London, June 6, 2025 – In a surprising turn of events, controversial businessman Vijay Mallya has broken his long silence through a podcast, where he addressed the controversies surrounding his name, his business downfall, and his possible return to India.
💥 “I Owe an Apology”—But There’s a Twist
Mallya began the podcast with a rare apology directed at the employees of Kingfisher Airlines.
“For those who care to know the truth, I’ve spoken after nine years. I apologize to the employees of Kingfisher and want to finally share the real facts,” he stated.
He was emotional but firm, claiming he’s not a criminal:
“Where is the theft? What exactly did I steal?” he asked.
⚖️ Ready to Return—but With Conditions
Mallya said he is open to returning to India—but only if he receives a guarantee of a fair trial and respectful treatment.
“I’ll return the moment I’m assured of justice. Not before that,” he emphasized.
🚨 Not a Fugitive, Just a Victim?
While accepting that he left India amid legal chaos, Mallya strongly denied being a “thief” or fraud. He expressed frustration over how his narrative has been shaped by the media and politics over the years.
🏦 “Ease of Doing Business” in India is a Lie, Says Mallya
In a bold statement, Mallya criticized India’s business climate, saying:
“There is no real ease of doing business. It’s all a myth. Extreme rules and red tape are part of India’s DNA.”
He claimed he had to maintain ties with 29 different Chief Ministers just to run his company.
😂 Comedian’s Take Goes Viral
Comedian Shubham Gaur’s reaction to Mallya’s podcast stole the internet spotlight. In a hilarious reel, he joked that Mallya spoke so convincingly, it made people feel like they owed him money instead. The internet can’t stop laughing.
📈 Podcast Drops, Internet Erupts
The episode has triggered massive online buzz. Some praised Mallya’s honesty, while others felt it was strategic, especially after RCB’s IPL victory—reminding everyone of his once-glamorous ownership of the franchise.
