[@Coldpastaarts]

This will be one of my favourite episode from now till eternity The way they shared the knowledge through art was something to remember by I have very few podcast episode where I revisit but this one for some reason is getting it's more than half views from me

[@mannydiv5764]

😅

[@soumak_das]

Agreed

[@mandarkulkarni_]

'An actor has 7 years where the camera romances them'. WOW. Distinct perspective, candid cuss, and thorough passion for art, this episode had all the checks. Thanks for this as always, team CCT!

[@meamandwivedi]

Anyone noticed that at 5.20 Vir made a very subtle comment with regards to the current state of journalism in such a light manner! First he calls the owner of Times of India group Vineet jain "Wo the", then corrects himself by saying " wo abhi hain, bus news gujar chuki hai" in such a nonchalant way displaying his razor sharp wittiness.

[@dishantverma2291]

Vir Has such a unique taste in everything. You expect him to say something mainstream and he'll just say something random that gives you perspective rather than what you wanted to hear . Great Episode !!!

[@madhurasrinivas]

Great call out on David Letterman. Because not many mainstream comedians in the US call him out on his extremely inappropriate behaviour. I'm very apprehensive about Louis CK after all that news came out about him. Loved this conversation. Vir Das is so incredibly intelligent and wise. Since I'm closer to him in age, I can relate to literally everything he says.

[@ananttomer4]

This episode uplifted my mood. I was having a bad week. Vir das is now in my list of people with good vibes. Thanks chalchitra for having me him.

[@theaditisingh.]

Of all the interviews of Vir in the past few years, this one felt light and was a nice friendly conversation. 💛

[@bongmonk]

i just love this guy's perspective.. we need more such individuals in society.... Vir command on his language is so good that he can explain his thought process and simplify it.

[@ivikas_roy]

I really liked vir is doing this introducing new local artist of different fields on his shows. Good job vir :)

[@Kamran_Waseem]

Love the thought of flashing pictures of the references ♥️

[@aj.paisor]

Great conversation 👏 Har city tour pr local artists, fashion designers ke sath collab krna, unko kind of stage dena was too good ❤

[@theprnvanand]

Love watching these as always.

[@parashar4690]

Wow, what an amazing conversation, very educated and aware discussion about the art, the life and other stuff, loved it

[@vivekminer4015]

Superb episode and you guys are getting such great guests … more power to Chalchitra Team !!!!

[@ShubhraPandey]

You're half bihari... Omg... Love love love that... ❤ i also belong to bihar

[@bhrigu5769]

why does he keep saying he is not smart enough. He seems more emotionally intelligent than most people

[@Sanket_Malwade]

" An actor has Seven years where the camera romances them "

[@devynkumar1997]

This is the realest Vir has been on any interview...

[@simonrobin9416]

The more we listen to Vir, the more we get to know him as a person. He is at peace with himself and his environment plus he is contributing to the society in his own special way. Our best wishes to him!!!!

[@dishavirk6484]

Such a light and heartful conversation❤ Thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.

[@gauravbumb]

Cant help but notice his beard style is looking like Venom's eyes.

[@doodlesbysk]

Thankyou so much for doing this one. So excited to watch this.

[@geetasingh1590]

Hamaraa U.P+Bihari ladka.Most hardworking genius.❤.Khush rahiye,tarakki kariye.Aapko sabka pyaar mile.🎉

[@chakrabortypc]

such a light hearted convo , loved it

[@user-ys9zt5hf8b]

What an interview Sirji, first time I am seeing your podcast and I love it. Is it possible for listing out all the movies, shows, books, audio books.

[@dipakjha791]

Great conversation, great guy

[@adnanshaikh558]

LOVED EVERY SECOND OF THIS POD

[@riawhy_]

[@blahzada1962]

I like veer he is nice and honest and good at his work. And what he is going for other people I mean we need more people like him. I watch most of your podcasts. From Pakistan love from here keep doing great work

[@yatharthyatharth8010]

We need Dibyendu bhattacharya to add on the charm to chalchitra ✨

[@bongquisitive]

Great conversation!

[@freak.920]

can we have .... Harshvardhan kapoor on this channel 🛐🛐🛐 or bring our rohan joshi sir for one more time here

[@Sanket_Malwade]

The best thing I have seen this month saying my birthday is 1st Oct

[@aasifali9139]

this is the best episode for me on chalchitra.

[@abby77]

So much to learn from Vir. Best chat.

[@kreatorsparadise45]

Can anybody tell me the name of the music in the end.....?!? 🙏🙏🙏

[@dineshdaddala2043]

Kanche - great telugu movie about two soldiers from india who joins British fighting the Nazi forces during World War II..must watch

[@syedriyazpeeran9837]

Waiting for this podcast for long time

[@manmeetkaur7788]

To anyone who feels that Vaibhav is disinterested, it's not the case here. It's more like someone wiser or maybe not wiser but with a different perspective sharing their story. Very unusual from the usual ye show Dekha, vo show, ye acting but more of life and genuiness. And please note the age difference here like a 40-year-old trying to give a worldview to a 29-year-old. Especially the part when Vir talks about masculinity and that exchange of energy thing. To people our age we find stuff like this beautiful but when you grow up a bit you realize the importance of it. Also, Vir Das has this quality of simplicitaly explaining complex stuff and a distinctively unique perspective and he is not a person who pretends. So that is that. It's a great podcast. If anyone is willing to listen do listen and don't judge by the comments here. Make your viewpoint.

