Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast welcomes you to its first proper episode of 2022 with the next installment of our Other Khans: this time featuring Fawad Khan.

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast bids goodbye to the year with friend of the show Get Filmy as we discuss the one Bollywood star who was everywhere during the pandemic: Akshay Kumar.

We also throw in reviews of Netflix's noir thriller Aranyak starring...

Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast is all about the wedding season in 2021.

Episode 97 of KHANDAAN: A BOLLYWOOD PODCAST is here with Yamini (aka @pappuchaaru on Twitter).
