Did Raj Shamani Get Caught with “Paid Podcasts”? Manager’s IG Story Sparks Roast Frenzy!
Was Raj Shamani accidentally exposed? It’s drama central, and the internet is loving it. Yesterday, a tiny misstep turned into full-blown gossip when a fan noticed something suspicious in Raj Shamani’s manager’s Instagram Story—a laptop screen with a folder named “Paid Podcasts.”
Suddenly, questions flew in faster than the upload count on his Figuring Out channel: “Are some of those high-profile interviews just paid-for PR fluff?” Well, shocker—paid podcast episodes are a known thing, not just for Raj but for many creators. Still, when the receipts surface, it’s always spicy.
Reddit reactions? Savage. One user hilariously quipped: “Ab painter whitewashing free mein thodi karega!” (Even a house painter won’t do that for free anymore!) Another insider posted this claim:
“Raj Shamani — 25 lakhs in January 2025.”
Reference to payments for guest appearances, of course — supply chain anonymity ftw. Reddit+1
And on X/Twitter, someone chimed in:
“Washing Machine for a reason.”

But let’s get some context:
- Raj Shamani is no small fish. He’s a 27-year-old YouTuber, podcaster, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker with 400 million annual views through his Figuring Out podcast. The Times of IndiaWikipedia
- He’s interviewed global names—Bill Gates, Vijay Mallya, Aamir Khan—and even claimed he randomly bumped into Mallya in London for a four-hour chat. The Economic Times
Now, fans are torn:
- “Obviously some episodes are paid—are you living under a rock?”
- “So much for that ‘authentic content’ shtick, huh?”
What’s Next? Will Raj address the “Paid Podcasts” leak? Will this spark a broader transparency debate in the creator community—or will it fade into another influencer vapid moment?
Either way, the Figuring Out echo chamber just got louder. Stay tuned—this podcast drama is far from over.
