Kudos to her! Her soft demeanor conceals a formidable strength that not only helped her survive the male-dominated training but also thrive within it. Her resilience and dedication are truly inspiring, breaking stereotypes and showcasing the diverse strength within the force. 💪👮‍♀️

[@PriyaOltikar]

I think Sushmita Sen can play her in a movie.

[@grandmasterjo1]

🤪🤪😆🤪🤪🤪 Then you do know Cyrus as a brand. What you did not appreciate , like his interruption and stupid jokes is exactly what everyone wants to hear from Cyrus 🤪🤪 You think it’s so easy to be so funny all the time ? Instant replies , every response is a wise crack, every reply a silly joke That’s Cyrus and he’s doing it from the day he could speak 🤪🤪🤪 Even a hard core police woman office was perpetually smiling and that the Cyrus Charisma effect.

[@BAbhijeet]

Really loved the episode....Cyrus says is turning into one of the best book podcast now....and I love that....this one and the one with Ruskin bond....were the best episodes so far. And I really hope Cyrus interviews more writers from different genre who write books on interesting topics...

[@vishramandre9023]

Yes, absolutely 👍😊

[@harishdeshpande1159]

Cyrus sitting in front of top cop wearing “I don’t do coke, I do pepsi” !! #savage #cyrussays

[@neweramk]

I was in a boarding school in panchgani and in the year 1998-99 she had come to our school as a chief guest when she was the superintendent of police in satara district.. and what a personality in that uniform.. smart and spick and span.. and she gave a wonderful speech to the students.. great experience..

[@evasingh8471]

Madam Kiran Bedi was invited as a speaker in psychology deptt.in Jesus and Mary College Delhi University. Loved her speech.

[@KanugoRahul]

Is your school st. Peters? Because Freddie Mercury and our dear Bawa(Neville Shah) are also that school’s alumni’s

[@divs2109]

Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Cyrus, I would like to share a biker story. My dad was driving (NCR Delhi) and there was this biker zipping around and cutting lanes. We happened to stop next to him at the light. My father rolled down the window and told him "Beta aise rashly kyon chala rahe ho". He replies "Chacha, jawani ka josh hai, AAP Kya jano". My dad responded "beta, humane bhi jawani Dekhi hai aur bike bhi chalayi hai. Par tum aise chalaoge to Meri Umar dekhne ke liye shayad he rahoge". The biker had a light bulb moment and apologized and assured that he would drive better. May be you need to say something similar. Broacha Janta party can surely work on this change!

[@Devicca]

So refreshing to see a genuinely distinguished person speak forthrightly, the mutual respect is evident.

[@anjalidastur7132]

This was so lovely! What a lady! How we brush the entire police force with the same brush and then when one listens to people like 'maam', one realises how wrong is that perception! ' The government doesn't like me' was 🎯❤. And Cyrus if you serious about Broacha party, I'm in! Get some more people like her on the show. Thank you so much for this❤

[@Devicca]

Excellent episode. So many great stories from the lady, Cyrus sparkles.

[@raja-jl9os]

How old?

[@sarahkumkumapoovu]

Very insightful episode. She represents the best in our society. The ones who don’t make a lot of noise and quietly go about their jobs, but have such profound impact!

[@satchsid24]

Great episode. Thanks for bringing in guests like this and now I am curious to know more amazing stories and ordered the book already.

[@555nip]

Amazing lady. Amazing stories. Amazing insights.Thanks so so much for this wonderful guest Meera .Madam Commissioner.

[@nehalee22]

Thank you Cryus for mentioning counsellors and recognizing the importance of it ! Amazing interview..

[@prabhdeepsingh8138]

Man this is so underrated .... Hope it reaches more people..❤

[@aparnabhadbhade1816]

What a terrific story. The things she's faced and been thru is amazing. Thank u for this.

[@adventureishani]

Borwankar Ma'am has been such a great inspiration to wherever she worked, especially for us in Yashada, Pune

[@tatachaitanya2918]

I guess not even once she took credit of something good she did. Only mentioned facts and openly stated the problems in politics and the system. People usually get carried away in such shows, she is cool, duty tha so it had to be in that way. Another great podcast 👍

[@rotihit]

Thanks for the wonderful interview, Cyrus.

[@mindfullness2314]

Bro, kindly allow Mam to speak and exchange thoughts. Very rarely , we get to watch ,such a highly respected and Honorary ppl.

[@roopapathania]

Good podcast.... you should get more unsung heroes on your show . Great woman!!!

[@mehruzsiganporia7268]

Such is reality of our society. We have to respect our cops who sacrifice their lives. Lovely woman. She should be made panel head for transformation of cops standard of living. Best wishes to her. Tabu is perfect to play her in her biopic.

[@SwetaNalwaya]

Loved the episode .. Interesting choice of guest and so wonderfully anchored by Cyrus !

[@shashijain5084]

What an interesting & engaging talk !!!! We all are aware of Dr Kiran Bedi as India's super cop but never think of equally excellent & outstanding officers like Mrs Borwankar .

