  • “I’m gonna slit my wrists if…” Sayani Gupta on Cyrus Says
    Jan 21 2026

    Actor Sayani Gupta joins Cyrus Says for one of the most candid conversations she’s ever had — about ambition, money, fear, and the cost of choosing yourself.

    Sayani talks about growing up in Kolkata, secretly moving to Delhi at 18, turning down a fast-track corporate career (including a GM-level role), lying to her bosses to attend film school auditions, and eventually walking away from financial security to study at the Film and Television Institute of India.

    She opens up about her early films, underpayment, critical acclaim with Margarita With a Straw and Article 15, being featured on Pornhub without consent, navigating success as a woman, loneliness, dating in modern India, and why many women today feel they’ve outgrown the men around them.

    Funny, uncomfortable, emotional, and brutally honest — this episode goes far beyond filmography into what it actually costs to live life on your own terms.

  • What It Really Takes to Be a Pro Tennis Player. ft. Sumit Nagal
    Jan 19 2026

    India’s No.1 singles tennis player Sumit Nagal joins Cyrus Says for a rare, honest conversation about what it actually takes to survive professional tennis.

    From playing street games in Delhi to training abroad as a teenager, almost quitting the sport at 12 because it was too expensive, winning Junior Wimbledon doubles, breaking into the ATP Top 100, and taking a set off Roger Federer — Sumit walks through every high and low of his journey.

    He also speaks candidly about the financial reality of tennis, injuries, life on tour, Davis Cup pressure, why most Indian players have to leave the country to succeed, and what needs to change for Indian tennis to grow.

    With Cyrus adding humour and curiosity, this episode pulls back the curtain on a sport that looks glamorous — but is anything but.

    ⚠️ Language & humour warning.

  • From Vidyut Jamwal to Urine Therapy | Cock n Bull with Vineeth Srinivasan
    Jan 16 2026

    Stand-up comedian Vineeth Srinivasan joins Cyrus Broacha for a completely unhinged episode of Cock & Bull, where structure is optional and logic is discouraged.

    From being confused with a Malayalam movie star, to debating Vidyut Jamwal climbing trees naked, political outrage cycles, Indian cricket obsession, podcast culture, election narratives, Mumbai trains, Bigg Boss trauma, long-term relationships, and the slow horror of aging bodies — this conversation goes exactly where it shouldn’t.

    There are opinions.
    There is gossip.
    There is way too much talk about urine.

    This episode is not informative.
    It is extremely Cock & Bull.

  • Actor, Entrepreneur & Shark Tank Success: Parul Gulati
    Jan 14 2026

    In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha is joined by actor and entrepreneur Parul Gulati, best known for her work in films, OTT shows, and as the founder of Nish Hair, one of India’s fastest-growing hair extension brands.

    Parul talks about her journey from television and Punjabi films to studying acting, struggling through low-paying gigs, and eventually building a successful consumer brand that featured on Shark Tank India. She shares how Nish Hair started at home, listening closely to customers, scaling the business, opening physical stores, and balancing entrepreneurship with acting projects.

    The conversation also covers Shark Tank auditions, running a team, handling failure, confidence, hair loss stigma, and her latest film release — all with Cyrus’ trademark humour and digressions.

    A candid conversation about hustle, reinvention, and building something real from the ground up.

  • From Fashion to Politics: Shaina NC on Power, Campaigns & Mumbai
    Jan 12 2026

    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.

  • Democracy, Dung & Disaster New Years | Cock & Bull ft. Puneet Pania
    Jan 9 2026

    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.

  • Maanvi Gagroo on Cyrus Says
    Jan 7 2026

    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.
