    Gravity on Jalaluddin, MTV Hustle, Losing His Father & Samantha Prabhu | Bani Anand | AAE S4 | Bani Anand | AAE S4
    Jul 25 2025
    In this gripping episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, rapper Gravity—best known for his explosive performance of ‘Jalaluddin’ on MTV Hustle—sits down with Bani Anand to share his journey from being a struggling underground artist to becoming one of the most respected names in Indian hip-hop.When Gravity performed JalaluddinGravity opens up about the overwhelming response to ‘Jalaluddin’, a song that went viral and became synonymous with his name. He recounts how the lyrics came to him during a train journey after visiting his parents. The now-iconic line—“Duniya ko maine kaha get down on your knees, main Jalaluddin”—wasn’t the result of endless rewrites but pure instinct and flow. He wanted to write something that made people feel powerful, and he did just that.Gravity on MTV HustleWhen talking about MTV Hustle Season 2, Gravity calls it “life before and after” for many artists like himself, King, and others. Despite already being somewhat established, Gravity auditioned for Hustle to prove himself to a wider audience and to shed the underground tag. His decision was met with scepticism, but it paid off in ways that changed his trajectory completely.How does Gravity write his songs?The conversation moves into his songwriting process—how Gravity writes songs in 15–20 minutes when inspiration strikes, how he moved from writing without beats to working beat-first, and how the melody embedded in his rap helps him retain lyrics on stage. He also shares candid thoughts about fellow rapper Hanumankind, revealing their mutual respect and chemistry, and even a quirky detail: Hanumankind does 100 push-ups before every performance.Gravity's childhood and relationship with his fatherGravity also reflects on his childhood, growing up in modest conditions. His father ran a paan shop, where young Akshay (his real name) would observe customers and their behaviours—lessons that later informed his understanding of human nature and helped shape his lyrical voice. He shares a moving story about how, despite a distant and disciplined relationship, Gravity's father silently expressed pride in him by showing off his published article in Mumbai Mirror to shop customers.He also speaks about Samantha Ruth Prabhu, who once shared a photo of him along with his track Jalaluddin that helped her during a dark period. Toward the end on the interview, Gravity opens up about what he looks forward to: releasing insane music, dropping his upcoming project Bombay Trilogy, and dreaming bigger with every step. He also shares how he unwinds after the chaos of the music world—by cooking and relaxing with friends.(00:00) Episode begins (2:23) Reactions to ‘Jalaluddin’(2:58) How is he feeling today?(4:10) On MTV Hustle(5:30) How Gravity views Hustle as a platform(7:22) On King and his journey(8:24) On songs from Hustle Season 2(8:45) Writing ‘Jalaluddin’(11:25) On writing songs quickly(11:58) On Hanumankind(12:39) One thing we don’t know about Hanumankind(13:05) Does Gravity forget lyrics on stage?(14:19) Where does his inspiration come from?(15:46) Has hip-hop evolved the way it should?(16:38) Is there money in hip-hop?(18:22) What’s common between Akshay and Gravity?(20:38) On heartbreak(23:44) Does disrespect fuel his art?(25:26) His relationship with his father(27:58) How important is his father’s validation?(31:56) On losing his father(33:26) On being detached(35:17) Lessons learnt post-Hustle(38:48) On beefs in the Indian hip-hop scene(42:12) Gravity's top five rappers(45:53) On Samantha Ruth Prabhu(48:19) His new project ‘Bombay Bazar’(51:07) Does manifestation work for him?(55:44) How does he unwind AfterHours?(56:38) GameFollow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#gravity #jalaluddin #mtvhustle #hustle #hustle2 #mtvhustle4 #mtvhustleshow #hiphop #indianhiphop #hiphopmusic #interview #dhh #podcast #grav #king #kinggrav

    Why Young People Are Getting Heart Attacks | COVID, Stress, Gym Deaths | Dr Rahul Chandola | Bani Anand | AAE S4
    Jul 18 2025
