    Dhurandhar 2, BTS, and Hannah Montana: A week of comebacks
    Mar 28 2026
    It was officially the week of comebacks. In this episode of Casually Obsessed, Niharika, Aishwarya, and Shruti cover three massive comebacks that took over the internet this week.

    Dhurandhar: The Revenge — The Bacha Hai Tu Mera meme era is upon us. We break down why Jameel Jamali has become everybody's favourite slimy character, the insane meme economy this film has generated, and why the Dhurandhar fever is NOT dying down anytime soon.

    BTS is back!— After 3 years and 9 months, RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook reunited at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul for a free live concert streamed on Netflix to 18.4 million viewers worldwide. Their comeback album ARIRANG is rooted in Korean culture and identity. We discuss the 14-track record, the mixed fan reactions, the song Swim, and what it means for K-pop globally.

    It's a HAN-iversary! — Miley Cyrus returned to celebrate 20 years of Hannah Montana with a Disney+ special hosted by Alex Cooper. Billy Ray Cyrus was there, Selena Gomez popped up, Chappell Roan showed up to say "you walked so I could run," and Miley casually confirmed she once dated Dylan Sprouse. We are in full nostalgia mode.

    Mar 14 2026
    This week on Casually Obsessed, Aishwarya and Niharika are flying solo, Shruti's out sick, but she picked the topics, so her chaotic energy is very much present.

    They are breaking down the Dhurandhar: The Revenge trailer. Will Ranveer Singh rule Karachi? Will Yelena point that gun where we think she will? And is Uzair Baloch secretly the hero we deserve?

    Then it's a quick detour through London high society, Smriti Mandhana's Barbie moment, and the kind of Hannah Montana nostalgia that will have you humming Hoedown Throwdown for the rest of the day.

    Farah Khan's Dilip, Bharti Singh's LOL: Is YouTube a new career path for celebrities?
    Mar 9 2026
    The social media era has fueled a massive surge in content creation, significantly expanding the YouTube ecosystem. From Farah Khan to Sonakshi Sinha, from Deepika Kakkar Ibrahim to Bharti Singh, several Bollywood celebrities have begun their journeys on the video streaming platform—not as a side hobby, but as content creators. While the Main Hoon Na director gave the internet its beloved “Dilip,” Alia Bhatt advocated healthy eating with her viral “beetroot raita,” and the Dabangg actor continues to impress fans with her impeccable makeup skills.

    In this episode of Casually Obsessed, we dive deep into the YouTube ecosystem and unpack how A-list celebrities are embracing the platform to offer fans a sneak peek into their everyday lives. We also address the internet’s growing obsession (ours included) with Bridgerton Season 4, swooning over the steamy chemistry between Benedict and Sophie.

The show returned in February, with Benedict Bridgerton navigating his feelings and “yearning” for Sophie Baek, who is just a maid. As this Mayfair season ends, we analyse the entire season 4, including the famous bathtub scene. Did we like it? Dearest gentle listeners, it is for you to find out!

    Moving on, we dive into Netflix’s limited series, “Museum of Innocence.” Based on Orhan Pamuk’s novel, the series, which is set in Istanbul, follows a wealthy man and his infatuation with his distant relative.We also discuss the upcoming book adaptations that are slated for 2026.

  • Shahid, our forever crush: The Padmaavat fallout, the Kareena reunion and everything in between

    Shahid, our forever crush: The Padmaavat fallout, the Kareena reunion and everything in between
    Feb 21 2026
    He was the background dancer in Dil To Pagal Hai. He became the angry young man of Kabir Singh.

    But who is Shahid Kapoor really?This week on Casually Obsessed, we go full detective mode on Bollywood’s most versatile (and maybe most misunderstood) actor. Shruti is losing her mind over his Vivah era, Niharika is defending her questionable movie choices (Kismat Konnection. Anyone? Someome?) , and Aishwarya is serving unpopular opinions.

    In this episode, we ask the real questions:
    Did Shahid get robbed of his due in Padmaavat... or did he just handle it wrong?
    Why do actors have to go "toxic" just to revive their careers? (Yes, we went there.)
    And is there a hidden Shakespearean tragedy linking Shahid, Kareena, and Saif?

    AND....you haven't lived until you've heard:
    Shruti’s dramatic reenactment of Shahid's dialogues, the real reason we all think we are Geet, but are actually Aditya and Niharika’s hot take on Kismat Konnection that will leave you shook.Warning: Contains extreme fangirling, brutal honesty, and a debate about AI girlfriends that nobody asked for.

    AI Valentine vs Human Valentine: Who Wins? K-Dramas, ofc
    Feb 14 2026
    AI is polite, emotionally available, and always says yes. So, in this Valentine’s-coded episode of Casually Obsessed, we ask: would AI make the perfect boyfriend, or are we inviting a robo-rising? From ChatGPT marriages to solo dates with chatbots, we debate why people are choosing tech over humans.

    We also share a quick Valentine’s weekend watchlist (Oh Romeo, 'Tu Yaa Main' , and why Wuthering Heights is a risky and risqué pick), before diving into the K-wave: the K-dramas, food, skincare, and cultural obsession that’s taken over Indian screens (and hearts).

    Tune in right now!

  • 'Be my mistress?' and other crimes against romance

    'Be my mistress?' and other crimes against romance
    Feb 7 2026
    “Benedict is not ready to take a wife.”
    “For sure. For sure. For sure.”
    And honestly? We wanted to punch someone through the screen too.

    This week, we’re spiralling over Bridgerton season 4, 'outraging' over “iconic” jewellery being treated like mere red-carpet aesthetic at the Wuthering Heights premiere.

    And because it’s Casually Obsessed, we also talk Netflix announcements and upcoming titles, including Mismatched Season 4, Mamla Legal Hai Season 2, and Lust Stories 3.

    Stay tuned!
