Nani with Hrishi K - Shyam Singha Roy

hes so humble it hurts. he feels people come to hear the music and watch the film & not to hear him or watch him! this soft spoken sardar took my heart away and got my respect when i 1st interviewed him for his bollyood debut `udta punjab`. since then every film has meant a pre release interview for me with the warmest hugs / jhappis from diljit dosanjh thrown in. this is the 1st interview which we had to do online cuz he is in north america for a sold out series of concerts for his amazing ``born to shine` tour. watch jogi for diljit and ull realise what an instinctive, raw, untrained and a force of an actor he is. his words ring in my ear as he says to me again `satsri akal paaji , thank you, love you` post taping our interview. long live my dosanjhvaale diljit. heres to many more lilting grooving songs & superhit films my brother.

Diljit Dosanjh With Hrishi K - Jogi

mithila is indias sweetheart & she holds a special place in my heart because whenever ive asked her to do an interview or go insta live with me she has said yes in an instant. she also gives the nicest hugs when we meet in person and that smile of hers could melt a thousand hearts. dhruvs success as a writer, director and then at first reluctant actor has been admirable. their slice of life series called ``little things`` about a couple dhruv and kavya and their adorable sometimes beautiful sometimes bumpy relationship as endeared these two to the entire nation. from dice medias youtube channel, to netflix and now a pure audio version on audbible theyve spread their wings and they tell me exactly how much is by chance and how much by design. also i inspire them to reach for more and maybe do a stage / theatre version. this podcast is like their series - totally chilled. happy listening!

neil gaiman has a legion of fans and its difficult not to be in awe of the man who has written the kind of stuff he has written. novels, short fiction, graphic novels, non fiction, audio books and films. in this podcast he tells me what he grew up reading in wonderment as a boy, what draws him to audio books, his fascination for `the swamp thing` and his narration of `the sandman` which is a hugely popular audible series based on the book he wrote. i find it fascinating that his works draw from both fantasy and norse mythology and i do ask him at one point here in this session if he ever thought of drawing from indian mythology. pls do ahead and listen this is amazing stuff if ur a lover of books and stories!

Neil Gaiman With Hrishi K - The Sandman

`class` is made for ott and couldn’t be anywhere else! It’s smoulders and keeps burning like coal - and it ignites all our senses . For lovers of the original show I don’t know what you are feeling but I hadn’t seen `elite` . I came in expecting nothing and went out dazzled. The exploration of teen sexuality and experimentation, the visuals, drama and recreation of both sides of the train tracks - the ultra rich and the ultra poor. The rich kids aren’t even aware of any caste system - to them the poor are just one large lower caste . And the poor - well they go about segregating themselves and the poor kids sure know which caste they are in. The murder, the killing, the whodunnit, the drug culture (shake yourself up - it exists - and even in schools not just colleges and beyond ) were just portrayed the way they should be - real and gritty. Guys like rajesh devraj & kersi khambatta and are master writers who understand the underbelly as well as the upper echelons of society which is why the writing is so good . ashim ahluwalia was always a director who’s work was provocative and he’s pushed the ante on this one. The kids have all worked themselves hard. anjali sivaraman, piyush khati, madhyama segal, naina b, gurfateh pirzada, cwaayal singh are amazing and really this series once it releases will see the birth of some stars - some might even become overnight sensations. There are a bunch of cinematographers who’ve worked on ‘class’ - one of them is tapan basu who shot `kahani` - one of my favourite franchises. The look and feel of both the high society kids and their dwellings juxtaposed with the slum kids and their dwellings is something I loved. The series is streaming on netflix now so go watch!🤩 and here are director ashim & co producer niharika singh on this podcast with me reliving the making of class with me.

saif ali khan is gung ho about his first pure audio project. he lends his voice to marvel`s wastelanders : star-lord on audible. an incredible audio drama which is born out of the marvel cinematic universe and then some more. his peter quill is an aging superhero out in the winderness ably followed around by his sidekick `rocket` voice acted by vrajesh hirjee. with saif, conversations are always well rounded & intelligent given that he is so well read & well travelled. his favourite stephen fry podcast is what he tells me about & i reply with my own favourite cricket podcast featuring stephen fry & stuart broad. from marvels superheroes to norse mythology to reading bedtime stories to his kids & then ofcourse the possibility of sharing voice acting space with his wife kareena who is scheduled to voice `black widow` in the upcoming 'marvel`s wastelanders : black widow' audio drama ... all of this comes within our ambit of discussion. and who would saif ali khans all time favourite voice be? listen to this super podcast to find out!

