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

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode of, Cyrus is joined by Rochelle Pinto, Head of Editorial Content at Vogue India, for a wildly entertaining conversation that moves from fashion, weddings, journalism, media, and celebrity culture to bizarre college stories, old-school editing rooms, and what it really takes to shape taste in modern India.

Rochelle opens up about her unusual journey, from being a child RJ in Goa and a teenage journalist, to interviewing gangsters, surviving the brutal discipline of old-school newsrooms, writing sharp fashion commentary, and eventually rising through the ranks to lead editorial content at Vogue India. The episode also dives into the Vogue Wedding Atelier, the Met Gala, celebrity style, print vs digital media, and why fashion should be bold, fun, and never boring.

Funny, fast, and packed with personality, this is a terrific episode on media, style, and storytelling.

Comedian Punit Pania joins Cyrus for a chaotic and hilarious conversation covering everything from Bengal politics and Vijay’s political rise to Mumbai’s legendary spitting culture and Sindhi stereotypes.

The episode dives into political commentary around Mamata Banerjee, BJP expansion, TVK’s rise, governor controversies, and the future of opposition politics in India, all mixed with classic Cyrus banter and Puneet’s dry humour.

They also discuss Mumbai’s civic sense problem, why Indians spit everywhere, littering culture, local trains, stand-up comedy touring life, language loss among Sindhis, papad stereotypes, and bizarre marriage/ferris wheel hypotheticals.

Expect sharp political satire, observational comedy, and absolute nonsense in equal measure.
