[@rohitsingh-ql8iz]

She shows excitement while other person is speaking that's excellent communication skills

[@K.2015]

🎉🎉🎉😢🎉😢

[@VishnukamleshKamlesh]

Exactly themost beautiful thing in her

[@sadiachaity3725]

The aura of her is just so beautiful❤

[@yeInterestinghai]

From "Parineeta" to "Paa," "The Dirty Picture," and "Kahani," Vidya Balan consistently proves herself to be an exceptional individual.

[@Shrisahjand777]

Zee ma hum panchh aati thi usme bhi thi

[@subhalaxmirath4319]

Vidya is very intelligent...The whole podcast..The way she was taking a pause....thinking about the questions answeing...I felt so good. It felt like Raj is the younger brother and Vidya is the elder sister...both adults discussing LIFE❤

[@prik4727]

Her voice and laugh are just purely delightful.

[@priyajarali1876]

Next should be Samantha

[@moumitachowdhury538]

Vidya’s self awareness is a lot and her EQ is high. Her explanation about connection and instant simulation is perfect. Being scared of connection is also true because our generation is suffering from major Fomo. Her explanation about being insecure is the reason for cheating is psychology backed. But the host talking about keeping the experiences alive to maintain the relationship is also psychology backed.

[@ashwiniraj730]

I want Vidya and madhavan to act in a movie together as husband and wife ❤❤❤❤

[@danglingconversation]

Actually, their chemistry was good in Guru. Her chemistry with Farhan, Manav Kaul and Pratik Gandhi is beautiful. But Madhavan will come close to a husband like look, a lot like Siddharth.

[@sumibak]

The most honest, heartfelt, deep, analytical flow of conversation I have seen in a long time. No wonder Raj did not need to look at his notes.

[@dhruvgulati1667]

Vidya ma'am rethinking her entire relationship during this session. Nice session through 50%.

[@dhruvgulati1667]

53:00 "connection se daar lagta ha".. afraid of trauma, the sadness it brings, we see constantly connections getting broken evey day, whether loosing someone, pets, no one stays forever, don't wannay be vulnerable for anyone to hurt you later. Connections are meaningless just harmonal highs, its you, your personality, your journey, also no one wants to change for the other person, you want to get accepted as you are, (I am not saying not dresssing up) like not wanting to put up a show for the other person, relationships nowdays are only for adventurous types, looking for thrill of dangers(breakups), cheating/affairs just the thrill of getting caught, not like hiking because its difficult and challenging, but like gambling, its easy and gives similar high. Idk, finding true honest people that are willing to open up, show true self, is very difficult, social dating is all a show,(show of money power influence) no one want to see or even think of the future like 20-30yrs down the line, how will life look like, how we want to spend our future together, everyone wants to just live in today, aaj hi karlo jo bhi karna ha, kal ka kuch nahi pata, But no one is planning for the furture and acting accordingly, thats why these situationships, meaningless relationships. Great show. Bro I want you work with you if possible, this was a deep conversation, thoda deep and better questions aur and it will be Lex Fridman lvl.

[@6ofPentacles]

Thoroughly enjoyed this podcast. I repeat myself here saying this, "Raj, I love your way of interacting with your guests. You let them talk and you listen well and your questions are well curated and thoughtful."

[@chocominxx]

He forgot to ask “kya aapne apni maut k baare mei socha hai?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@6ofPentacles]

Hahahaha! I know who this comment was hinting at!

[@RG-lk9nj]

😂kya aap bhoot main maante ho. Kya aapne yeti dekha hai😂😂😅

[@kusumkiran3429]

Totally agree as I love watching his style of interaction so very pure something like what we would ask if we were in his place:) I’ve been watching most of your shows as I missed so many from the past.. keep going Raj! Kudos

[@ruchikanayyar414]

Vidya Balan is my all time favourite...not just her looks, but how she thinks and speak is soooooooo deep & beautiful.....This podcast is just awesome...THE COMBINATION of Vidya and Raj is mind blowing....Lovely coversation

[@anthonyyesudas]

Effort is the sexiest thing in the world. This line hit me hard when it comes to relationships. learnt this lesson the hard way.

