She said she won’t go there… but she did. From her relationship status to trolls, nepo kids, awkward silences, tattoos, and her very filmy dad’s 90s hits — Akasa spills it all with Srishti & Salonie.

This is Akasa like you’ve never seen her:

From “Thug Ranjha” to “Chamak” – her music journey

The most awkward silences on set

The mosquito song & wrong lyrics roast

Talking trolls, nepo kids & the Bollywood circus

Her worst recording day (and why she still loves Himesh)

Relationship status reveal (yes, we asked)

Mentored by Mika Singh, surviving SonyLiv, and what’s next

Cupgraded isn’t your typical podcast — it’s unfiltered comedy, subtle roast, and the chaos of two girls asking the questions you actually want answers to.

India’s biggest casting director—MUKESH CHHABRA—finally sits with two girls who have zero acting talent, but plenty of questions. From calling Hansal Mehta his “father figure,” to navigating nepotism, discovering hidden talent, and dodging all the weird auditions (and weird people IN auditions), this is a side of Mukesh you don’t get to see often.

He spills on:

How actors REALLY get cast

His friendship with Sushant Singh Rajput

That one time he gave a chance that changed everything

The truth about the “casting couch”

This is heartfelt, hilarious, and humbling—and yes, we also asked him if WE could get cast. Spoiler: we probably won’t. Watch till the end for one of the most honest Bollywood convos out there.

Is comedy a coping mechanism or a career? According to Shreya Priyam Roy – it’s both. In this unapologetically real and outrageously funny episode, Salonie and Srishti sit down with Shreya—comedian, artist, future Gurgaon bride—to talk about everything from good touch/bad touch, domestic abuse for comics (a.k.a. getting "punched" with jokes), to why people still think "girls aren't funny."

Women’s Day is profitable.

Comedy is therapy.

Wedding is in February.

But laughter? That’s non-negotiable.

If you’ve ever laughed through pain, turned trauma into punchlines, or questioned why being a woman on stage is still a "thing"—this episode is your jam.

Either you’re pregnant or you’re a feminist. Either you’re independent or you need him to buy the pendant.Welcome to the grey zone where being a woman today is a full-time identity crisis. In this episode, it’s just Srishti and Salonie. No guests. No filters. Just an open, messy, real chat about the pressure of having it all… and paying for it too. From lifting doors (and getting a sprained back), to Splitwise-ing life with your partner, we’re breaking down the blurred lines between feminism, financial independence, emotional burnout, and how not to let “judgy samaj” win. This one’s for every woman who’s ever felt guilty for asking, apologetic for earning, or judged for trying to do both.

Is formula milk anti-feminist?

Can you split rent and still expect romance?

Where do you draw the line?

Let’s find out!

UntitledIn today’s episode, we’ve got the super talented Shahid Mallya — the voice behind "Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye" and "Ik Tu Hi Tu" — but this time, he’s not just singing… he’s surviving our roast seat. What happens when the Sur Samrat meets two self-declared Queens? We’re not saying we sang better than him... but he definitely cried inside after hearing our alaaps. From “Ikk Kudi” breakdowns to tabla trauma, Shahid dropped wisdom, vocals, and the occasional savage comeback. But did he survive the Shahid Kapoor × Vijay Mallya name roast? Not quite. Shahid Mallya came to share his musical journey, but ended up getting pulled into our wild world of roasting. Yeh episode full-on gaya… in all senses.

In today’s episode, we’ve got Viraj Ghelani and his wife who legit met on a dandiya night (peak Gujju energy). They bond over unhealthy food choices but the worst decision? Coming on our podcast.

Agar tumhara bhi koi pyaar ka kissa hai ya bas tips chahiye to level up your dating game, iss episode ko skip mat karna.

Why do so many acting introductions look like ransom videos? We sit with Kavish Sinha to decode terrible self-tapes, fake accents, no-English-no-problem auditions, and the very real responsibility of handling intimacy on set. Two girls think this episode will land them a role, but… yeah, not happening. 

Today we talk about our living in experience and urge you to test drive your partners before you get married. PUN INTENDED. 

Two Girls tell you honestly what they like and they dont when a man approaches them. Listen carefully and you might pick up a trick or two.
