Dhoni being inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, and a laugh-filled attempt to explain RCB's hypothetical IPL ban to an 8-year-old.

  • From Whistling Woods to Netflix Stardom ft. Akansha Ranjan Kapoor

    What happens when a city-bred actor known for Netflix dramas finds herself playing a small-town role in Gram Chikitsalay? In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha sits down with Akansha Ranjan Kapoor for a candid, funny, and deeply relatable conversation about life in the spotlight — and everything it isn’t.
    Akansha opens up about growing up in a film family, why she still had to hustle hard to make her mark, and how formal training at Whistling Woods gave her the confidence to pursue acting seriously. From juggling PR jobs while auditioning to landing her breakthrough in Guilty, her journey is filled with unexpected turns — and plenty of self-deprecating humor.
    They talk about the unexpected creative freedom she found working with TVF, and how roles like Gram Panchayat challenged her to step out of her comfort zone. Along the way, the conversation spirals into relatable chaos: the decline of social drinking, generational shifts in social media behavior, and why some parents just shouldn’t comment on their kids’ reels.
    This episode is about more than acting — it’s about identity, adaptability, and growing up in public. Whether you’re a Gen Z listener, a Bollywood buff, or just someone who’s terrified of driving in Indian traffic, you’ll find something to laugh at, relate to, or learn from.