[@tenzinlhamo4556]

Vidya Balan's laughter is infectious.....She always gives Positive Vibes! ❤ 😊

The best part was end of the conversation where you mentioned that you skipped all the questions to keep the originality. It so simple to have conversations and you proved it right rather faking it. Its wow ❤

[@ExplorewithElora]

This is such a beautiful episode. What I love about Raj is that he doesn't shy away from putting across his point of view and stick to it and justify it sensibly

[@rajshamani]

I’m that kind, hehe! Wow, you noticed and pointed that out, you guys observe very closely!! Thanks 🙌🏻❤️

[@ranidumpala7234]

Vidya Balan is very beautiful...she talks from her heart.... felt good through out

[@MonikaD________l]

lack of connection with yourself definitely comes in the way of one forming a connection with the world. and I have experienced this firsthand.

[@COCOFINANCE]

Vidya In Parineeta was fabulous

[@manjotbajwa99]

This is not jus an interview this is a reflection of everyone's relationships which we all faced and some will. We need some other podcasts like this to understand things.

[@rajeshkumard3426]

Superb Raj Shamani !! Different converation !! Its realisation convertion i loved it !!

[@ritukapur1762]

Excellent .. 'Hume connection se darr lagta hi'.. I agree 👍 53:37

[@Dearenglish8]

Me and my husband are in long distance relationship because of jobs.we talk every now and then on the phone. We never fail to communicate.❤

[@Interval.scence_]

Why u and your husband?

[@Interval.scence_]

Vidya balan looks so elegant and fit at 45❤

[@merinmathew7993]

I loved how you spoke about a situation and explained the solution as an example of 'thank you' instead of 'sorry'.

[@foodmoods09]

Wow. Vidya Balan is such a matured calm conversationalist, self aware and clear cut self expressive. Loved watching this real side of her❤❤

[@shubhasreesarkar9551]

This was one of the most insightful conversations I had heard in a while! Love the format!

[@bindu7591]

That's one of the sweetest pitch that I have ever had. Subscribed. :)

[@nikikathuria]

Thank you for letting the conversation flow naturally and giving us a beautiful podcast. One of my favourites. Loved the way you guys talked about relationships, even though I'm single I understood a lot more about myself and my relationship type. Brilliant ❤

[@almagna]

what a beautiful conversation..... every point of relationship is discussed here, its a good lessons for us too........ keep it up Raj.... wonderful show

[@ojaswijoshi4337]

This podcast is exceptional, truly one of the finest I've listened to. The chemistry between Raj and Vidya is remarkable, and witnessing it has elevated my admiration for Raj significantly. I am definitely looking forward to tuning in to more episodes. Good luck and keep growing.

[@E1304-l4m]

Raj aapnae Jo apni mummy papa ki grateful wali baat btayi That's very very true ❤ We must be grateful to everyone in our life 🙏 I'm grateful to Raj becoz he gives me very informative podcasts. Thankyou thankyou thankyou 🙏🙏🙏

[@preetinair1476]

Raj you are a great conversationalist! Vidya Balan is an exceptional individual! She has no star airs, she is listening to what Raj has to say with keen interest and excitement. Her thoughts are so sorted and she comes out as a truly humble and genuine person! I am a great admirer of her acting prowess but now admire her intellect and her thought process as well. 😊

[@sugandhapant6937]

Listening to vidya is like listening to music 😂 she is so surili ❤

[@aparnalakshmi8877]

She’s an actor and an amazing one, why no questions asked about her methodology of acting/ her work, like for example, Manoj Bajpai was asked. Imagine if Manoj Bajpai spoke about the relationship with his wife for an hour and nothing about acting.

[@1234CDAB]

Exactly 💯

[@desibarbie14]

heyy,actually the thing is that shes here for her movie promotion,and hence its more relationship based(as per the movie also),shes been doing similar promotions at other places also

[@abhijeetshandilya]

​@@desibarbie14 Yea, you are right Most of the people on podcasts are there to promote their products.

[@sukritisehgal8031]

This was an amazing episode ❤. She is so sensible and smart in her life. I love the healer part, and to every modern day persepective she has one that defines her soul. 😍

[@Dsredchilly]

We can ask @rajshamani to get her back to talk about her acting journey bec that interests allllll of us. 👍 but this doesn’t undermine this podcast in any way. This conversation was excellent bec it got us to know Vidya as a person. And she’s incredible 😍❤️

[@pallaviparde1152]

I love how calm you keep it all, felt the connection and learned a lot. Thank you ❤

[@ArjunMohanOfficial]

Lovely show 🤗❤

[@dhritisharma8656]

This is the second time i am listening to Vidya mam on a podcast. She is such a beautiful person inside and out. Her thinking, her point of views are so on point. I could really see myself agreeing to what she was saying. And Raj this is the first time i am watching your podcast and i must say Its brilliant ❤❤❤

[@anamikahehe]

I really really loved it! Her voice is still so good omg 😭❤️

[@TLH11_23]

Raw, natural, organic, blissful, so many insights.... Lovely ❤

[@deepikabhadange4649]

Loved this conversation, so much more to understand for being in relationship

[@yug8368]

Thanks and Need more such podcasts, so that we can understand the female prospective also.