Saif Ali Khan With Hrishi K - Marvel's Wastelanders : Star-Lord On Audible

the world of audio dramas is getting steamier. kareena kapoor khan voice acts as helen black aka the black widow immortalised on screen by the incredible scarlett johannson! she tells me this is a 1st - diving head ( or voice ) first into a full length audio series. marvel`s wastelanders : black widow also has masaba gupta playing lisa cartwright who is sent to monitor / keep a surveillance check on helen & that means so much to masaba who only started taking baby steps into an acting and now voice career a few years ago. kareena also addresses the juicy possibility of saif & her voice acting together in a future episode of marvel`s wastelanders.. fingers crossed! i love her telling me that her elder son taimur is already being exposed to the world of podcasts & audio. yaay. enjoy my chat with these ladies who undoubtedly sound as good as they look!

Kareena Kapoor & Masaba Gupta With Hrishi K - Marvel's Wastelanders:Black Widow On Audible

sunil grover is a dear friend & satish shah a legend whom i was meeting for the very first time. they both greeted me with equal warmth which is saying a lot about mr shah as a human being. sunil is still the wonderful, telented, unassuming man i knew from back when he 1st moved here from punjab & mr shahs image of guffawing in series like yeh jo hai zindagi & sarabhai vs sarabhai lit up my childhood & youth. their series `inited kacche` directed by a brit punjabi called manav shah (i was surprised cuz `shah` is such a gujarati surname) talks about people who come to the UK with a tourist visa & stay on as illegal workers & the entire eco system of fixers, agents, flat owners, tenants who sublet etc. now u would think its such a serious subject but thats where this series on zee 5 scores - it looks at everything through the lens of humour. real life scoops - satish shah tells me how he dealt with a racist comment directed at him in heathrow airport london - with total dignity & a quick wit. sunil grover tells me about how he almost got married off as an eligible punjabi settled in canada ! enjoy this wholesome interview & tell me what u think.

a working single moms world turns upside down when her inquisitive son demands a new papa on a 30 day `trial period`. now just think of that premise! wow. and when u have the eternally cute genelia playing the young single mum u know shes gonna keep it real and fun. i love that genelia tells me she ONLY wants to play mothers on screen now cuz she feels most comfortable in the position..... being a mother of two in real life. aleya sen is an ad film maker of repute with chrome pictures & her 1st feature as director was dil junglee post which she produced the superhit Badhai Ho. lovely banter this - we traverse from genelias scooter driving skills & manavs early days in mumbai when he came from MP to make a career for himself to the brilliant gajaraj rao who has a crucial role in this series, to aleya herself who has straddled motherhood and work which made her want to tell this story. trial period is streaming on the jiocinema app & is less than 2 hours in length - which is what i call a breezy watch! just like this interview

Raell Padamsee & Lushin Dubey With Hrishi K - 20 Yrs Of Create Foundation & Festival Of Womens Plays

neeraj pandey has an entire industry full of actors and i suspect that includes a fair share of actors from abroad too - who are ever willing to work with him. his grasp of the action, thriller drama is unprecedented in the modern era. as anupam kher and me joked - all the actors walk with a lilt, a certain brisk pace in a neeraj pandey film. his protegie bhav dhulia who directed the netflix series `khakee` directs this one but neerajs watchful eye as creator & showrunner is stamped all over `the freelancer` the series on disney plus hotstar. mohit raina is terrific as a wasted cop turned mercenary who has a renewed mission in life. kashmira pardeshi is the surprise as the girl who is house imprisoned in syria by the family thats shes married into. anupam kher is so at ease as a regular collaborator in a pandey franchise that hes effortless as analyst khan. i loved the furious pace of it and if international terror and espionage and action thrillers is ur thing this is manna from heaven for you. exotic mediterranean and european locales thrown in for equal measure and some dynamic, slick international quality action choreography. bravo neeraj and team. now enjoy my indepth interview with mohit, neeraj and mr kher!

this is the epitome of laid back and chill...this interview. with no impending release to promote it just ended up being about the gorgeous tara sutarias life & times. her homage to tushna dallas her late ballet teacher & taras own advice to fearful parents, encouraging them to get their kids to learn ballet. her tryst with kathak to discover her desi side. her bond with her twin sister who now runs a ballet school herself & how the sutarias would run off the london during the summer to do workshops, courses and more at the `Royal Academy Of Dance`. the idea is for the sutaria girls now to holiday in italy together & discover places like Amalfi Coast. was it, is it ever uncomfortable ? being constantly asked about her love life ... in interviews, at press conferences & even at airports!? and tara has just the most lovely sorted answer to that question. watch on to know more about this smouldering `scorpio who self reflects` (in taras own words) and yes i for one wish her luck in starting that jazz bar that serves the most divine food & also has a jazz band playing every evening (including her on vocals atleast once a week! )

Laura Karpman (Music Composer) with Hrishi K - The Marvels

the series doesnt have any major names but the fact that they would take cyber crime expert amit dubeys book & turn it into a potent force i felt deserved a careful & close looksee. parmeet sethi directs `hack crimes online` on amogh dusads platform amazon mini tv & it is produced by shital bhatia from friday filmworks & acted in, with great proficiency by vipul gupta. i had to get the four of them together to have this detailed chat. their aim apart from entertain is to clearly give the common man red flags on how people are being looted via social media, the banking sector & nearly every online platform that people are gravitating towards. the hacker is everywhere waiting to prey on our fear, our ignorance & our inherent greed. the idea is to be informed & aware & this show & indeed this interview goes a long way in trying to effect change. listen to this podcast & watch the series & pls do tell me what u think.

