Raunaq Rajani
Hosted by Raunaq Rajani
A live comedy show where Indian stand-ups share their own love life mishaps before giving terrible, unqualified advice to audience members.
This is a live comedy panel show, recorded in a club and consumed as a video podcast. The host, Raunaq Rajani, brings on three other comedians to first discuss their own personal love lives—often in messy, hilarious detail. They then read relationship problems submitted by the audience and proceed to give intentionally bad, nonsensical advice, with the core premise being that they are the last people who should be counseling others.
“Unlike typical advice podcasts, 'RelationSh!t Advice' is built on the explicit premise of giving *bad* advice for comedic effect. Its live, interactive format, where the panel's chemistry and riffs with the audience are central, makes it feel more like a chaotic hangout with friends than a structured show.”

What you'll be asked on this show
As a panel moderator, Raunaq's style is conversational and instigative. He opens by asking each guest a variation of, "How is your relationship status?" to kickstart personal anecdotes. He probes for comedic details with questions like, "What is the conflict of interest between you and your girlfriend?" or "Were you the toxic one in the relationship?" rather than challenging guests. He often uses callbacks to stories from previous episodes to build continuity and inside jokes. His primary role is to set up his fellow comedians for punchlines and guide the collective roasting of audience problems.
The show is a live panel discussion moderated by Raunaq Rajani, who facilitates a free-flowing conversation among his comedian guests. Each episode opens with personal relationship updates from the panelists before moving on to audience questions. The style is highly interactive, with frequent engagement and questions directed at the live audience.
