Manav Kaul: From Swimming Medals to Acting in Bollywood, Selling Floppies & His Latest OTT Release

Shamik Chakrabarti returns to Cyrus Says after performing across Europe and Australia, with stories about international comedy audiences, Melbourne’s little penguins and life on tour.

Cyrus and Shamik then move through a suitably unpredictable collection of stories: AI replacing workers and potentially CEOs, Bengal and Durga Puja, Navratri memories, Indian politics, population numbers, restaurant inspections, Liverpool fandom, unusual international competitions and Cyrus’ story about working with Preity Zinta.

Shamik also plugs his upcoming India tour before Cyrus ends the episode by turning the interview into an interrogation about his dating life.

It’s travel, current affairs, football, technology and complete studio chaos, in other words, another episode of Cock and Bull.
