Actor. Engineer. Traveler. Internet’s favorite “perfect boy.”

This week, Amol Parashar sits on the Cupgraded couch and learns why being perfect is the worst crime here. From love confessions to life lessons, awkward fan moments to roasts he didn’t sign up for — this episode is equal parts hilarious, raw, and way too honest.

In this episode:

• Why Amol is too good to be true (and why that’s sus)
• Roast of his love life vs reel life
• From engineering to acting — accidental career choices?
• When fans cross the line
• And why perfection is overrated (especially on our couch)
• Stick around till the end: the roast flips, and we end up questioning our own “imperfections.”

Ft. Amol Parashar with hosts Salonie Patel & Srishti Ganguli

Cupgraded by Rosepod

She said she won’t go there… but she did. From her relationship status to trolls, nepo kids, awkward silences, tattoos, and her very filmy dad’s 90s hits — Akasa spills it all with Srishti & Salonie.

This is Akasa like you’ve never seen her:

From “Thug Ranjha” to “Chamak” – her music journey

The most awkward silences on set

The mosquito song & wrong lyrics roast

Talking trolls, nepo kids & the Bollywood circus

Her worst recording day (and why she still loves Himesh)

Relationship status reveal (yes, we asked)

Mentored by Mika Singh, surviving SonyLiv, and what’s next

Cupgraded isn’t your typical podcast — it’s unfiltered comedy, subtle roast, and the chaos of two girls asking the questions you actually want answers to.

India’s biggest casting director—MUKESH CHHABRA—finally sits with two girls who have zero acting talent, but plenty of questions. From calling Hansal Mehta his “father figure,” to navigating nepotism, discovering hidden talent, and dodging all the weird auditions (and weird people IN auditions), this is a side of Mukesh you don’t get to see often.

He spills on:

How actors REALLY get cast

His friendship with Sushant Singh Rajput

That one time he gave a chance that changed everything

The truth about the “casting couch”

This is heartfelt, hilarious, and humbling—and yes, we also asked him if WE could get cast. Spoiler: we probably won’t. Watch till the end for one of the most honest Bollywood convos out there.
