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.

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.