    Heart attacks in the 30s and 40s used to be unheard of, so why are more and more young people dying of cardiac ailments now? In this episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, host Bani Anand is joined by Dr Rahul Chandola, one of India’s leading cardiothoracic surgeons, for a much-needed conversation around the epidemic of heart disease, particularly among young people.With over two decades of experience and more than 1,000 open-heart surgeries for underprivileged patients, Dr Chandola brings clarity, compassion, and hard facts to a topic often clouded by myths and misinformation.The Link Between COVID And Heart AttacksDr Chandola explains how individuals who had COVID are at a significantly higher risk of developing atherosclerosis (plaque formation in the arteries of the heart), with effects that can last up to 18 months. He also clears up common misconceptions around whether vaccines increase the risk of heart attacks.Stress, Lifestyle & Corporate Burnout:We examine the link between mental health and cardiac health. Why are high-performing, driven professionals more prone to heart attacks? Dr Chandola clarifies that it’s not ambition itself, but unmanaged stress and sedentary habits that pose the real danger.Preventive Heart Screenings for the Young:Should you have your heart screened before turning 40? If you have a family history, high stress levels, or chronic anxiety, the answer is a resounding YES.Nutrition Then vs Now:Are we eating our way to heart disease? Discover the stark difference between traditional Indian diets and today’s processed, packaged, and fried food culture. Dr Chandola also weighs in on the ongoing debate: vegetarianism vs non-vegetarianism, alcohol vs smoking—what truly harms your heart more?New-Age Medical Technology & Real-Time Heart Monitoring:Dr Chandola introduces us to cutting-edge wearable biosensors—like wireless ECG patches—that stream heart data to the cloud in real time. These innovations are poised to transform early detection, insurance structures, and personalised cardiac care.On Broken Heart Syndrome & Human Emotion:The episode concludes on a powerful note. Dr Chandola sheds light on Broken Heart Syndrome—a real cardiac condition caused by intense emotional trauma, such as the loss of a loved one.(00:00) Episode Begins(02:00) Explaining the rise in heart disease(03:27) What is atherogenesis?(05:25) How has nutrition changed over the years?(07:08) Are ambitious people more at risk?(08:35) Does COVID raise heart attack risk?(09:51) Did COVID vaccines lead to more heart issues?(11:40) Why are young people having heart attacks?(13:16) Early warning signs of a heart attack(15:55) Why are people getting heart attacks at the gym?(17:21) Should young people have heart check-ups?(18:31) Traditional diets vs modern nutrition(20:55) Smoking vs drinking – which is worse?(22:14) Is alcohol safe for heart health?(23:45) Vegetarian vs non-vegetarian – what’s better for the heart?(24:54) Latest technology for heart monitoring(33:13) How tech could affect insurance(34:13) Why Dr Chandola chooses to serve society(38:29) When doctors were seen as gods(39:53) The value of giving back(42:01) A heartbreaking story from a health camp(49:21) Connecting patients and donors(50:45) The state of healthcare in India(54:16) Thoughts on heart transplants(55:00) How organ donation works in India(58:02) His first heart transplant experience(58:51) On Grey’s Anatomy(01:00:21) Risks of self-medicating(01:04:45) How Dr Chandola unwinds AfterHours(01:06:25) What is Broken Heart Syndrome?Follow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#heartattack #heartdisease #heartpatients #heartproblems #heartattackawareness #brokenheart #covid #covidvaccine #covid19

  • Kavya Trehan On Zeenat Aman, Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter And The Royals | Bani Anand | AAE S4

    Kavya Trehan On Zeenat Aman, Bhumi Pednekar, Ishaan Khatter And The Royals | Bani Anand | AAE S4
    Jul 11 2025
    'The Royals' has been a royal rage on Netflix. And we caught up with Kavya Trehan who plays the delightful Princess Jinnie. In the latest episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, actor and musician Kavya Trehan opens up about life after the success of *The Royals*—a show that not only introduced her to a wider audience but also marked a pivotal shift in how she is now perceived as both an actor and an artist. Kavya delves into the emotional and creative journey of becoming Jinnie—a vibrant, multi-layered, and quietly complex character. From keeping a diary in Jinnie’s voice to using fashion as a key tool in character-building, she shares how she