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

If you’re looking for structured interviews and safe answers, this is not it.
If you enjoy honest conversations, industry insights, and a little madness along the way, welcome home.

And to our regular listeners… welcome back home!
