Shamik Chakrabarti's TOP 5 Hot Takes

from Moment of Silence · host Sakshi Shivdasani and Naina Bhan

Hellloooo Mossies, you’re in for a treat this week because THE MYSTERIOUS MR. SHAMIK CHAKRABARTI is in the house. Sakshi & Naina dug deep into what makes Shamik tick with answers to widely requested questions like what is his favourite colour and what is it like staring at the tree outside his window in Bandra. Then, because there are never enough comedians getting into controversies, we asked him for his hot takes, and boy were they hot. From putting a ban on celebrity couples to hating on people in Zone 1 Boarding, to demanding that shellfish get out of their shells already - this episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, if a rollercoaster is full of emotions involving laughter. Finally the take that is hotter than the heat of a thousand suns is that we need to be at 100k already - so go SUBSCRIBE and like and comment and share and hype and spread the word of MOS far and wide. 00:00 Shamik Chakrabarti on the pod02:50- Shamik's favourite colour03:39- Is Shamik dating?05:40- Pop or Flopcorn07:17- Celebrity couples and brand deals08:42- Celebrities who follow Shamik11:03- Behind the Vimal Elaichi ad13:11-Should India have a civil score?17:28- Women making civil arrests?18:23- Taxi app feature we need20:28- Dutch food review23:07- Men should be arrested for this?25:13- Dating as a single child27:31- Younger vs elder siblings28:47- Men with lower back tattoos30:33- Hot take on picky eaters33:14- OG stand-up comedians42:24- Why karaoke is overrated46:03- Shamik's biggest pet peeveShamik Chakrabarti:https://www.instagram.com/shamikchakrabarti/?hl=enhttps://l1nq.com/154goc1Follow MoS on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=enCredits:Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinkerhttps://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...Sakshi Shivdasani - Co-host, balancing out Naina’s overthinking with a healthy dose of not thinkinghttps://www.instagram.com/sakshishivdasani/?hl=enResearched by our very own curiosity engineer and directed by- Aashna Sharma https://www.linkedin.com/in/aashna-sharma-913146179Senior Producer- Amruta P. https://www.linkedin.com/in/amruta-bandivdekar-01879925Produced by "Vertical by Handmade" - Our personal cheering squad https://www.instagram.com/verticalbyhandmade?igsh=NG1vdXd5bWdsdWI3Creative direction by Tinkre, Keeper of MoS' signature “Pookie” energy Natascha Mehrahttps://www.instagram.com/tinkre.in/?hl=enhttps://www.instagram.com/natascha.zip/?hl=en Reel Editor - Yug Vermahttps://www.instagram.com/bass_abhiyug?igsh=MnlibHdsbG56MjNl&utm_source=qrDisclaimer: The views and opinions expressed by guests are entirely their own and do not necessarily reflect those of the hosts, the production team, or the brand.
