MUMBAI: Bhakhtyar Irani, who was last seen in Tere Ishq Mein Ghayal, has started a podcast called Chuddy Buddy. He is inviting actors from the industry who are friends and asking them fun questions. He came up with the idea of the show with his friend Ali Asgar, and he said the whole idea of the show is for the guests to have fun and nothing serious.  

He said, “There has always been a podcast with one person. 'What do you think your career moves are? You did this, you did that. What do you think about this? What do you think about that?' So there is one mic, one host, and the person giving the interview. Now, different people have different podcasts. This is a unique podcast. It's something where they have been given mics; they need to answer, but they also play Dumb Charades. Answer through gestures; find answers through your gestures.”  

“On the podcast, which food they like, which color they prefer—those scrapbook-style questions are not in our show. We provide situations like, for example, if Tanaz has a kilogram of cake at night and she has sex, what will she choose? So, Kashmira Shah answers, 'She will choose one kilogram of cake.' And we had already asked Tanaz all the questions beforehand, and the answer was right. So, how well do they know each other? So in our show, there is fun and laughter, but not some serious moments. Not about career, family, or any gossip,” he added.  

He further said that they realized that their content on Instagram is mostly comedy, and it should reflect in their show.  

“So in those fifteen to twenty minutes, someone watching our show will laugh and ask their friend these four questions and will also make notes. In their minds, they'll wonder, How much does this guy really know about me? So, these are the questions that they would ask. like how I just wanted everyone, like young stars, to play 'Koffee with Karan with each other,' like the rapid fire round and all the jazz. We don't have anything like that. We have situations, fun; it's a different kind of podcast because they dance, they have fun, they act standing.“  

“It is a totally different podcast than the normal podcast. In a fifteen-minute show, these people are standing for ten minutes; that's how it is. So, we're looking at friendship in the industry. So we have selected celebrities who are friends, and if, for example, we selected Sherlyn Chopra, we talked to her, and we asked her if she doesn't have any friends, then she said, 'In the industry, there is nothing like friendship,' so we had to ask her questions, and how she answered, what she answered, you will get to know in the episode,” he ended.
