    Welcome to Cyrus Says!In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Gitikka Dhar, one of India’s most seasoned live-event hosts and anchors for a candid, funny, and deeply personal conversation about anchoring, acting, ageism, motherhood, menopause, spirituality, and surviving the entertainment industry. From her early days in Delhi and landing high-paying anchor gigs to rebuilding her career after motherhood, Gitikka opens up about the emotional and professional realities of staying relevant in a youth-obsessed industry. The episode also dives into her journey into acting, working with Aamir Khan, sharing screen space with Ranveer Singh, navigating rejection and comeback phases, and why experience, presence, and self-belief still matter more than industry labels. With Cyrus in full chaotic form, the conversation swings from Ozempic and parking rage to Bollywood crushes, casting, live hosting, and personal growth. Honest, hilarious, and unexpectedly moving, this is Gitikka Dhar like you’ve rarely heard her before. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Welcome to Cyrus Says!In this episode, Cyrus is joined by Ajay Ambekar, an ex-bureaucrat, former PRO to multiple Chief Ministers of Maharashtra, and a man who has worked deep inside the machinery of government, media strategy, culture, and VIP protocol.

Along the way, the two discuss board-game culture in India, election symbols, VIP convoys, ministers, protocol, and why politics is far messier, smarter, and more human than most people assume. Funny, sharp, and packed with insider insight, this is a must-watch for anyone curious about Indian politics and how the system really works.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    From Lower Parel Slums to Changing 10,000 Lives | Siddhesh Lokare | Sidiously | Cyrus Says

    You know an episode is good when Cyrus slowly stops joking and starts listening properly. Siddhesh Lokare joins Cyrus to talk about growing up in Mumbai, studying beside bathroom lights, crashing lectures for content, paying Taj hotel bills in coins, and eventually travelling across Maharashtra trying to fix schools one village at a time. There are moments in this episode that are hilarious. There are moments that are genuinely heartbreaking. And then there are moments where Cyrus completely derails the conversation for absolutely no reason. So basically: perfect Cyrus Says episode. Also fair warning: After this episode you may suddenly feel guilty about complaining about Mumbai traffic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    From Bharatanatyam to Rock Stardom: Raghu Dixit on Cyrus Says

    One broken G-string, one angry Bharatanatyam student, and somehow… Glastonbury. Raghu Dixit walks into Cyrus Says with a guitar and enough stories to make three biopics nervous. From secretly learning guitar in Mysore because a friend called dance “not macho enough,” to borrowing a stranger’s guitar at Glastonbury and holding 3,000 people hostage with just his voice — this episode has everything. Cyrus and Raghu dive into Amma, the deeply personal song Raghu wrote after realizing he’d thanked everyone in life except his mother. But somewhere between rasam rice, Radio City jingles, Brian Adams concerts, Belgium miracles, and spiritual therapists handing him imaginary Grammys… this becomes a conversation about purpose, depression, survival, and why music still matters. Also featuring: Why Raghu almost became a scientist The accidental Bharatanatyam career Vishal-Shekhar discovering him at Zenzi Mental health, therapy & Glass Onion Why he sings in multiple languages live The greatest chai-bun success story ever told Follow Raghu Dixit: @theraghudixitproject See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