[@rajshamani]

Glad, this episode could help. I'll sure bring more episodes around this topic!! Stay tuned 💪

[@niharikarani2697]

The episodes with shefali and vidya are so therapeutic ❤🧡💛💚

[@sonaligoswamidesigns3292]

I loved this conversation. Light hearted and informative

[@jananielango]

That's one awesome quality conversation ❤ Subscribed to the channel right away!❤❤❤ Raj you've got a persona that is so calm and has so much clarity❤ Vidhya Balan has a classy,charming ,witty, intelligent personality❤ When two good listeners have a conversation this is what happens- the conversations just flow naturally❤ Thankyou for this❤ I will 💯 revisit in future to listen to this conversation again❤ So good❤ Much love❤❤

[@Myperspective1802]

I felt a lot of healing listening to this. Learned about the sofa theory, also about doing something new every month with your partner, so you explore and know each other more. My husband and me have been stepping out of the house for dates, but doing nothing and we come back feeling we have nothing to do. This was a super duper episode , that I could sit and listen to you guys for hours.

[@vanya.rastogi]

After listening to gazillion relationship podcasts, I felt this one as most succinct, & closer to Indian context ... Amazing work 👏🏻😍

[@nandinigore8179]

This session was really hitting at different levels….. it was a in-depth conversation 😊

[@anirudhsinha2369]

Lovely, honest, real, organic & insightful conversation. Vidya doesn't shy from admitting she has flaws and is working on them on a daily, is not pompous or has airs about her. Love that Raj takes time to listen and respond which is a great quality as a person, not just a host. Some great insights, anecdotes & learnings shared by both that made this chat so great. Loved every moment of it. Great format for a podcast. ❤🙏 The show is aptly named.

[@amithaeaby]

What she said is so true about connection and commitment.. at the end of the podcast..made me realise fault in myself and relationship with myself.what a great conversation !!

[@aishamehboob4311]

You both had a beautiful conversation. I was so indulging that while working though it was on it didn’t let me move away. This conversation was based on real facts why people want another partner! I even don’t want to call it cheating because everyone has a right to breathe. Let it be the way it is…. Don’t judge because you are not in that person’s shoes. But this society doesn’t let us live out of the box so people do it secretly. Period I appreciate your efforts Mr Raj and this lady always hit the nails she is an amazing person♥️ keep it up🙌🏻👍

[@ishwaryaamin]

Such an eye opener about the nuances of relationships. Much needed. Changed my perspective about a lot of things ❤❤ thank you for inviting Vidya Balan. She's a vibe and so are you Raj 🌻✨ Kudos. Much 💗.

[@ShristiJain-y5g]

She always speaks from her heart ❤️ that's what makes her communication so unique

[@SA-cb2it]

Raj is right here. Even when you are in bad mood, you don’t have to take out frustration of someone on people who love you are there for you. So your 5 min rituals is well thought out and healthy. You don’t have to brush off people who have nothing to do with your bad mood. And you can give a couple of minutes and tell them that you are tired and you will come back to them in an hour or whatever. What Vidya is saying here is not healthy but it works for her because her husband is like that, he doesn’t feel there is a need to tell her that he needs his space but just takes it, but you have chosen to be in the relationship and it is your prerogative to communicate your needs instead of expecting someone to just guess.

[@AishiBhattacharyaOfficial]

I think it is a balance of both. Overall one should give that 5 mins time every dayand make that effort because the relationship was a choice of ours. But again there are days when you are so tired or down or whatever you need your alone time, then you should be able to shut off without any explanation. Even if in those occasions you feel the need to explain your mood, etc for 5 mins, then one day you will surely get tired trying to live up to the best version of yourself, you’ll feel drained off, your relationship will feel fake and you’ll be neglecting yourself. A family is someone in front of whom you can be the most authentic version of yourself. If they can’t take your bad days they are not family, similarly you should accept the bad days of your partner or parents. There is always a thin line though. For example if you face toxicity or abuse at work you don’t have the right to channel or project that toxicity on your family/ relationship. But you can always come home and ask for a day to yourself… This would be happily accepted by your loved ones if for the majority of the other days you ensure that you have spent time with them. They are assured that you love and respect them and your efforts, so they will respect your space. So more than extreme of a scale, it’s balancing both in the right amount. Example: if someone who is a kind and sweet person behaves rudely then automatically the people around understand that he/she might be going through something difficult even without an explanation and will be supportive. But if someone constantly avoids or behaves badly and never seems to care, then even the smallest things can trigger discord. So the bottom line is, be kind and understanding, try to put yourself in the shoes of your loved ones and understand their feelings and needs. Respect and give them time, at the same time be brutally honest with them. This way no one gets tired or unhappy, both you and the ones around you.