[@Dj-td1dx]

Loved it!

[@sarcode_17]

anything with vir das is on my watch list.

[@mayursolanki2804]

[@hammadshaikh4278]

Great guy 🎉

[@frozendream8431]

24:55 There's a good Telugu film called Kanche (Fence) made on WWII talking about a small group among the 60,000 soldiers who were sent from India to fight.

[@KashishSharma93]

there is also sajjan singh rangroot in punjabi on WWI

[@its_a_joke_Aamir]

​@@KashishSharma93 I have watched sajan singh movie but it's not what i was expected it focuses more on love

[@its_a_joke_Aamir]

Thanks for the suggestion, I will watch this one

[@somyaarora4378]

Subscribed coz you got Vir ❤

[@nimishdubey5063]

[@rajpalsinghkheechee2379]

vibe hai

[@ra5hid101]

Vid Das is my fav but most of my friends hate him so hard to find a companion to his show LoooL.

[@Thekabiraggarwal]

this interview made me subscribe you❤

[@saarthakshrivastava5559]

❤❤

[@hritiksanghavi3608]

I like how there’s a little mention of Matthew Perry in this episode

[@shivaroychowdhury5020]

In hacksaw ridge, Garfield is a pacifist, not a doctor. I guess he went as a medic.

[@nobimicheal1780]

This is it. From now on this is what you'll forever want to recreate and probably fail to achieve....like a heroin addict. Best episode!

[@krishjain1239]

nice.

[@thatguywithm]

Stoked for this Episode!

[@aamirkhan943]

Baked for this episode!

[@Akash-wz2dq]

[@nonedone]

Benned for this episode

[@nehamordia6409]

We named our dog Sirius Black :-)

[@atharvagarud5115]

Very nice episode......but is Vaibhav's hairstyle going towards the hairstyle of Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear 2003?

[@valadimostok]

you should have asked him about the "dream of stadium performance" progress

[@rockymehra6887]

Rythm breaking is new We had creator breaking bad in our show😂

[@apoorvsingh_ASR]

Hello from a Bihari! ❤😜

[@tanmaybaswal7993]

Someone post down all the movies mentioned here...

[@vilearninglife4723]

Khushi ke aansu hearing Vir is half bihari. ❤

[@sapna7708]

I love Jeeturaaj. And I love Vir. But I didn't know jeeturaaj changes. How. 😮

[@karanpatel1346]

tuta hua dil and sangit is a constant for Vaibhav

[@ankitashokrungta6082]

Can we get West Wing back in India? Just love that show. Still craving to watch it after those 3 times which I have already watched..

[@spandanbose194]

If anyone understood 9/11 reference please explain.

[@chetansanil]

Brilliant! Thanks guys.

[@Docta123]

YESSS Indians need to understand this Dave Chappelle yahan ayega to 5 minutes m rone lagega You have to compare the audience first when you're comparing comics

[@vinaykshinoda]

1:04:19 me to bro

[@babayaga5502]

KING KHAN😎🤩

[@FilmyDost007]

Snape never loved Harry and didn't cared about him or James whether they died...he begged Dumbledore just because for Lily and he saved Harry because he sees Lily in Harry because he got his mother's eyes

[@maitrakhatri]

32:05

[@rohitkale3909]

Okay so profanity in English is cool but in Hindi should be beeped?... Thanks for establishing that! Anyways... Great podcast!

[@kanavkatoch6446]

Vir Das loves Ranveer Allahabadia😂😂😂

[@mushtaqmandhra62]

14/11/2023

[@eluna34]

Please, please, please, I am begging for subtitles in English lol. White person floundering here xD

[@bongmonk]

bare minimum if the youth learns to hear full podcasts... you love or hate the guest.. it will at least allow them to inculcate patience in life.

[@carolinetanyajose4533]

🩵

[@gk-bc4di]

Subtitles 😢

[@anandthethriller4362]

Hopefully they add later.

[@Hidimbi439]

In Dunkirk, there should be Indian soldiers, but they conveniently omitted them. I somehow think Nolan doesnot like Indians.

[@Bhushan_99]

comment

[@AartiSharmabackagain]

But trevor noah has brought on a lot of diverse guests! So kinda disagree there with him!

[@nixtr3sharma]

is it just me or does Vaibhav feel uninterested in this interview?

[@neetika1402]

Vir not mentioning Kanan Gill is kind of an anomaly.

[@Zindagi_ek_kavita]

Bro, have eye contact with the guest while they are talking. Its just disrespectful. just a suggestion.

[@abhisheknambiar7690]

Frankly i am a little disappointed

[@Randomguy48279xyz]

Baki ab to theek h but sadly vir das is not a comedian

[@LokeshWritesCode]

👎👎👎

[@ds16745]

recently discovered your channel and really wish to follow these podcasts religiously but your distractingly repetitive use of the word *like makes it very hard ..don’t know if anyone’s ever said this earlier but would really appreciate if you could improve on this going forward

[@careless_abhii]
