About this episode
In this episode of Cyrus Says, actor and IIT graduate Amol Parashar joins Cyrus for a wide-ranging conversation that’s equal parts funny, insightful, and unexpected.

Amol then opens up about his time at IIT, sharing everything from the quirky dressing culture to unforgettable ragging stories. The chat moves into his early days in theatre and acting, his transition from engineering to the performing arts, and how he found his footing in the industry. From his experiences working in ads, auditioning for films like Rocket Singh, to what’s coming up next on his slate — Amol keeps it real, relatable, and refreshingly grounded. If you’re curious about life behind the scenes in Bollywood, or just want to hear two smart, funny guys talk life, career, and chaos — listen to this now!
