Cyrus Says

Kunal Kapoor on Rang De Basanti, Flying Planes & Life Beyond Bollywood!

Welcome to Cyrus Says!This week, Cyrus is joined by Shreemi Verma lawyer-turned-Bollywood insider, pop culture commentator, and full-time chaos enthusiast.

What starts as a sensible conversation about her journey from law school to celebrity media quickly spirals into PR politics, rumor economics, casting gossip, film snobbery, and the strange ecosystem that keeps Bollywood ticking.

They bounce between on-set realities, internet outrage cycles, nostalgia for peak filmi drama, and why the industry runs on vibes, speculation, and very strategic silence.

It’s fast, opinionated, mildly controversial, and absolutely uninterested in behaving.If you’re looking for carefully packaged diplomacy, this is not it.

If you enjoy strong takes, industry tea, and conversations that zigzag without warning welcome home.And to our regular listeners, welcome back home.