envisioned Jinnie as a shapeshifter—bubbly on the surface, but concealing a deeper, more introspective side. She also discusses the responsibility of portraying a queer character, particularly with a strong LGBTQIA+ following for her music, and how she approached the role with sincerity and care, avoiding stereotypes. Her on-screen dynamic with co-star Lisa Mishra, who played her love interest, developed naturally over the course of filming—something Kavya believes added real intimacy and truth to their scenes.What Zeenat Aman told Kavya Trehan about loveIn this interview, Kavya also shares thoughtful insights about her co-actors—Ishaan Khattar’s discipline, Bhumi Pednekar’s warmth and generosity, and a particularly poignant moment with the iconic Zeenat Aman. Kavya shares how a simple question from Zeenat Aman shifted her entire understanding of love, support, and emotional safety within relationships.Beyond The Royals, Kavya offers an intimate glimpse into her inner world. She reflects on her spiritual evolution—how she moved from being a devout atheist to identifying as agnostic. No longer viewing belief through a transactional lens, she now associates faith with possibility, free will, and self-belief. This shift was guided, in part, by The Artist’s Way, a book that introduced her to manifestation, journalling, solitude, and daily rituals.Kavya Trehan's musicMusic remains central to who she is. Kavya gives viewers a peek into her current playlist full of bold, high-energy tracks and talks about the intentional music choices she made while preparing for Jinnie, from K-pop and Bossa Nova to French ballads. When Kavya auditioned for The RoyalsShe also shares the story behind her audition for The Royals, which began in English before being adapted into Hindi. Fluent in French as well, Kavya brought those nuances into the performance, especially as Jinnie’s character had a French boyfriend in the show.

    Asha Negi on Pavitra Rishta, Ekta Kapoor, Criminal Justice & Pankaj Tripathi | Bani Anand | AAE S4
    Jul 5 2025
    From Dehradun to Mumbai, from pageants to becoming a household name on Indian television, Asha Negi’s journey has been anything but ordinary. In this episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, hosted by Bani Anand, Asha opens up about the hustle, heartbreak, self-discovery, and second chances that shaped her career and identity.Winning Miss Uttarakhand gave Asha the confidence to move to Mumbai, despite her family’s initial hesitation. But her early struggles in Mumbai and navigating auditions and rejections led to a period of self-doubt. Asha's first major break came with Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, a pivotal moment where she worked alongside television icons Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar.The reality of the casting couch in TVAsha speaks openly about the casting couch, sharing the difficult truths many young actors face. She emphasises the importance of setting boundaries, staying grounded, and never letting desperation override one’s self-respect.Working with Ekta Kapoor and moving to OTTAsha also shares her admiration for Ekta Kapoor, admitting she was initially intimidated by her. But over time, she discovered the warmth and humour behind Ekta’s powerful image. It was Ekta who gave Asha one of her biggest opportunities, and Asha credits much of her success and recognition to the world of Pavitra Rishta that Ekta built.As the industry shifted from traditional television to OTT platforms, Asha had to adapt and reinvent herself. She speaks about the difference between “TV Asha” and “OTT Asha,” and how attending acting workshops helped her unlearn theatrical habits and embrace more nuanced, internalised performances.Criminal Justice and working with Mohd Zeeshan AyyubAsha Negi's work on Criminal Justice marked another phase of growth. Though her role was brief, collaborating with actors like Zeeshan Ayyub and Pankaj Tripathi was transformative. Asha describes Zeeshan’s humility and natural brilliance, and how Pankaj Tripathi’s calm and grounded energy left a lasting impression.This podcast also delves into her personal life—her experiences navigating the casting couch, the importance of drawing boundaries, her perspective on nepotism, and the societal pressure to marry. Asha Negi’s story is a powerful reminder that growth takes time, courage, and constant