[@sublime8251]

Thanks CYRUS for having regard for Madam jsyalalitha.She was intelligent well read sophisticated amidst the uncouth guys of her work area. Veer chakra you her

[@braveheartask1]

I remember the particular politician in Satara, I was 12-13 at that time. It was a huge case and conditions could have gone way out of control. Considering stature of politician, she did that!! Hats off!!

[@enness615]

Loved this conversation. Will definitely check the book out!

[@ManishKumar-zj5wq]

Interesting episode. As always Cyrus is terrific.

[@likhonbachar9386]

it is getting better and better !!

[@jigyboy267]

Another wonderful podcast also Cyrus so wanted to ask about the VIP treatment politicians get while travelling 🤣🤣🤣

[@vodkaredbull]

Guests are getting better and better!

[@nehapandey-qi4rx]

Absolutely loved this episode❤ She has such dignity and personality. Truly inspiring. As usual Cyrus was a brilliant host. Big fan.

[@nbhh9201]

[@ravindragadhari6244]

[@theaqua7606]

Amazing show Cyrus. Hats off to Madam. We can only imagine what courage she would have had

[@suryavanshi6546]

Very relevant and mature questions asked by Cyrus in his usual humourous style. A very inspirational story of a woman IPS officer who made it into the services when service conditions were quite difficult for women.

[@mohsinjabir]

Cyrus Baba... one more very good interview !!!!!!

[@Funnyguyxx]

One of the better podcasts on YT india! Enjoyed watching.

[@Aditya-gm8uf]

His t shirt😂

[@kanishkgehrotra]

Cyrus's first TV AD was of FP (fountain pepsi). That's why.

[@reeko9278]

Lol only he can pull such stuffs😂

[@prashantkanaujia8491]

Cyrus was like a child in a candy store! That happens only when it's a cricket related episode or some bureaucrat comes. This definitely makes it to the top 5 episodes of Cyrus Says!

[@2011szaman]

What an inspiration! Hats off! ❤🙏

[@bhaskrsharma]

Cyrus ...... 😊😊 ... and we would like to see DSP Cyrus Brocha... that will be one sight

[@maheshmenon1363]

Madam’s interview was really inspiring. Only one thing about her thought on democracy without politicians but however at the same time Madam credits the entire system on the hanging incident and how well it was managed.

[@fourbrofourbro9650]

First time I saw this Podcast. Amazing guest. Amazing Host. Just one suggestion to the Host please give more time to the Guest. Thanks

[@ArjunRadhakrishnan-wu3tj]

Really needed.

[@ashishp15]

Love to see Cyrus on screen :D. From Bakra, MTV and lot of stuff... you were my fav VJ ...

[@pg091yq]

Such an eye opening episode. Absolutely enjoyed watching it

[@vivboh8640]

Brilliant episode...

[@sanilj]

Cyrus bhai I am big fan but just a suggestion. You seem a bit eager to show that you read the book by often adding details. Please let the guest speak more than yourself. You can always include humor in your questions. Let the guests build their own narrative when answering your questions. By allowing for each guests personality to come thru, you will keep each episode different and prevent the show from becoming just a repetitive Cyrus monologue. -Still a big fan of your originality and humor!

[@WBSchoolOfMaths]

Tabu 1:06:33

[@nameet12]

One Word for her.. SHAKTI.. more powerful than the male energy.. Keep it up..Thank you for your service🙏

[@vvn19672]

Wow !She spoke my mind Democracy without politicians ……………

[@AgileCoachingRoundtableACRT]

Cyrus interrupts her so much. Literally in every sentence he interrupted. He just didn't let her complete single sentence

[@ni3patil64]

What a great lady. Lovely episode. Cyrus ❤

[@KunaaaaaaL]

1:01:33 'if' the script is well made and the best directors in the business is gonna direct then the only name comes in my mind when i see meera ma'am is Tabu ... only tabu can be the best choice as she's ofc my fav also the best actress and look very very similar to the ma'am 😊💪👮‍♀

[@netlogis]

Simply superb Cyrus

[@GagandeepSingh-of2jg]

Salute to Madam Commissioner Ji. HUGE RESPECT THANKS CYRUS V V MUCH

[@rk2372]

Brilliant episode . Love cyrus says

[@swaroopmv8395]

Always Cyrus B 's fan. Your humour is world class boss😂

[@prabirchatterjee619]

Great podcast...carry on cyrus baba

[@Nietzsche_K_Gote]

excellent guest , Great episode . Mazaaa aa gaya

[@sadhnamisra7171]

Watched and loved it .....I have read Head Held High after watching podcast with Vishwas Nangre Patil... Btw Sushmita or Juhi can play her.....although she doesn't need any foolish Bollywood movie... need a

[@ashishnoah]

One of the best podcast 🙂

[@drhothead]

I can see Konkona Sen Sharma or Vidya Balan.

