Raj Shamani, the podcaster who interviewed Vijay Mallya, and many Bollywood celebrities, has made his podcasts one of the most popular in the country. Born in July 1997, he has a reported net-worth of Rs 91 crore.
At the age of 16, he sold products under his own brand, Jadugar Drop, contributing to his father’s business, Shamani Industries.
He was one of the guests on Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show along with Kamya Jaani, Saurabh Dwivedi, and Samdish. When Kapil Sharma asked Raj about interviewing Vijay Mallya, he smiled and said he was just walking on the streets in London, he approached him for an interview and he said.
As Kapil Sharma cheekily introduces them, “Inn chaaro ne lagbhag har bade celebrity ka interview le liya hai, aur inn sabke wishlist mein ek common naam tha, toh socha ki chaaro ko ek saath mein hi bula loon!”
From political to celebrity banter and everything in between, these four are known for asking tough questions and serving harder truths. But on Kapil’s turf? The vibe is different and definitely more dhamaakedaar.
And oh, the stories they tell. From on-ground interviews that veered into risky territory, to once-in-a-lifetime scoops, Saurabh and Samdish open up about what it really takes to chase a good story. Raj Shamani finally reveals how he convinced Vijay Mallya to sit down for his most coveted and longest interview to date. Meanwhile, Kamiya Jani breaks it to us gently, the true way to a celeb’s heart isn’t controversy, it’s a great meal.
Just when things seem under control, the Kapil gang gets involved. Sona and Mona (Krushna and Kiku) decide it’s time for some “investigative comedy” as they launch a dramatic search for the guests’ so-called trade secrets. And of course, Engineer Chumbak Mittal (Sunil Grover) brings in his vlogs, and his loyal fanbase (currently four people strong, maybe three), to convince the podcasters to join his ever-growing “following.”