reinvention. Whether you’re an aspiring actor, a long-time fan of Pavitra Rishta, or simply trying to find your way—this episode will move and inspire you.Timestamps:(00:00) Episode begins(03:30) Winning Miss Uttarakhand(05:17) Persuading her parents to let her move to Mumbai(07:49) Asha Negi's first audition(09:08) First television role in Sapno Se Bhare Naina(10:20) On Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, Ram Kapoor & Sakshi Tanwar(13:19) On Pavitra Rishta(15:19) The influence of beauty pageants(20:08) Feeling like a misfit in the industry(23:44) How women can protect themselves from the casting couch(25:47) Her experience with the casting couch(29:01) What she learnt from Ekta Kapoor(30:50) Still recognised as Purvi from Pavitra Rishta(31:44) Popularity on television vs. OTT(32:44) Award show experiences(35:01) Working with Ankita Lokhande(35:26) On Sushant Singh Rajput(36:12) Asha's work with Hiten Tejwani(37:37) Does television pay well?(38:20) On Criminal Justice and Pankaj Tripathi(39:15) Acting alongside Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub(40:37) Transitioning from ‘TV Asha’ to ‘OTT Asha’(45:30) Growing from her 20s to her 30s(50:37) Insecurity and self-doubt in her 20s(52:26) Cringing at old performances(55:04) How Asha Negi unwinds AfterHours(56:46) On Criminal Justice(57:55) Would she ever go on Bigg Boss?(59:03) GameFollow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Facebook: / allaboutevein Pinterest: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#pankajtripathi #ektakapoor #ashanegi #pavitrarishta #pavitrarishtashorts #dailysoap #indiandrama #podcast #interview #allabouteve #podcasting

  • From Neta App to Masters' Union: Pratham Mittal on Education, Business, Nitin Kamath & Elon Musk

    From Neta App to Masters' Union: Pratham Mittal on Education, Business, Nitin Kamath & Elon Musk
    Jun 27 2025
    In this thought-provoking episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, hosted by Bani Anand, entrepreneur Pratham Mittal opens up about his unique journey, his philosophy on work and life, and the hard-earned lessons that have shaped his career. Growing up in Jalandhar, surrounded by a community where entrepreneurship was part of his daily life, Pratham shares how early exposure to business conversations — from trading to profit-making — instilled in him a natural curiosity for building and innovating.The conversation delves into his key takeaways from building start-ups, including his experience with the Neta App — a platform designed to rate politicians, which taught him powerful lessons about behaviour change, technology, and the challenges of trying to bring accountability into India’s political landscape. He speaks candidly about the reality of seeing a promising idea struggle because it required too great a shift in people’s fundamental behaviours.Pratham also discusses the myth of product versus service businesses. He admits that, for years, he pursued the allure of product companies, believing service businesses were less scalable or impactful.Throughout the interview, Bani and Pratham delve into deeper questions: What percentage of success is due to luck, intelligence, hard work, or critical thinking? How do entrepreneurs create their own luck? And what is the balance between delusion and vision when attempting world-changing ideas like Elon Musk’s?Pratham also speaks passionately about education — his current area of focus through the Master's Union — and why he believes schools and universities need to shift from merely teaching and testing to genuinely nurturing young minds. In one of the most inspiring moments of the interview, Pratham shares his experience of meeting Zerodha’s Nithin Kamath — a reminder that humility is often a defining trait of the most successful people. He recalls how Nitin Kamath responded to a cold WhatsApp message, invited him for a meeting, and treated him with respect and genuine curiosity.The podcast also touches on privilege, failure, and the value of setbacks in developing resilience. Pratham reflects on how his time at boarding school and enduring difficult periods in business helped him build humility and self-awareness. They also discuss how everyone born with privilege should face at least one major setback to gain perspective on life.Finally, Pratham opens up about what gives his life meaning today — his commitment to transforming education, his nightly routines, and how he unwinds AfterHours. He shares what inspires him: the visionary leadership of figures such as Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who transformed Dubai from a struggling state into a global centre of progress and innovation.