Abbas Tyrewala on Writing Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, Directing Jaane Tu... & his bond with Vishal Bhardwaj

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.

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. The conversation moves from how politicians are actually briefed, how media planning works inside government, and what VIP protocol really means, to the strange, funny, and revealing realities of Indian bureaucracy. 

The episode also dives into Ajay Ambekar’s new board game, Election Tamasha, a politically incorrect, satire-driven game based on Indian elections, dirty politics, factions, corruption, and the absurdity of power. 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.