[@ays162]

Don’t u think that’s very unrealistic to expect. We are humans we are going to have certain implosions and outbursts it’s only natural u can’t be a calm rational logical mahatma machine all the time and I think having a partner that allows u the space to do that is very cool

[@SA-cb2it]

@@ays162 you are confusing allowing space with lack of communication. And no, if you are doing something wrong you need to make efforts to be better instead of blaming your short comings on 'I am only human', that is not being human that's being lazy, avoiding doing inner work. It you want to stay that way then do, but them don't be in relationship or expect the other person to tolerate your toxic traits. You will still get space if you just tell the other person that you need some space instead of throwing tantrums and expecting the other person to just get 'the hint', it is disrespectful.

[@SA-cb2it]

@@AishiBhattacharyaOfficial I understand what you are saying, but if you love your family why would you be rude to them even when you had bad day? Esp when they are being nice to you. I think it is not right to expect your family to tolerate your bad behavior just because that is your family and you can be your authentic self. The point is, what is your authentic self? Do you think being irritated is your authentic self? Is that you 95% of the time or is that only 5%? If it is only 5% then it is not yourself, yourself is the version that you are most of the times. And if your 'authentic self' is someone who snaps at people who are just being nice with you then you need to change your authentic self because that authentic self is toxic. I hope you are getting what I am trying today. Realizing that our time here is short, oue time with our family and loved ones is limited then why cause unnecessary drama? In my opinion your family is your family later, everyone in it is an individual first and you have to respect them, you have to respect the people you spend moat if your time instead of taking them for granted or treating them with a lower version of you.

[@ays162]

@@SA-cb2it i think like I said it's unrealistic to always expect yourself to be perfect. And that's where a good partner can be understanding. Being a good communicator doesn't mean u have to be a good communicator ALL the time. It's not possible. Otherwise we would never experience any negative emotions ever. Rationalising and hacking relationship through guidelines and rules is one thing. But giving your space to truly be human sometimes is also an understandable aspect of existing. It's really not that big a deal if one day out of several days there is simply a breakdown in communication on your end. You can circle back to it when u r feeling better. It's not that big a deal. Always working on yourself like you are self improvement project 24x7 is actually detrimental to your natural existence. Balance is everything

[@shovachaudhary5231]

Amazing podcast, this is how a podcast should be equally interactive❤ . I have seen most of the host do out cast the guests in a way to show how smart and knowledgeable they are! Or not being reciprocative to the guest what they speak of. It's a wholesome conversation 😍and Raj have an amazing and genuine way of forming bonds with the guests 👏 and it's always a treat to see Vidya talking 😻

People consider Virat and Anushka an ideal match but I've had always felt this couple is to another level...I like Siddharth more as a calm and private person but Vidhya is Just beyond, her personality is infectious...

[@reshmameghani8378]

Also she never has that sort of actor star like thing or attitude in interview it seems as easy/aura if you are having conversation with you friend or known person

WOW, this was fun. Some of the podcasts I've followed in the past got boring after a certain period and sometimes they don't know where to direct the conversation and it looks "fake". This was genuinely my first ever podcast i listened where by the end I felt like this was so short. And dude the amount of info you have and how you express it and indulge your guests with, nice skills. Forgot to mention Vidya mam's energy here. Very authentic. All in all, this was very entertaining.

[@SHREYA871997]

This episode was very insightful 💯

[@ritukapur1762]

Excellent conversation and an apt topic chosen @Raj Shamani Sharing my viewpoint. There is a distinction between realization due to insights and feeling guilty.. A thin line difference.. Hence I agree to both the views on 'spending time with family for 5 mins or just saying had a bad day need some time off' when back home.. In both ways we are communicating with the other person. Sharing our views and setting expectation is important and over a period of time the other person understands you even if you dont communicate.. That's connection and understanding. In my view this was one of the best podcasts..

[@MariaSarfraz-kb2lk]

I love vidya when she,s speaking❤❤❤

[@rajshrigupta2346]