[@sanjaykashyap8376]

I laughed out loud 😂 And many incidents made me cry as well ❤

[@Ram27072]

Great job Cyrus eega to read the book 👏

[@prithvirajdesai7920]

Madam Commissioner 🙌😍🤩🇮🇳💐

[@kritikabaskar7197]

Cyrus, cast Nayantara as the actress for a biopic on IPS officer Ms Meeran

[@priyageorge1476]

Yami Gautam or Chhaya Kadam would be good to play Meeranji's role. And Cyrus good on you for counselling offered to the police force...

[@vijayv6836]

Cyrus, I loved that T-shirt, " I don't do Coke. I do Pepsi". Wow is that Pepsi's Latest slogan? Okay. Meeran Ma'am was adorable. We need more police officers like her. As you said all the senior-level police officers can form an association or some platform where they could vociferously pitch for good police reforms. Here, all said and done, PM Modi may take her suggestions and ideas seriously. I hope he can listen to her and read her book. From what I gather 1. He's clean 2. If he likes an idea there's no stopping him 3. He's one leader who can translate good ideas into practical reality. I hope it's not my naive optimism.

[@Ab-go9xe]

Adding time stamps would be helpful.

[@strontium74]

What a fine episode!

[@bangtv9359]

Great Respect to Mam👑

[@varshamodak9086]

Nice interview

[@scorpionprinsez]

I feel like Tabu would play her SO well!

[@84sanjaypatil]

'Democracy without Politicians' Is it Possible? Please make it Possible

[@TheNayak12]

Mans are Real ..... agree 💯%

[@ishavatsyayan]

Cyrus this was a tough one for you as she had no BS equally good come backs… and she is quite a strong personality breaking all stereotypes of police person..

[@bhavnaprasad2580]

Two actors to play ma'am - vidya balan and madhuri

[@arunshukla9839]

It seems Cyrus is giving the interview…

[@pandithammultilingualcompu1552]

Awesome 🎉

[@The_Couch_Critic]

Brilliant episode, what a wonderful lasy, hadn't heard of her, unfortunately before today. Feel ashamed

[@thekabir86]

Love you Cyrus

[@prakashrao8165]

Democracy without politicians is a very good suggestion. Who will bell the cat. Responsible citizens should take this seriously

[@afshanfazeel7367]

The apaperback book is not available in USA...

[@romanempire8008]

To answer your question about playing MC Borwankar's role: 1st preference is Priyanka Chopra 2nd preference Yami Gautam

[@littlepenguinsschool2447]

Only Tabu can give justice to her role .

[@MrPraveensagar]

Cyrus is quite wise, n has more ideas on changing the country...he is astute observer of society & govt & politics. ..but he blends it with humour...he shud write a book on serious pov

[@Devicca]

Absolutely 💯

[@familyde]

It's disappointing to share that the episode left me frustrated. The guest had valuable insights, but the host's constant interruptions and inappropriate jokes detracted from the learning experience. The talkative nature of the host turned what could have been a great interview into something annoying and disrespectful. Hopefully, future episodes will showcase a more balanced and respectful conversation.

[@tapschaudhuri]

Agree with you 💯

[@grandmasterjo1]

🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 That’s exactly the Cyrus brand and from the day he could talk his humour was his persona. That’s the typical Cyrus personality 🤪 You think it’s so easy to be so funny His interruption has a tinge of sarcasm, his instant response has a funny crack and his replies as always with some stupid joke 🤪🤪🤪 That’s the brand Cyrus sells and that’s the product his followers love 🤪🤪 It’s amusing to see you upset but even the hard core Police woman found him funny and in the end kudos to Cyrus for exposing the brave honest officer to the realities of the dark political world So please buy the book and read it for uninterrupted Cyrus efx 🤪🤪🤪

[@prodipchakraborty8788]

Absolutely agree with you. The host was more audible than the guest Untrained host absolutely.

[@mh13284]

I don't agree. Cyrus actually prompted her to say multiple really good stories rather than one story on and on. This is a different way to interview isn't the same. It's a light hearted interview, so that's what it'll look like.

[@videoview5179]

He was a comedian

[@huntmaverik1]

The outdated judicary needs a revamp.

[@anyone510]

Guys. This a masterclass on how to interview women in the non toxic way. Yet Crack some jokes!

[@nitingons]

Can someone remind me to watch this ep later? I hv to leave midway... But whatever I watched is damn interesting...

[@CyrusSays]

Karte hai message shaam ko ruko

[@sanchitasishodiar2619]

So much truth ❤️

[@raamcaash]

Tabu will be a perfect casting

[@TheNayak12]

Best episode

[@anjalibharadwaj7337]

Cyrus should learn to let the guest speak, too many interruptions, it's not good, continuity will be lost

[@negikrkatoch4319]

We like you , we'll change the government. But don't mention my name 😂😂😂

[@BritiThaker-nx5kc]

Salute to you Madam