(00:00) Episode begins(3:14) Why he doesn’t work with his family(4:33) What Jalandhar taught him about business(7:18) Business ideas he wishes he’d thought of(9:07) Product vs service business(10:43) Hammerhead shark story(14:02) We crashed, and the delusion needed for success(16:00) Purpose of life and Elon Musk(17:57) The pressure of always being ‘on’(21:23) How much does luck matter?(23:14) Creating your own luck(24:27) What is critical thinking?(25:55) Lakshmi and Saraswati's story(29:29) His worst experience as an entrepreneur(35:34) How the Neta App was hacked(37:52) Boarding school grounding and a Bollywood actor’s story(41:40) How he ensures students are equipped for life(42:21) Why schools fail to nurture(46:39) Humility in success + Nithin Kamath story(49:20) ‘First builds it, second grows it, third loses it’(52:47) Business family vs family business(55:14) On being detached(58:12) Outgrowing parents as an entrepreneur(58:39) On heroes and role models(1:06:33) How he unwinds AfterHoursFollow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Facebook: / allaboutevein Pinterest: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/

  • Shriya Pilgaonkar on Mirzapur, Dancing with Shah Rukh Khan, & Working with Bhuvan Bam | Bani Anand

    Shriya Pilgaonkar on Mirzapur, Dancing with Shah Rukh Khan, & Working with Bhuvan Bam | Bani Anand
    Jun 20 2025
    In this episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, Bani Anand sits down with Shriya Pilgaonkar to talk about how life shifts when you move from your twenties into your thirties. Shriya explains how she used to follow social media checklists for validation and how she’s more confident now, sets clear boundaries, and tackles problems early. From playing Sweety in Mirzapur to landing a part in Fan through surprise auditions, she shows how hard work, practice, and a dash of good timing can help build a lasting career.Looking back on her twenties, Shriya recalls staying in tough or awkward situations because she thought she’d learn from them. Now, she knows when to speak up and when to walk away. She also admits that she used to play the “saviour” in her relationships and tried fixing her partner’s problems. But since then, she has learnt the value of asking for what she needs, which has brought more balance and honesty to her love life.When it comes to romance, Shriya maps her journey from the rush of first crushes to the calm security she values now. She’s inspired by her grandparents’ arranged marriage that lasted decades, and she encourages women to make the first move if they feel like it. Authenticity, she says, matters more than waiting for someone else to approach you.Shriya also talks about working in the digital age, praising her collaboration with Bhuvan Bam on Taza Khabar. She loves how content creators now write, produce, and star in their own shows—breaking down old barriers and letting fresh voices shine.As the conversation winds down, they explore legacy, luck, and longevity. From dancing with Shah Rukh Khan on “Chaiyya Chaiyya” and working with him in the movie Fan to aiming for a long career like her father’s, Shriya stresses that hard work opens doors, but the right moment makes everything click. She reminds us that control is an illusion, and sometimes surrendering to life’s flow is the best strategy.Finally, Shriya shares her grounding habits: journaling to sort her thoughts, solo travel to reconnect with nature, and even a quick look at a Milky Way Galaxy's picture on her phone when she’s feeling overwhelmed. She admits to 'emotional eating' after a long shoot and highlights the importance of switching off. For her, true success isn’t just awards or views—it’s the peace you find within every high and low.(00:00) Episode begins (03:03) On Mirzapur & feeling grounded in her 30s(06:11) 20s vs 30s(08:50) Outgrowing friendships(10:54) Are friendship break-ups harder?