Welcome to Cyrus Says!
In this episode, Cyrus Broacha hangs out with actor, producer, and pro Panja evangelist Parvin Dabbas… and what starts as a normal conversation quickly turns into a deep dive into Bollywood chaos, sports leagues, and the strange art of surviving the entertainment industry.
They jump from Parvin’s acting journey and behind-the-scenes Bollywood stories to building the Pro Panja League, the business of sports in India, and why panja might just be cooler than cricket (controversial, we know). Along the way, expect detours into fitness, discipline, industry struggles, and the kind of practical wisdom that only comes from doing everything yourself.
It’s insightful, funny, slightly chaotic, and occasionally feels like a TED Talk that forgot to stay serious.
This episode covers:
Parvin Dabbas’ Bollywood journey & acting career
The rise of Pro Panja League & Indian sports business
Behind-the-scenes film industry stories
Fitness, discipline & mental toughness
Entrepreneurship in entertainment & sports
Random Cyrus-level chaos you didn’t see coming
