From House Exit to Licious Infiniti: Cyrus Broacha Shares ‘Infinite’ Insights Amidst Friends’ Heartfelt Backing
After posting a cryptic video yesterday and leaving his fans and followers wanting to know more, on why exactly did he leave the coveted ‘house’, Cyrus Broacha has finally opened up in a latest video posted on his Instagram today. Bashing all speculation and squashing all bizarre reasons about his exit, he decided to let us in on his little secret – the one and only reason Cyrus left the house is because Licious launched its reward-based program Licious Infiniti! Yes you heard that right. A visibly overjoyed Cyrus adds how he was more than happy to leave that house and come to his own house, as he has been enjoying juicy, delicious Licious products ever since. Clearly an offer he couldn’t refuse, Licious Infiniti is also the reason why he was enjoying his second plate of chicken tangdis at the time of posting this video.
“I left mid-season because my favorite meat brand – Licious launched their reward program – Licious Infiniti! Being a hardcore meat lover, my friends, this is just an offer that I could not refuse!,” says Cyrus. “It’s no secret I love my fresh meats & seafood, and it’s also no secret that I love money! Withthe LiciousInfiniti rewards program, it’s cash benefits on every purchase of meat. No limit!!!” he added in his post copy. As soon as Cyrus posted, his close friends as well as other ex-housemates came forth in his support. Cyrus’ very close friend and actor, food writer Kunal Vijaykar posted on his Insta handle stating Cyrus’ exit wasn’t to avoid drama, but it was in fact because probably Cyrus realized he is better at handling chicken wings than he is at handling tasks. He wondered if Cyrus was now touring Europe from the savings he made from Licious Infiniti. Heading off to sign-up on Licious Infiniti himself, Kunal jokingly added that he has made peace with the knowledge that he’s Cyrus’ second best friend because meat is obviously his first!
“When one of the funniest guys I know – Cyrus Broacha, ne house se exit le liya mujhe toh laga ke boss.. Definitely kuch badahuahai…maamle me kuch toh gadbadhai. Phir Cyrus explained recently ke it was because of Licious Infiniti. Ahhh I got it. Brothe… FULL SUPPORT! I mean… picture this.. Ek bandar jo subah mein kebab pav, lunch meinmurghmusallam, aur dinner mein mutton chaap…who wouldn’t want to enjoy all these amazingly tasty dishes and the benefits that come with it!” said famous Indian actor, Karan Kundraa on a reel posted on his Instagram.
Television actress, model and ex-housemate, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary was approached by paps on her way to a shoot and asked for a reaction to why Cyrus left the house. While she said she’s been hounded by these questions, she finally feels it’s time to respond. She goes on to applaud Cyrus for his wisdom to choose Licious Infiniti and have his priorities in place. She goes on to add that maybe if she was made such an offer, she would have left the house as well! She too had a little secret to reveal – that she’s already signed up to Licious Infiniti and is now enjoying fish fillet, crispy chicken and more. Watch her video post here. Likewise, another ex-housemate, actress and model Jasmine Bhasin posted saying she wishes she had the jiger to prioritize and focus on what truly makes her happy, much like what Cyrus has done. She adds how Licious Infiniti is a sheer delight for anyone who loves to eat mutton korma and fish fry everyday – like herself – and that too with endless benefits. She concludes her post with indicating that thankfully Licious Infiniti wasn’t around when she was in the house, else maybe she too would have waved goodbye and made an exit – all for Licious Infiniti.
Now that Cyrus’ followers and viewers finally know the real reason, they also must know that Licious recently celebrated their 8-year anniversary and has launched Licious Infiniti as a token of gratitude for its consumers. The reward-based program is exclusively available on the Licious App and as the name suggests, offers infinite benefits in the form of assured 10% cashback, free delivery and money back guarantee. With absolutely no terms & conditions attached, the more you order through Licious Infiniti, the more rewards you earn. So head to the Licious App now, join Licious Infiniti and like Cyrus, start enjoying meaty benefits that go on and on and on…!

Microsoft faces worst quarter since 2008 financial crisis
Cloud giant battles soaring AI costs and fierce competition from nimble startups.
MUMBAI: When the tech titan starts looking a little wobbly, even the Magnificent Seven can feel the tremors because Microsoft is currently starring in its own sequel, “Clouds and Doubts.” Microsoft is on track for its worst quarterly performance since the 2008 global financial crisis, according to Bloomberg, as investors grow increasingly uneasy about rising capital expenditure and intensifying competition from nimble AI firms. The company has been pouring money into AI infrastructure, yet markets are questioning when these hefty investments will finally deliver stronger revenue growth.
At the same time, investors are shifting away from traditional software stocks amid fears that AI startups such as Anthropic and OpenAI are developing autonomous agents capable of replacing established products, including those from Microsoft. Jonathan Cofsky, portfolio manager at Janus Henderson Investors, noted growing concern that customers may bypass Microsoft and deal directly with AI vendors, potentially disrupting its core business and putting pressure on pricing and margins.
Microsoft’s stock has tumbled 25 per cent in the first quarter, putting it on course for its largest drop since a 27 per cent fall in the fourth quarter of 2008. It has also emerged as the weakest performer among the so-called Magnificent Seven technology stocks, while a broader index tracking the group has fallen 14 per cent over the same period. The shares slipped a further 1.7 per cent after markets opened on Friday, marking a potential fourth consecutive session of declines.
Cofsky pointed out that Microsoft has become more capital intensive and that improved investor confidence will hinge on assurances that software growth will not slow materially. Despite the sell-off, the stock is now trading at less than 20 times projected earnings over the next 12 months, its lowest valuation level since June 2016. Its valuation remains slightly above that of the S&P 500 Index, although it has recently traded at a discount to the broader benchmark for the first time since 2015.
Bloomberg data shows Microsoft’s capital expenditure, including leases, is expected to surge to $146 billion in fiscal 2026, up around 66 per cent from $88 billion in fiscal 2025. Spending is projected to climb further to $170 billion in fiscal 2027 and $191 billion in fiscal 2028, based on average estimates. Investors are growing cautious about such levels of spending without clearer signs of stronger growth.
Microsoft’s Azure cloud division has reported a slight slowdown in growth compared with the previous quarter, while its Copilot AI product has seen limited user traction, prompting internal changes aimed at improving performance. Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Melius Research, warned in a March note that Microsoft’s upside in Azure could be constrained as the company works to address challenges related to its AI models and Copilot offering, adding that these issues are unlikely to be resolved in the short term.
Of the 67 analysts covering Microsoft, 63 maintain buy ratings, three hold ratings and one a sell rating. The average 12-month price target of $592 implies a potential upside of more than 64 per cent, the highest on record based on data going back to 2009. The stock is also trading below its 200-day moving average by the widest margin since 2009.
Reitzes suggested the dominance of buy ratings may indicate complacency among analysts, while highlighting risks in Microsoft’s productivity and business processes segment as well as its More Personal Computing division. In contrast, Tal Liani of Bank of America reinstated coverage with a buy rating, citing durable multi-year growth prospects across cloud and AI. Jake Seltz, portfolio manager at Allspring Global Investments, maintained that Microsoft retains strong long-term value and that its AI strategy is likely to be validated over time, viewing near-term concerns as a potential opportunity for longer-term investors.
The report highlights a growing divergence in market sentiment, with optimism around long-term AI potential weighed against immediate execution risks and investor uncertainty. In the world of big tech, even the mightiest clouds can have silver linings but right now, Microsoft’s investors are scanning the horizon for clearer skies.