(12:08) Friendships, space & silence(14:52) Love in her 20s vs 30s(17:35) Being a giver in love(18:16) Saviour complex in relationships(19:45) Why women hesitate to ask for more(20:36) Making the first move(22:52) Struggling to surrender — even in love(25:03) On working with Shah Rukh Khan(28:03) How she got 'Fan'(29:16) “I want to be here for decades”(30:54) The role of luck(32:44) Staying in power(33:19) Healthy competition(34:39) How she got Guilty Minds(36:23) Virality & social media(38:28) On struggle(38:58) Feeling deeply as an actor(40:04) Is acting narcissistic?(41:00) Her grounding practices(43:26) Being present while acting(48:27) What success means to her(49:23) On Bhuvan Bam & influencer-actors(51:38) Creating your own chances(54:59) How Shriya Pilgaonkar unwinds AfterHours(57:35) GameFollow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Facebook: / allaboutevein Pinterest: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#shorts #srk #shahrukh #shahrukh_khan #shriyapilgaonkar #mirzapur #interview #bollywood #bollywoodinterview #bollywoodgossip #podcast #podcasting #podcastclips #chaiyachaiya

  • Lisa Mishra on The Royals, Kareena Kapoor, Zeenat Aman & Her Song Teri Hoon | Bani Anand | AAE S4

    Lisa Mishra on The Royals, Kareena Kapoor, Zeenat Aman & Her Song Teri Hoon | Bani Anand | AAE S4
    Jun 14 2025
    From performing with Kareena Kapoor in Tareefan Reprise to working with Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar in The Royals, Lisa Mishra has come a long way. And she's not stopping anytime soon. In this expansive, emotional, and at times hilarious episode of AfterHours with All About Eve podcast, singer-songwriter and Netflix star Lisa Mishra joins Bani Anand for a conversation that is equal parts soul-baring and unfiltered. Lisa reflects on her remarkable journey — she grew up in a traditional Indian household in the United States and had a secure job in data analytics before she took a leap of faith to pursue music full-time in India. That leap led to viral success with her cover of Tareefan, acting opportunities, and now a globally trending Netflix series, The Royals, which recently broke into the Top 3 worldwide.She shares what it was like to fly to India to record Tareefan with Sonam Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, battling nerves and obsessively memorising lyrics for 23 hours straight on the plane, feeling as though she were still auditioning. She fondly recalls how Kareena Kapoor was surprised that Lisa was singing live during the Tareefan shoot. She also reflects on the organic success of her duet Mujhe Tum Nazar Se with Adarsh Gourav, a song that continues to gain traction.Working with Zeenat Aman, Ishaan Khatter and Bhumi Pednekar on The RoyalsThe podcast also delves into her time on the set of The Royals, where she worked alongside legendary figures such as Zeenat Aman, whose poise and presence left a lasting impact. Lisa expresses her admiration for Zeenat Aman’s Instagram, a blend of vintage Bollywood charm and modern storytelling. Lisa speaks with moving honesty about the emotional toll of success, including the loneliness of being far from her family, and the importance of her inner circle. A touching anecdote involves her connection with actor Paresh Pahuja, with whom she toured on Voice Notes — a project done purely for the joy of it. She gets candid about the darker side of ambition: moments of doubt, burnout, and the deep yearning to simply rest.As the interview unfolds, Lisa also shares exciting details about her upcoming music, including her song Teri Hoon, a heartfelt, stripped-down track that brings her back to her roots with live instruments and emotional vulnerability, reminiscent of her early YouTube days. She talks about resisting trends like inserting viral dance hook steps into every track, choosing instead to stay authentic.(00:00) Episode begins(2:53) Lisa on The Royals & fan reactions(4:01) Working with Zeenat Aman(7:05) Flying to India for Tareefan Reprise(10:07) Are her parents proud?(12:22) Why do women doubt their success?(15:06) Independent artist vs. working with a label(17:36) New song: Teri Hoon(20:13) Tareefan & 'Mujhe Tum Nazar Se' with Adarsh Gourav(25:30) Lisa Mishra's celebrity crush(26:40) Reacting to Ishaan Khatter's shirtless scenes(27:10) Riding a horse for The Royals(28:18) Portraying love on screen with Kavya Trehan(30:30) How Lisa knows someone’s into her(33:43) How to recognise "the one"(34:56) Dating in your 30s(37:36) On working with Kareena Kapoor(38:58) Today’s superstar potential(43:48) Why Lisa needs a break(46:15) Bond with Paresh Pahuja(47:01) Making friends as an adult(51:32) Dealing with “enemies”(52:18) Does Lisa ghost people?(52:40) Has she been ghosted?(53:37) Accepting flaws(54:58) Back to roots: Teri Hoon(57:29) How Lisa Mishra unwinds AfterHoursFollow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Facebook: / allaboutevein Pinterest: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#theroyals #netflix #lismishra #kareenakapoorkhan #zeenataman #interview #podcast #ishankhattar #bollywood #bollywoodinterview

