When Vijay Mallya’s interview appeared on the Internet after nearly 9 years, it got many eye balls. It was released immediately after RCB won their maiden IPL trophy after 18 years of inception. The views were nearly 20 million in a span of few days.
Many people were curious to know as to how did Raj Shamani managed to convince Mallya for a podcast when the fugitive has been evading media since 2016.
The podcaster recently revealed on The Great Indian Kapil Show on how he met Vijay Mallya and it is quite surprising.
Shamani’s revelation, though now not completely revealed by the teaser, has left the audience and the fellow guests just stunned. It even promises a must-watch moment.
Raj Shamani reveals an unplanned encounter with Vijay Mallya
Raj Shamani, in talks with Kapil Sharma, recounted that he spotted Vijay Mallya while he was on a casual walk in London. Without any hesitation, he walked to the controversial businessmen and asked, “Sir, do you know who I am?” Mallya bluntly responded to his question with a “No.” Shamani, undeterred, asked him, “Do you know what a podcast is?” Again, the response was a clear “No.”
Despite the awkward start and the lack of recognition, Shamani was able to manage and convince Mallya to appear on his podcast. Such a hilarious yet bold approach left the fellow guests, and Kapil Sharma impressed.
The episode, which will soon stream on Netflix on 26th July, showcases it all just perfectly. It brings forward the unfiltered storytelling style of Shamani, making it one of the season’s most talked-about moments.
Podcasters on The Great Indian Kapil Show take the center stage
The upcoming Great Indian Kapil Show’s particular episode, as revealed in the teaser, will bring some popular podcasters and journalists, including Raj Shamani, Saurabh Dwivedi, Kamiya Jani and Samdish Bhatia. The dynamic group in the teaser can be seen sharing their unique experiences within the digital content space. However, the Mallya anecdote of Shamani is likely to get the maximum limelight.
Kapil Sharma, an celeb who is particularly known for his witty humor, ensured to playfully tease his guests. Even the podcasters didn’t stay behind, and Bhatia jokingly asked if Shamani would talk to the “commoners” now? The entire light-hearted banter and some behind-the-scenes stories have made the upcoming episode a must watch.
