Is telling your partner what to wear okay? feat. Raunaq Rajani
2026/08/28
Helloo people of MOS, this week on Moment of Silence we had the internet's resident relationshit-stirrer visit us in the studio for a very special Rakhi episode. That’s right: the much requested Sir Raunaq Rajani took over the couch and delivered a year’s worth of chaos: on evergreen IP secrets, yoga class exploitation, a detention arc, and the life-changing experience of wearing MOS merch for the first time. After spilling some tea (and only one whole cup of coffee), Raunaq and Sakshi went head to head on whether ganjis are acceptable sleep fashion and we still do not have a conclusive answer so we are leaving it in the comments where it belongs. Safe to say Raunaq is now a certified Mosquito after this one so hit that play button and say a little prayer for our couch while you are at it. Speaking of prayers: did you know all of yours will be answered if we hit 100k? Better go subscribe NOW. One of your eyebrows might fall off if you don’t do it. See you next week! 00:00 – we’re already unhinged 00:30 – Raunaq Rajani is here on public demand 01:01 – Raunaq’s raksha bandhan story ft. his wife, the main character 03:30 – Youtube algorithm 04:44 – Raunaq praising Sunny Kaushal 06:25 – Naina's debut on Relationshit advice 09:02 – popcorn & flopcorn 09:23 – fitness era 11:27 – Govinda, Sunita Ahuja & maybe Ravi Kishan 16:54 – Raunaq's take on the protest 23:20 – why does Raunaq choose *these* podcasts? 25:22 – internet hate 30:19 – Raunaq vs. the Instagram algorithm 31:25 – gen z really did grow up on the internet 32:10 – reality shows come calling 33:22 – dating for 7 years before saying “i do” 38:31 – the double date story ft. ganji 50:11 – men, beauty & brand deals 56:00 – scammed by a dog whisperer 01:02:45 – this story is basically a warm hug 01:11:27 – if you’re still here, hit subscribe Follow Raunaq Rajani on IG and YouTube: https://www.instagram.com/sirraunaqrajani/?hl=en https://www.youtube.com/ ⁨@RaunaqRajani⁩  Follow MoS on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/momentofsilencepod/reels/?hl=en Credits: Naina Bhan - Co-host and certified overthinker https://www.instagram.com/nainabee?ig...

Are we delusional in love? feat. Prashasti Singh
2026/07/31
Hellooo Mossies, cancel the ab workout because this episode will have you laughing your way to that 6-pack. The hilarious, awe-inspiring, gorgeous Prashasti Singh walked into the MOS studio and did not stop delivering for a single second. Prashasti shared her workout woes and the struggles of being a celeb at the gym. We tried to bring up role models for Indian women and somehow ended up with an iconic story about a microwave donation scheme. Prashasti then gave us a sneak peek into what it really means to come to terms with being single, thriving in your 30s on your own terms, and her very specific ritual of pining before channeling it into comedy gold. Safe to say, this one’s a little unhinged, and A LOT of fun. Okay now go like, share, comment, hype, subscribe & help us get to 100k if you want to atone for your sins.

Best Friend Or Boyfriend - Who Would You Save?
2026/07/10
Hiii Mossies, no need to hold your horses (unless your horse just wants a hug) because WE’RE BACK with another episode this fine evening! Naina is freshly returned from the land of our colonizers and sooo ready to give us the lowdown with stories involving wrong trains, airport divorces and a plea for a mandatory photography course for the boyfriends of gorgeous women. Trains seemed to be a recurring theme this episode as we also tried to solve the trolley problem and debated some very pressing moral dilemmas such as: Should you betray your best friend with a chopped pic on her birthday? Does your daughter deserve a stanley? What if the birkin of husbands wanted to leave your bestfriend for you? Can the European trip reeeally wait when your son is failing maths?The answers to all this, and then a classic twist on the classic trolley problem. Speaking of moral compasses (moral compii) you should really check yours because it’s broken if you haven’t subscribed yet.