what an enjoyable coming of age movie that put a smile on all our faces. some genz issues & some deep rooted abuse issues also dealt with in a healthy positive manner & a trio who we couldnt have imagined in a moive together till producers & co writers zoya akhtar and reema kagti made it happen! zoyas directors assistant from the epic `gully boy` arjun varain singh directs this one and im so happy that excel (farhan akhtar & ritesh sidhwanis film production company) & tiger baby ( reema & zoyas production house ) are constantly believing in new talent & giving them serious big opportunities. the performances by sid, ananya and adarsh are top notch. anya singh as the influencer & kalki as the photographer are terrific. go watch it on netflix and tell me what u think of my interview with this bunch here.

my wife swears by rujuta diwekar & in our house the reverence that rujutas food thery, concepts & practicies have been taught to us for years via aanchal (my wife) so even though i had never met rujuta i felt i knew her for a decade atleast! even then there was so much to talk about. im constantly encouraging people to deep dive into the wonderful world of pure audio and im thrilled when i meet another new adopter. rujutas podcast on audible is called `secrets of good health` season 2. and in it she debunks food myths and clears misconceptions. i asked her about advocating our grandmothers cooking & recipes, regular eating out at restaurants in the modern era becoming a social activity, intermittent fasting fad or truth?, her farming and organic food growing and eating program in rural maharashtra in sonave and so much more and she had clear answers for all - she identifies problems and then clearly goes about solving them. shes definitely and without a doubt the sharpest mind in nutrition today and definitely one of the most knowledgeable. happy listening to this intervew!

Rujuta Diwekar With Hrishi K - Secrets Of Good Health Season 2 (Audible)

Gaurav Banerjee has always impressed me with his eloquence at press conferences & trailer launches. considering the terrific year that disney plus hotstar have had in terms of content i simply had to get him in for an interview. he is passionate about animation as.a category and a big believer in creating a robust multilingual content catalog. the respect he has for cinema and series' emanating out of the southern states is also something i found very heartening. unscripted content like `big boss` & `koffee with karan` plus thrilling original series like `special ops` & `lootere` get him going and his team and him have made it the cornerstones of their sucess story. i loved that he gave some time to sport - in particular football & this years t20 world cup in the US plus the `Marvel` catalogue and international titles and series that gen z is tripping on. gauravs nostalgia at having studied radio as part of his post graduate film and communications course was apparent the moment he walked into studio and soaked in the ambience! happy listening.

this is an annual ritual for us. tanya bami series head netflix india and me to sit down at the beginning of a calendar year after netflix india has announced its slate for whats coming up and do a deep dive. shes most kicked about the comedy genre and in all honesty netflix doesnt get enough kudos for its work in the genre. `mamla legal hai` was a runaway hit and tanya announces a brand new season & the fact that 192 countries cant get enough of `the great indian kapil show` is there for all of us to see. from bollywood to cricket theyve got all the bumper guests and the return of sunil grover. im excited by the prospect of sanjay leela bhansali as well as yashraj films and excel entertainment bringing their vision to netflix. `dabba cartel` & `ic 814 the kandahar hijack` seem like shows i will binge into. tanyas very clear that old favourites like `kota factory`, `mismatched` and `fabulous lives` had to come back with fresh seasons - such was the clamour amongst subscribers / members. ive know tanya professionally since her wizcraft days and personally too because both her kids and both my kids were in the same school - our younger ones in the same class, total besties. and ive known her to always be gracious with her time and taking feedback from me and a host of other journalists. she has her antennae up and her ears to the ground which is what makes her and that other powerhouse of a lady at Netflix India, Monika Shergill so special. the service / platform is lucky to have them and i continue to enjoy every minute spent picking their brain or chatting with them. happy listening!

Hrishi K with Sunny Deol, Karan Deol & Sahher Bambba-Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas

I’m a Radio & Podcast Producer plus Host, Voice Over Artiste / Voice Actor & MC. These sessions are conversations with people whom I find very interesting. Either their personality or their work / cause shines through & in most cases both! Most whos celebrity value amongst Indians or internationally cannot be questioned, some who have risen to the occasion & despite personal & professional pressure have shown the light to us. Some speak on very relevant & topical themes, others speak about their lives in a manner that shall make sense even if we hear this decades from now. I try to listen more than I speak & ask relevant questions based on a combination of my laborious research & study on them or the theme they are covering plus elements of my own intuition about them that come to the fore as the conversation unfolds. I pray you enjoy these as much as I did creating them for you, my guests & for me!
