    Shahid, our forever crush: The Padmaavat fallout, the Kareena reunion and everything in between

    He was the background dancer in Dil To Pagal Hai. He became the angry young man of Kabir Singh. But who is Shahid Kapoor really?This week on Casually Obsessed, we go full detective mode on Bollywood’s most versatile (and maybe most misunderstood) actor. Shruti is losing her mind over his Vivah era, Niharika is defending her questionable movie choices (Kismat Konnection. Anyone? Someome?) , and Aishwarya is serving unpopular opinions. In this episode, we ask the real questions: Did Shahid get robbed of his due in Padmaavat... or did he just handle it wrong? Why do actors have to go "toxic" just to revive their careers? (Yes, we went there.) And is there a hidden Shakespearean tragedy linking Shahid, Kareena, and Saif? AND....you haven't lived until you've heard: Shruti’s dramatic reenactment of Shahid's dialogues, the real reason we all think we are Geet, but are actually Aditya and Niharika’s hot take on Kismat Konnection that will leave you shook.Warning: Contains extreme fangirling, brutal honesty, and a debate about AI girlfriends that nobody asked for.

    AI Valentine vs Human Valentine: Who Wins? K-Dramas, ofc

    AI is polite, emotionally available, and always says yes. So, in this Valentine’s-coded episode of Casually Obsessed, we ask: would AI make the perfect boyfriend, or are we inviting a robo-rising? From ChatGPT marriages to solo dates with chatbots, we debate why people are choosing tech over humans. We also share a quick Valentine’s weekend watchlist (Oh Romeo, 'Tu Yaa Main' , and why Wuthering Heights is a risky and risqué pick), before diving into the K-wave: the K-dramas, food, skincare, and cultural obsession that’s taken over Indian screens (and hearts). Tune in right now! Hosted by Niharika Nanda, Aishwarya Khosla & Shruti Kaushal Edited and Mixed by Suresh Pawar Produced by Niharika Nanda

    'Be my mistress?' and other crimes against romance

    “Benedict is not ready to take a wife.” “For sure. For sure. For sure.” And honestly? We wanted to punch someone through the screen too. This week, we’re spiralling over Bridgerton season 4, 'outraging' over “iconic” jewellery being treated like mere red-carpet aesthetic at the Wuthering Heights premiere. And because it’s Casually Obsessed, we also talk Netflix announcements and upcoming titles, including Mismatched Season 4, Mamla Legal Hai Season 2, and Lust Stories 3. Stay tuned! Hosted by Niharika Nanda, Aishwarya Khosla and Shruti Kaushal Edited and Mixed by Suresh Pawar Produced by Niharika Nanda.

    ‘Nihilist’ or ‘Cheater’ Penguin?

    A viral penguin has taken over social media, and in this episode of Casually Obsessed, we break down the many theories sparked by a clip from Werner Herzog’s documentary, including the surprisingly dramatic possibility of penguin infidelity. In this unhinged episode, we also dive into Border 2, starring Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty, and unpack how Bollywood continues to lean heavily on nostalgia to stay afloat. We then shift gears to streaming, discussing two of Netflix’s most buzzed-about book adaptations: People We Meet on Vacation and Seven Dials by Agatha Christie. Stay tuned!

    Why is everyone throwing back to 2016?

    Hello, listeners! We’re officially teleporting back to 2016. As the throwback trend continues to dominate our feeds, this episode revisits the era of unforgettable viral moments like the mannequin challenge, Snapchat and Retrica filters, pop culture highs, iconic music like Charlie Puth's We Don't Talk Anymore and Closer by The Chainsmokers,  the Musically (now TikTok) wave, iconic Bollywood moments, and more. We also dive into A R Rahman’s recent controversy, which ‘unexpectedly’ drew a reaction from Kangana Ranaut. Plus, we discuss Vir Das’s latest acting stint in Happy Patel and Imran Khan’s guest appearance. Now, it’s for you to find out whether the film is worth your time and attention!

  6. Are older women sidelined in the workplace?

    Are older women sidelined in the workplace?

    Age is just a number… unless you are a woman. From leading men ageing like fine wine to actresses being quietly sidelined once they’re deemed “too old,” ageism still shapes who gets visibility and opportunity. In this episode, Niharika Nanda, Aishwarya Khosla, and Shruti Kaushal talk about the double standards around ageing — on screen, on social media, and in real life. From OTT reinventions and second innings to why experience is so rarely treated as an asset, they unpack how women navigate relevance, ambition, and visibility at every stage of life. They explore all this through the lens of the TV show - Younger, films like Saand ki Aankh and artists like comedian Zarna Garg, Madhuri Dixit, Neena Gupta and Rani Mukherji. Because growing older shouldn’t mean disappearing. Hosted by Niharika Nanda, Aishwarya Khosla & Shruti Kaushal Edited and Mixed by Suresh Pawar Produced by Niharika Nanda

  7. Is India ready for the DINK life?

    Is India ready for the DINK life?

    The DINK lifestyle is creating a buzz across the country, especially among urban couples rethinking traditional lifestyle. In this episode, we break down the pros and cons of choosing a double income, no kids life, unpacking what it means in the context of modern India. We also explore how pop culture shaped this mindset long before it had a name, with shows like Sex and the City, How I Met Your Mother normalising independence and unconventional choices. Furthermore, we also chime in on Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi-starrer “Haq”, which is streaming on Netflix and winning plaudits.

    Welcome to 2026: The Internet Is Cringe, Vecna Is Looming, and Bridgerton Is Back

    The New Year is here, and so is our favourite coping mechanism, which is overthinking pop culture so we don’t have to process real life. In this episode, we start with the big end-of-year question: what actually counts as “good” viral content, because the internet’s latest earworm (“one lollipop, two lollipop…”) is being roasted into oblivion, and Tony Kakkar’s response suggests the strategy might be the cringe. From there, we get into the anxiety of finishing beloved franchises: Stranger Things Season 5, Volume 2 lands with a lot of anticipation and not enough momentum. Then we pivot to the Bridgerton trailer, which is extremely Cinderella-coded. And finally, we talk about Pluribus. Hosted by Niharika Nanda, Aishwarya Khosla, & Shruti Kaushal Edited and Mixed by Suresh Pawar Produced by Niharika Nanda
