  • Like being friends with the cool kids from the 90s

And if you are watching random stuff like thank you for coming why not w... more

    I'm Anukriti Pandey from Varanasi,Uttar Pradesh,India and I started listening to the Khandan podcast as a part of recommended material in JioMAMI's Rashid Irani Film Critics Lab 2021.Right from the first few episodes I was engaged to the mesmerising voices of Asim and Sujoy.It was only much later I discovered what they looked like which was surprising for sure.

    All of it is so natural,the atmosphere,the jokes,jibes at each other...

    The reason I've listened to every single minute of this podcast ... more
