For those who are not aware, Vijay Mallya is an Indian businessman—owner of United Breweries (makers of Kingfisher), Kingfisher Airlines, and founder of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (IPL Cricket Team). He was a prominent figure in India's corporate and social circles.

Things took a major turn when Kingfisher Airlines collapsed due to major debt, and by 2016, Mallya was accused of defaulting on loans over ₹9000 crores — around $1.4 billion USD — borrowed from Indian banks. Authorities alleged that he siphoned off funds and committed financial fraud. However, before he could be arrested, he fled India to the UK and has ever since been in a long and ongoing legal battle for extradition.

Soooo this media appearance is certainly a surprise to Indians after this mess. And just as expected, the episode gave us a LOT of funny and entertaining moments, as Mallya tried to explain his side of the event for 4 hours — which is just him deflecting questions and trying to convince the host that he is a victim of 'false narratives' and 'misinformation' by the media.
This podcast has given us some true gems. If you want to run away from responsibilities and not admit your mistakes, here are 10 phrases to use, as said by the man, Vijay Mallya:
1. When your mother unfairly grounds you because you told your younger sibling that you would put makeup on them but instead doodled on their face:

2. When the aunties start commenting on your weight and looks:

3. When your dad asks you where you 'wasted' your pocket money:

4. When your boss sees you partying on your Insta stories when you were off 'sick', and holds a meeting with you the next day:

5. When your mother asks when you're going to clean your room for the 10th time:

6. When you promise your brother you will pay him back, but he doesn't trust you:

7. When your friend says that you owe them money, but that was the drunk you:

8. When you 'borrow' your sister's favorite dress despite her saying no, and end up dropping ketchup on it:

9. When you sent your younger brother to buy you chips in the crippling heat and your mum confronts you about it:

10. When your mother is yelling at you for reaching home late, but your Uber took ages to book:

This was Vijay Mallya's masterclass of excuses to avoid accountability — and it sure was enlightening! The episode was long but very entertaining. His lines are worthy of a good Bollywood script!
I didn't known financial criminals were this funny.
