In 2020, I asked Partha to connect me to a few people for my podcast. He connected me to one of India’s top directors, Shoojit Sircar. The podcast with Shoojit turned into ongoing chat over the next two years. When Shoojit first talked about making a movie on me, I thought this was the biggest prank Partha had played on me. It was the connection from him that set the ball rolling for the movie, I Want To Talk.

I was very excited that Partha and his wife Chaitali were the first to see the movie outside of the core group. In this podcast, Partha, a brilliant mind who guided the conversation so effortlessly into the depth of the heart, but never making it too serious. Thank you Partha for being you, always.

Life is never over till it is over.
“I Want to Talk” is a story of crossing one hurdle at a time.
You play differently when you know you are going to win the game.
The screen Arjun had the advantage of knowing that he will make it in the end.
Sometimes bad ideas can trigger amazing ideas.
Talking comes with responsibility. Words once spoken, are out there forever.
If we give up, we will never know what life can bring for us.

Abhishek Bachchan's first podcast ever! When the movie, I Want to Talk was being filmed in Hemet California, I always wanted to ask Abhishek Bachchan (the Movie Arjun) how he felt being Arjun. As I got to know him, I was more intrigued by his level of professionalism and dedication. The filming ended and we never got a chance to have that Arjun to Arjun conversation.

In my healing journey, I had marked 100 days, 1,000 days, 5,000 days and 10,000 days. The 10,000th day was February 5th, 2024. That night I was up all night. As I browsing the net, I realized February 5th was Abhishek’s birthday. I reached out to him to wish him a happy birthday and both of us realized it was destiny that our paths crossed.

Now, just before the launch of the movie we finally had the Arjun to Arjun conversation. It was simply from his heart. So here it is. Please do not miss the end of the conversation when Abhishek shared his wish for me. All I can say is that his words left me speechless.

Episode 19: Be Responsible and Not Just Smart

Secrets to Win Big with Arjun Sen brings you leaders from around the world and all walks of life.

S01E19: Be Responsible and Not Just Smart with VIP Guest Agni Sen Sep 30, 2020

This podcast conversation with Agni Sen, a 14-year old, will make you go “Hmm”!

A thought leader is someone whose one thought or action makes us all pause and think… “Hmm why did I not think about that?” That one "Hmm" has the potential of completely changing our world as we start seeing things differently. The world is never the same after a “Hmm” moment.

My conversation with this young man hit me with quite a few “Hmm” moments. One of those moments happened when Agni shared, “The key to success is to have different milestones from the rest”. Think of the power of this statement. If you and I, both are running the same marathon, you may need to hydrate every 5 miles. I may need to pause every mile, be proud of my accomplishment, hydrate, and then run the next mile. Finding our personal-needed milestones is critical for our individual success. This conversation is full of “Hmm” moments like that. I am immensely proud of Agni... a little more because he is my nephew.

It is my personal pleasure to share the launch of this episode of Secrets to Win Big with VIP Guest Agni Sen.
