Welcome to Cyrus Says.

Playback legend Shaan drops by for what was supposed to be a conversation about music, MTV, Bollywood, playback singing, and three decades of surviving the entertainment industry. Instead, Cyrus and the gang spend an alarming amount of time debating whether a crow can be your best friend, whether it's your reincarnated father, and whether pizza is an acceptable bird diet.

Once everyone (sort of) regains composure, Shaan takes us through the golden age of MTV, the birth of Indipop, how Shantanu Mukherjee mysteriously became Shaan, unforgettable stories about Biddu, Bappi Lahiri, Sonu Nigam, touring across India, music royalties, mimicry, and why being famous doesn't stop random people from requesting the same song you literally just sang.

Expect nostalgia, absolute nonsense, music history, inside Bollywood stories, terrible jokes that somehow get worse with age (much like Cyrus), and two old friends reminding each other why the 90s should never have been documented.

Featuring:
🎙️ Shaan (Shantanu Mukherjee) – Playback singer, television host, composer and one of India's most loved voices.

Warning: No crows were harmed during this recording.

Welcome to Cyrus Says!

In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus sits down with Agu Stanley for a hilarious, unpredictable, and surprisingly layered conversation about moving from Nigeria to India, learning Hindi in Lucknow, studying pharmacy, content creation, internet fame, cultural identity, and life between two worlds. What starts as a chat about Agu’s name, languages, physique, and viral presence quickly turns into a wild ride through Nigerian politics, Indian racism, Gurgaon relationships, arranged marriage pressure, Bollywood ads, basketball, boxing, nightlife, and why surviving in India and Nigeria both require serious hustle.

The episode also explores Agu’s rise from pharmacy student to multilingual creator to actor, with stories about Lucknow, hostel life, a major breakup, learning Hindi through friendship, doing ads with stars, moving into films, and navigating the absurdity of public attention. With Cyrus constantly derailing the conversation into sports, culture, class, race, and relationships, this becomes a funny but revealing episode about identity, ambition, and what it means to belong in more than one place at once.

This week on Cyrus Says: Cock & Bull, Cyrus Broacha is joined by comedians Punit Pania and Kautuk Srivastava for an hour of hilarious conversations that go absolutely everywhere.

From Mumbai's confusing roads and airport signboards to gym etiquette, civic sense, football fandom, Ronaldo vs Messi, the FIFA World Cup, cricket, politics and everyday Indian habits nothing is off limits.

Expect plenty of jokes, wild observations and classic Cock & Bull banter as the trio turn everyday situations into comedy.
If you enjoy unscripted conversations, stand-up comics and topical humour, this episode is for you.
