After Vijay Mallya’s podcast was released on the Raj Shamani YouTube channel, it created a storm on social media. The video, which is around 4 hours long, has been watched by over 1 crore people in just five days.
Lalit Modi was also one of the people who was featured in a podcast with Raj Shamani a few months back. The Lalit Modi podcast on YouTube also made big headlines as he revealed some of the things that never came out before.
Reposting his tweet, the former IPL commissioner didn`t hold back for long, coming out in support of Vijay Mallya, Lalit Modi, while reposting the former United Breweries chief’s post, said, “Well done, your story has to be told.”
Earlier, expressing his gratitude to all the people who took out time and watch his podcast with Raj Shamani. Vijay Mallya took to his social media account X (earlier Twitter) and thanked the people who watched his 4-hour-long podcast.
Mallya, while posting on X, said, “To say that I am humbled and overwhelmed is well short of what I truly feel. A big heartfelt thank you to all those who took the time to watch my 4-hour-plus podcast with @rajshamani. 20 million views on YouTube alone in 4 days and God knows how many more reposts on Instagram and Facebook fill my heart with joy that my true factual story is being heard. May God bless you all.”
In the podcast when Vijay Mallya was asked ‘Will you return to India?’ He replied that if I was assured, then surely I would love to come back to India.
However, both Lalit Modi and Vijay Mallya seem to be clearing their image in front of the people. A podcast is something that they consider a great way to connect and spread their message to a larger number.
