    Gajraj Rao on Hindi Poetry, Great Ads, Film Craft and Why Light Conversations Matter | Cyrus Says

    Welcome to Cyrus Says! In this episode of Cyrus Says, Cyrus sits down with Gajraj Rao for a witty, free-flowing conversation about acting, directing, advertising, awards, Hindi poetry, cinema history, social messaging in films, and why not taking yourself too seriously may be the biggest survival skill in the industry. The episode moves from Clint Eastwood’s quiet directing style and Bandit Queen memories to ad filmmaking, podcasting, Kavi Sammelan, and the strange beauty of keeping conversations light while still saying something meaningful. The chat also dives into Gajraj Rao’s award-winning ad work, especially Band Baaja Bitiya, a socially relevant campaign around domestic violence, dowry pressure, and families telling daughters to “adjust” instead of bringing them home. From film trivia and humor to craft, ageing, poetry, and the current entertainment landscape, this is a classic Cyrus-Gajraj episode: sharp, funny, warm, and unexpectedly thoughtful.