    The Pretty Good Roast Show Secrets: Kushagra on Maheep Singh, Kusha Kapila, Aashish Solanki & More
    Jun 6 2025
    In this delightfully candid episode of AfterHours with All About Eve, stand-up comedian and writer Kushagra Srivastava sits down for an honest chat about life behind the jokes.The Pretty Good Roast Show: Behind The ScenesKushagra shares behind-the-scenes insights into writing jokes for The Pretty Good Roast Show, especially for non-comic guests, how some celebrities (like Kusha Kapila) came exceptionally well-prepared, and the hilarious inner workings of writing as a team with Kaustubh and Rohit — and what exactly Aashish Solanki was doing while they wrote.One of the episode’s highlights is when Kushagra pays tribute to fellow comic Maheep Singh — someone he considers deeply influential. He talks about Maheep Singh's career in comedy since 2010, his brief break during COVID, and most memorably, Maheep Singh's brilliant line “Mummy kaisi hai?” on The Pretty Good Roast Show.The Dark Side Of Social MediaThe conversation takes a deeper turn as Kushagra opens up about the darker side of internet fame — negative comments, trolling, and the strange confidence people get when hidden behind screens.Dating In 2025, From A Man's POVWe also explore the male emotional landscape: how men deal with heartbreak, the ways in which male friendships offer support, and why most break-up conversations end with "bohot badiya hua, ab chill kar." From dating dynamics to communication struggles, Kushagra talks about being ghosted, ghosting others, and the strange ecosystem of dating apps — including the bizarre bios, performative politeness, and how the dating bar for men is so low that basic decency is now considered “gentlemanly”. He also shares what he sees as green flags (people who don’t take themselves too seriously) and red flags (those who can turn on anyone without warning).Life As A Stand-Up ComedianAs the episode comes to a close, Kushagra talks about the loneliness of stand-up comedy — the solo travel, the solo shows — and whether he’d still be doing it if it weren’t financially viable. And if you’ve seen him on Tanmay Reacts(Tanmay Bhat's show), you’ve probably wondered why he’s called Kidnapper OP. Kushagra reveals the inside joke behind the nickname. His answer? It’s the love for the craft that matters most. He also opens up about what brings him joy, how he unwinds AfterHours, and what he hopes to keep building as a writer and performer.(00:00) Episode begins(2:16) Why did it take so long for Kushagra to be recognised online?(2:57) How did Kushagra become a comedian?(5:18) Writing for The Pretty Good Roast Show (6:15) Are comedians scared nowadays?(7:22) Dealing with online hate and trolling(10:45) Who does he confide in?(11:15) Male vs female friendships – handling emotional struggles(14:55) Do men actually want strong, independent women?(18:55) Worst thing Kushagra has read about himself – and post-breakup relief(20:10) Best part of stand-up comedy(21:43) Does he ever feel envious of other comedians?(22:30) On Maheep Singh and the ‘Mummy Kaisi Hai’ moment(25:49) Why is he called Kidnapper OP on Tanmay Reacts?(26:22) His relationship with his parents(28:41) Sanya Malhotra being rejected by Dance India Dance(30:36) How would he present himself on a reality show?(33:50) Has Kushagra ever ghosted someone?(37:02) Does ‘Hassi Toh Phassi’ work in real life?(40:28) Why stand-up comedy can feel lonely(42:21) Dating apps and the strangest bios he’s seen(47:54) Green flags in people(48:23) Red flags to watch out for(48:38) Would he still pursue comedy if it didn’t pay well?(51:51) How Kushagra unwinds AfterHoursFollow us: Instagram: / allabouteve_in Website: https://allabouteve.co.in/#prettygoodroastshow #roast #maheepsingh #standupcomedy #standupcomedian #kushakapila #tanmaybhat #tanmayreacts #podcast #interview #comedy #roastshow
