It’s the interview nobody saw coming, but everybody is talking about.
After nearly a decade of silence, Vijay Mallya—once hailed as the “King of Good Times,” and later labeled a fugitive—has finally broken his silence. And not in a press conference or court statement… but on a podcast.
Raj Shamani, one of India’s most-followed content creators, sat down with Mallya for a deep, no-holds-barred four-hour conversation that’s got the entire internet buzzing.
🤔 Wait, Vijay Mallya Gave a Podcast Interview?
Yup. That actually happened.
The episode is titled:
“Vijay Mallya Podcast: Rise & Downfall Of Kingfisher Airlines, Loans & RCB | FO364”
And it’s racked up millions of views within days of dropping.
This wasn’t just a PR move. It felt raw, honest, and even emotional at times.
🔑 Key Moments You Have to Know
- He Apologized — Publicly
For the first time, Mallya apologized to the employees of Kingfisher Airlines — people who haven’t been paid in years.
“I want to say sorry to the employees… and also set the record straight with facts and the truth.”
He didn’t just brush it off. He acknowledged the emotional and financial impact it had on people’s lives. - “Call Me a Fugitive, But Don’t Call Me a Chor”
In one of the most quoted lines from the podcast, Mallya says:
“If you want to call me a fugitive, go ahead. But where is the ‘chor’ coming from? Where is the ‘chori’?”
He strongly denies any intentional wrongdoing or theft, claiming he never took money with the intent of not paying it back. - Would He Come Back to India? Maybe.
Here’s the kicker—Mallya might return to India if he gets assurance of a fair trial and dignified treatment.
He also cited past UK court concerns about the condition of Indian prisons. It’s clear he wants justice on his own terms—and he’s watching closely.
😂 The Internet Did Its Thing…
As expected, social media went wild.
Comedian Shubham Gaur summed it up perfectly in a viral video:
“Paise to hume usse ulta lautane hai… saala hum chor ban gaye!”
Translation? “We should be returning money to him… and we’re the ones being called thieves!”
Memes, reels, and hot takes have flooded Instagram and X (Twitter), turning this podcast into a full-blown content fest.
💡 Why This Interview Matters
- It’s Mallya’s first public interview in 9 years
- He addresses the Kingfisher collapse, loan issues, and media perception
- It opens up a national conversation on public shaming, legal fairness, and redemption
Whether you believe him or not, this was a bold move—and one that’s clearly struck a nerve across India.
