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
