Cyrus Sahukar on MTV India, Cyrus Broacha, Shah Rukh Khan & Simi Garewal Spoof | Bani Anand | AAE S4

In this nostalgic episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, actor, comedian, and former MTV VJ Cyrus Sahukar joins Bani Anand for a no-holds-barred conversation that’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt. From stories of being a rebellious teen in Cyrus opens up about realising why the school system didn’t work for him, selling Tupperware and washing machines to make pocket money, and eventually finding his way into the world of media through voiceover gigs with Roshan Abbas. He recalls performing at Tihar Jail as part of a literacy initiative by Dr Kiran Bedi, and shares what it was like studying at St. Columba’s, the same school in which Shah Rukh Khan studied. The episode is filled with riotous anecdotes from Cyrus Sahukar's MTV days, including being “kidnapped” in an Omni van on his very first day (which turned out to be a prank for MTV Bakra). He hilariously narrates the time Broacha stole his wallet, made him deliver a love letter to Mini Mathur, and got him beaten up on set—all in the name of fun. Cyrus also recalls shooting the infamous spoof of Simi Garewal, which went viral and allegedly upset her.Beyond the laughs, Cyrus shares softer, more reflective moments—talking about falling in love with his now-wife after spotting her in a Mumbai bar, how Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poetry changed his view of love, and why he believes people don’t really change, they just evolve slightly. He also describes his encounter with A.P.J. Abdul Kalam at an airport.Working in BollywoodCyrus Sahukar discusses his roles in films like Aisha and Delhi 6, shares what it was like working with Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, and living next door to Om Puri, and offers hilarious observations about his opinionated driver, Mumbai traffic, and the bizarre things he’s witnessed.Cyrus Sahukar's favourite comediansThe conversation also dives into the present-day comedy scene, with mentions of Zakir Khan, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Kanan Gill, Sumukhi Suresh, and how sketch comedy faded post-AIB. Cyrus and Bani even play a fun game imagining what kind of absurd Simi Garewal-style questions they’d ask Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and even Shah Rukh Khan.(00:00) Episode begins (03:55) On his journey, starting out as a teenager, and school(06:56) Is Cyrus anti-establishment?(07:29) St. Columba's School and Shah Rukh Khan(09:04) On attending an all-boys' school(12:26) Working as a salesman and with Roshan Abbas(13:52) Working with Kiran Bedi(14:30) Performing in Tihar Jail(16:11) On working with MTV(16:59) On Mini Mathur and Cyrus Broacha’s crush(18:35) First time Cyrus ‘met’ Mini without actually meeting her(21:08) Was Cyrus Broacha in love with Mini?(21:36) On the world of MTV(22:37) Was Cyrus Broacha a bully?(24:10) On moving to Bombay and the traffic(25:53) On growing up in Delhi(27:00) Shooting Delhi 6(28:03) Story about his driver(30:00) Story about Cyrus Broacha(32:21) Getting kidnapped on his first day at MTV—on his birthday(37:51) On spoofing Simi Garewal(39:02) How shoots were organised back then(43:44) On sitcoms(45:10) On how everyone’s an influencer nowadays(48:51) On Joe Dispenza and meditation(51:29) On dogs(52:42) On animal whisperers(54:59) Story of the man with a bizarre farmhouse(57:14) Favourite places to travel within India(58:11) On Panchakarma(01:04:25) Do people change?(01:05:30) How Cyrus met his wife(01:10:17) Babying in relationships(01:12:13) Meeting A.P.J.
