After watching this really enjoyable interaction I can't help but wish Cyrus interviews Twinkle Khanna. Would be fab!!

[@nikitavig9630]

Me too omg

[@saritames1774]

Why Twinkle??

[@A_Menon]

@@saritames1774 Two funny witty people who don't take themselves seriously - what's not to look forward to??!!

[@taxi_boast]

This was such a good episode! I can't believe she's 75. It's so easy to tell when Cyrus actually likes the guest he's interviewing:)

[@Excl-vids]

feels like a throwback to the 90's ethos cyrus-shobha top guys in tv-print space

[@2011szaman]

This interview should have had at least 3 more episodes. OMG, it was so much fun😄!

[@TriciaMani]

Oh myyyygosh! What a coincidence. Just a few days back, like about four days back, I was having this conversation with my husband and I said hey, where the fish... is Shobha De and I was pleasantly surprised to chance upon this episode. I've been delighted to watch her & listen to her. She has always been amazing and I'm thinking that, she's is even better now . A very entertaining episode and I'm simply happy to see, someone I idolised, after a long long time. My day is made.....the year actually. She's so good with words, maybe, Cyrus you must have Tharoor and her in one of your episodes......I was thinking Sabira Merchant too. Am I asking for too much.....no....right.

[@priyaraman952]

Shoba mam is so wise and beautiful.❤

[@milindpjoshi]

Loved the episode. No one has a finger on the pulse of Mumbai as Shobha does. Also Cyrus doing what Cyrus does.

[@surekhapisal2077]

That's true, people have told me my tongue works like a sword without drawing blood. I think all Satara people are like that, honest and direct, why waste time? Way to go Shobha, my mom is 75 too and rocks at her age, she is way ahead of her times.

[@aparna19kabiraj]

The best ending to any podcast / interviews I have heard. And I have heard quite a few. To all the veggies out there - that is the pain of a non vegetarian that you will never understand. I am with you Shobha - not a fan of SRK the actor. his interviews are a treat. It is the same with Shobha as well. Not a fan of her writing , but love her personality and how she has gorgeously paved a path for herself. That voice at 75 . Full love only.

[@555nip]

Delightful interview. Never seen such a warm n entertaining n affable side of Ms De. Wow.

[@karishmacontractor3617]

Loved this!! Shobha De, defies genetics. What a gorgeous and smart lady!

[@kavitagera6101]

Shobha De's father was a judge. For sometime he was posted in Mahad Raigad district. Yes her sister is Mandakini Tata. Manda was my father's classmate and a good friend of his till his demise.

[@malinichandra6953]

Would read her article in the WEEK without fail in my teenage days

[@dheerajthakore5658]

Ive been listening to the podcast for a couple of years now. Its even better when you watch it on youtube. Cyrus and team, you have done a great job with this. The conversations feel so effortless. P.S. Can believe Shobhaa De is 75 😮

[@suisenshirasaki8298]

Please go on Son of Abish as a guest, Cyrus? You're a legend in your own right and there's something about Abish, his mannerisms that reminds me of you.

[@deepaknarang6576]

He’s already been on SoAb

[@myqueries137]

Ghonto Rocks!!

[@sonikasharma9693]

She is still so energetic & witty, beautifully articulating her thoughts,

[@shyamnagarmat6678]

Cyrus with rippling biceps, muscles into Humour 😊 & Laughter whereas for Veteran Journalist's Book " INSATIABLE " on the Subject which will turn ' Food' for Thought into Gluttony. I wonder how a woman so Conscious about her Looks at her Age writes about Food & I wonder how She has not called her Book " Grab The Grub " . Definitely the Famous Two Share the Attitude of " I ( We) Care Two Hoots ....... ". Incidentally Hinglish was introduced & made famous by Bharat Dabholkar's one liner Amul Advertisements. Let me Conclude with my Middle Class Values & UpBringing. Carry On!! After All Laughter is the Best Medicine.

[@vidyamadamanchi7091]

Lovely at 75 👏🏻👏🏻. Kudos to her health and youthfulness

[@chaitanyashinde7700]

I think Cyrus and Grade Cricketer should have collab. Cyrus has awesome knowledge about cricket and it’s all about cricket with jokes and fun. Would love to watch it.

[@rajeshgurung6952]

Amazing stuff! Keep it up team 😊

[@AjitJoshi686]

I have met her around 25 years back. Maybe she was 50. The way she spoke was nothing like sultry or stary novels 😂😂😂😂

[@cauliflowerhead2735]

Shobha De is so so witty!

[@pnsange]

Shoba de is an icon....looove her ❤

[@chaitanyashinde7700]

Cyrus you live in Maharashtra so you are a Maharashtrian. It’s as simple as that every person who lives in Maharashtra from any race, religion, caste, creed etc is Maharashtrian. We love everyone and it’s probably only the most secular state in India even with its problems. So do hell with these politicians who wants to divide us. Indian first at heart ❤️

[@_sayan_roy_]

Maharashtra probably the most secular ? I don't think so. The state which has a city called Nagpur which is probably the hotbed of Hindutva movement, had complete dominance of Pakistani Islamist affiliated Mafia gangs in 90s and early 2000s and many other factors. I do agree some of the problems are exaggerated and do not exist now and Maharashtra might be one of the most secular states unlike what many think, but there are probably more secular states in the country, some notoriously secular in some circles like WB and Kerala. I would actually put North East, TN and Karnataka also up there but Maharashtra is indeed more liberal and secular than most. I appreciate the rest of your comment and I didn't want to offend Maharashtrians but just needed to say the above.

[@cauliflowerhead2735]

@@_sayan_roy_ it is secular cz despite being a hot bed of hindutva, hindutva itself has been in decline in Maharashtra.

That is how conversations work. It’s back and forth. And from my observation Sobha talked a lot so I don’t know where you get that Cyrus didn’t let her talk.
