About this episode

In this jam-packed episode of Cyrus Says, comedians Punit Pania & Aakash Mehta join Cyrus to break down the wildest headlines of the week. We dive into Mahakumbh’s bizarre Rs 1100 virtual snan—because why wade into the Ganges when you have Wi-Fi? Then, IITian Baba’s failed cricket prophecy gets roasted after India’s epic win against Pakistan (someone tell him Kohli doesn’t read tweets). Speaking of cricket, Hardik Pandya’s rumored girlfriend, Jasmin Walia, steals the show off the field—because what’s a match without some off-pitch drama? Meanwhile, Farah Khan lands in legal soup over a Holi remark, and PM Modi rolls out a fresh financial boost for farmers. On the global front, Germany’s political winds shift as Friedrich Merz takes charge, and the U.S. sees a potential FBI shake-up with Kash Patel in the mix. Plus, an asteroid is heading toward Earth in 2032—don’t panic, Mumbai is safe (for now). Tune in for all this and more, with the usual mix of sharp wit and unfiltered banter!
