Welcome to Cyrus Says!
This conversation starts with a forgotten Indian entrepreneur who built three empires and ends with Cyrus touching elephant poop. We're not kidding.
Author Tejaswini Apte reveals the untold story of her great-grandfather Tatya Sahib, who went from a chawl in Girgaon to a sea-facing Peddar Road mansion by mastering textiles, producing 100+ silent films with Dadasaheb Phalke, and revolutionizing India's sugar industry.
Then she casually pulls out a children's book about animal feces with a bookmark made from actual elephant and rhino poop. Chaos ensues!

India's Forgotten Startup King & His Descendant's Poop Book! ft. Tejaswini Apte-Rahm

Abbas Momin is back, and Cyrus wastes absolutely no time, fat shaming him within the first 40 seconds. Classic. It's also Abbas's 38th birthday, which he's celebrating the way all single men approaching 40 do: a movie with two friends and zero romance prospects. We're basically his therapy session at this point.

This week we tackle the big stuff, RCB selling for ₹16,000 crore (Vijay Mallya is somewhere crying into his beer), a Pune eatery taking on world peace one LPG surcharge at a time, and Dhurandar 2, which Abbas sat through for four hours and lived to regret. Ranveer Singh is shirtless. Sanjay Dutt points at his crotch. You've been warned.

Also on the menu: 46,000 mangrove trees, Mohamed Salah's Liverpool farewell, a Statue of Liberty in Jalandhar wearing a saree, and Abbas accidentally revealing his Grindr situation on a podcast that his family definitely watches.

Happy birthday, Abbas. This is the worst gift we could give you. You're welcome.

Drones, Spies & World War Fears?! | Dr. Sanket Kulkarni | Defence Analyst

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!
