  • AMA with Shamik and Siddharth | Cyrus Says
    2025/06/11

    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.

    They also tackle serious and silly topics alike—talking about stampedes and stadium safety, underrated IPL bowlers, and the totally unexpected return of Vijay Mallya “after years”.

    Packed with sharp banter, ridiculous hypotheticals, and real cricket analysis (kind of), this episode is the perfect blend of comedy and commentary you didn’t know you needed.

  • From Whistling Woods to Netflix Stardom ft. Akansha Ranjan Kapoor
    2025/06/09

    What happens when a city-bred actor known for Netflix dramas finds herself playing a small-town role in Gram Panchayat? 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.

  • THE OG DUO IS BACK | AMA With Aakash Mehta and Punit Pania
    2025/05/28

    Mumbai is underwater (again), and so is Cyrus’ will to live — but that doesn’t stop this Cyrus Says AMA episode from turning into full-blown chaos. Joining him are Puneet Pania, who’s grumpier than the weather, and Akash Mehta, whose back pain has nothing to do with age and everything to do with… let’s just say other activities.

    The trio plunges into Mumbai’s coastal road mess, train-soaked trauma, and the weird magic of Zomato/Swiggy delivery guys — who somehow appear in your lift exactly when you open the door, like teleporting ninjas with momos.

    Akash takes us to Thailand, shares a food story you can’t un-hear, and wonders why Indians always look sad while traveling.

    Meanwhile, the AMA section serves up gems like how Cyrus became a human alarm clock, the mystery of Mysore Pak all of which has a witty twist to entertain the listeners.

    Packed with Puneet’s pessimism, Akash’s awkward honesty, and Cyrus’ desperate attempts to stay on track, this one’s pure, delightful nonsense. Basically, a normal day at Cyrus Says.
